Stephen Hawking was known for his brilliant mind and sharp wit, often delivering humor even in serious discussions about the universe. One famous anecdote occurred during a public lecture. Hawking had just finished a deep and complex explanation about black holes when he paused, and with his characteristic voice synthesizer, he said, "I have a friend who says black holes are where God divided by zero."


The audience burst into laughter, and Hawking smiled, enjoying the moment. His ability to find humor in the complexities of science made him not just a brilliant physicist but also a beloved figure. He showed that even the most profound subjects could be lightened with a good joke, reminding everyone that laughter can coexist with the mysteries of the universe and the challenges of devestating diseases.
