Stephen Hawking Has a Message For One Direction Fans
An anonymous reader points out that Stephen Hawking recently gave some advice for One Direction fans. What is the cosmological effect of singer Zayn Malik leaving the best-selling boy band One Direction and consequently disappointing millions of teenage girls around the world? The advice of British cosmologist Stephen Hawking to heartbroken fans is to follow theoretical physics, because Malik may well still be a member of the pop group in another universe. The physicist took a break from speaking about his work as one of the world's leading scientists to answer the question from one upset fan during a talk at Sydney Opera House at the weekend. 'Finally a question about something important,' Hawking, who appeared via hologram, said to loud laughs from the audience. 'My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay attention to the study of theoretical physics because, one day, there may well be proof of multiple universes. It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another, different universe and, in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction.'"
I'm not sure if I think it's incredibly disheartening that Stephen Hawking had been following that whole situation, or that I think it's incredibly cool that he's that in touch with kids. Hm.
Can it be both?

the AI which hacked hawking's system and is using him as a puppet has developed a sense of humor.
we're doomed, and it will be hilarious.
Sooo, you want a universe where Washington got access to the Fountain of Youth and people keep voting him into the presidency against his will?
This is really stupid. What next - don't mourn the passing of your child - in another universe they might be alive? Fat lot of good that does for anyone here - after all, neither their nor their child's doppelganger in another universe would be an exact replica.
But I'll look at the bright side - in another universe crap like this wouldn't make it to slashdot's front page.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
"The evidence just isn't there."
You're wrong; it just isn't HERE. The evidence is all in some other universe...
Some would say the fact of quantum mechanical effects such as the split beam interference experiment suggest such a mutiverse does exist. And quite credible scientists are debating it.
