The Burn of the Century

This picture shows a conversation between the late physicist Sir Stephen Hawking and funny-man John Oliver. His sense of humor can come across as abrasive to some people, but he’s generally a hilarious comedian. But as it turns out, Mr. Hawking had a couple of jokes up his sleeves.

During the interview, John Oliver wants to confirm with Mr. Hawking that since there’s an infinite number of universes out there, there should be at least one where the comedian is smarter than the physicist. Mr. Hawking confirms this while letting John know that there’s also a universe where the comedian is funny.
