He may have grappled with some of the biggest questions about the universe but Professor Stephen Hawking has revealed that one "mystery" that still intrigues him the most is women.
The eminent physicist said the opposite sex is "life's most intriguing mystery", but admitted it is a mystery that should remain unsolved.
The scientist was responding to questions during a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session where he discussed a range of different subjects from artificial intelligence to his favourite song.
When asked what the one mystery in life he found most intriguing was, he replied: "Women. My PA reminds me that although I have a PhD in physics, women should remain a mystery."
And his admission has been met with a somewhat unhappy response on Twitter.
One person wrote: "Ugh seriously", while another posted "Is that an excuse?"
This is not the first time Hawking has played with feminist fire as he made a similar comment about the mysteries of women two years ago.
The Reddit AMA with Professor Hawking attracted more than 9,000 questions and comments, making it the third most popular of the events that the websites has hosted.
But it took Hawking nearly four months to reply and he responded to just 11 questions.
Speaking about the threat of artificial intelligence, he added: "The real risk with AI isn't malice but competence.
"A superintelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals and if those goals aren't aligned with ours, we're in trouble.
"You're probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you're in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there's an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants.
"Let's not place humanity in the position of those ants."
Ditto !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he didn’t have his physical problems he would be unheard of except by the few in his field.

What women want is not a mystery.
It’s just admitting the truth is not worth the pain it will cause you.
You don’t have to figure out “women”, you just have to figure out one “woman”.
And just like men, not all women are the same, or created equally in many aspects.
The guy may be eccentric, but he has a sense of humor. It’s a wry bit of British humor, matey!
Leave it to the feminazis to get mad over this!
Peter Higgs Goes Batshit On Stephn Hawkins.
Peter is THE Higgs of Higgs Bosin Nobel Prize fame. Really ...this is good.
As a woman I’d like to say your post is the most thoughtful and correct.
Methinks that “Dr.” Hawking may be the most over-rated person on the planet.
Exactly.

Only simps dont understand women. The real idiots are the ones that go along with it knowing the truth.
LOL!
I copied that and sent it to a lady friend. She was not happy. Oh, well. She’ll get over it.
Send her some chocolates.
Send her some chocolates.
Good idea. She is over a thousand miles away so she can’t smack me.
I knew a nerdy guy that upset his wife. He went out and got some realistic fake flowers and when he gave them to he said “You can dust this kind off”. He made it worse. LOL
They’ve been married almost 40 years now.
