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."
You are correct.
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”. She rolled her eyes and smiled at him and hugged him. She knew he was sincere and that’s how he is.
They’ve been married almost 40 years now.
Hawking is so smart he doesn’t need God.
I figured them out...
When they say no, it means yes... until it REALLY means no, but they may change their mind after a while, depending on whether or not they have the right shoes for the right outfit. You’re ALWAYS wrong, so it’s best just to agree, unless of course they WANT to fight, then it’s a no-win situation, no matter what you do...
...at that point, just look at the ceiling and say “Wow... I just don’t know what to think...”
When they say Yes, it really means no, unless it’s a Thursday, which means you have to wear blue as long as it doesn’t clash with the color of the window shades and it matches the shoes... it MUST match the shoes...
When they ask you “Does this make me look fat?” They REALLY don’t want you to be honest; they want you to say “I think you should have that same dress in SIX colors...” and then pay for it. If it’s a Monday, it’s EIGHT colors, and all in different shades of pastels. But sometimes zebra or cheetah prints, too, depending on the time of day and if the sun is shining or not (if it’s not, that’s YOUR fault too...). And of course, she’ll HAVE to get her hair done now, because, well, just because she HAS to.
And for God’s sake do NOT answer - EVER - “Well... that outfit really isn’t you...” That’s a dead giveaway that yes, YOU think she looks fat. Even if she isn’t... it’s best to just shut up and again, just look at the ceiling and say “Wow... I just don’t know what to think...”
Happiness depends on several things; time of month (that’s a HUG factor), amount of money transferred from YOUR wallet or the fact that there’s NO money IN it, the volume of the children’s Xbox games at any given moment - especially if YOU are the one playing and actually enjoying yourself - YOUR job is to entertain her, PERIOD), and the fact that the 30-ish next-door neighbor with the Boob Job is NOT sunbathing on her deck because it’s raining, or cold, or snowing... the happy quotient goes WAY down when that situation is unfolding on a sunny day, and you decide “Gee it’s time to mow the lawn AGAIN???...damn”; the dog, the cat, the goldfish, the carpet, her car, your car, the furniture, the television program at any given moment, her job, your job, the neighbor’s job, the neighbor’s Boob Job...
Yeah... it’s easy to figure it all out when you try.
Hogwash. Women are no great mystery. They think different from a man and as a man you have to know when to pick the battles you think you can win and when it’s time to call it quits.
to get their own way
Read Genesis Chapter 3.
The two most important words in a marriage, “Yes, dear.”
ROTFLMAO
Universe......................
When he steps outside of his area of expertise Mr Hawking often makes no sense.
Laughing at the neighbor with the boob job...

When we moved into our new home, my husband took a keen interest in the perfecting the front landscaping. He was out there every Saturday without fail.
He had been working on it for several weeks, when one day I happened to walk out front at just the right time. And there she was - across the street and down one home.
Long brown hair tied in a casual pony tail, bikini top and short shorts that showed off a lovely, tanned form. A beautiful, twenty something mowing her yard. (she may have been older, but looked great from my perspective)
I laughed out loud! For as long as she owned that home, I asked my husband every Saturday if he was going to see “Miss Titties” today. LOL! Never bothered me a bit, I enjoyed ribbing him about it.
No, the greatest mystery is cat brains. Female cat brains!
Cats are simple, all they want to hear is the sound of the can opener.
RE Neighbor:
Yeah.... there’s ALL sorts of dangerous distractions out there in the Suburban Jungle for us Lawn Warriors, haha!!
