According to mainstream media reports, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking passed away on Pi Day - which was also Albert Einstein's birthday. It's quite a coincidence, similar to John Perry Barlow passing away on the anniversary of his Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.
The whole Hawking story is quite suspicious to me. The average life expectancy of someone who is diagnosed with ALS - the ice bucket challenge disease - is 3 years [Source: ALS Association]. He supposedly lived 55 years after his diagnosis in 1963 with a prognosis of two years to live. Only 5 percent of people with ALS live for 20+ years after the diagnosis. Despite this terribly debilitating disease, Hawking somehow managed to look younger between the 1980's and 2018.
The Daily Mail was pretty skeptical about the entire situation, just 2 months ago.
They detailed signs that suggest he's been replaced, including:
- his ears decreased in size
- his teeth completely changed in structure
- he changed from a brunette to a blond
Here's his (first) wedding photo from 1965
His second wedding in 1995, to one of his nurses, features a bride wearing 2 different outfits with 2 different hair styles:
The explanation for this is they had a civil wedding on September 15, 1995 and a day later a church ceremony at St Barnabus in Cambridge. This is a valid explanation, in my opinion. And it looks like the same person in both photos, 30 years apart. More recent photos raise some legitimate questions.
You can see from his wedding photo that he has lost most of his bottom teeth:
And yet in later photos, he has 4 large, very distinctive, gnarly-looking lower teeth present. How is that possible? If he was to get dental work, they would not put in such ugly and impractical teeth.
In this photo, the teeth look completely different again. The shape of his nostrils is also quite different to the picture above:
His hands in later life looked normal, rather than the claw-like debilitation that is a symptom of ALS:
Why fake an astrophysicist in a wheelchair? The Daily Mail suggests the Hawking character is being used to push a political agenda:
"The Hawking of the last ten years has also pushed global warming, is anti-Trump, anti-Scottish Independence and anti-Brexit. He is suddenly very political, seemingly allowing his name to be tacked onto anything and everything in an attempt to make certain ideas or political agendas more credible; and, because the general public believe Professor Hawking is one of the most intelligent scientists of all time, this works.
"In recent years, he's waxed lyrical about climate change, is a supporter of The Paris Agreement and, in an article in The Guardian last year, was quoted as being in support of carbon tax. He also recorded a tribute for the Democratic candidate Al Gore and was part of an academic boycott of a conference in Israel."
He was an outspoken critic of President Trump, saying "He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator". Umm, yeah - the way to win elections is to appeal to the mass population, not the 1%. That's the whole point of democracy.
The origin of the conspiracy theory seems to be a paper by Miles Mathis. I don't always agree with Miles, but I respect his research. He certainly is thorough in his analyses. His formal training and life experience as a portrait artist gives him a visual eye for detail beyond ordinary human capabilities; this is used to great effect in his debunking of the Tait-LaBianca (Manson) Murders. He is also very passionate and informed about physics.
To summarize Miles' points:
the next longest living famous person with ALS - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease - was David Lee Roth's guitarist Jason Becker, who lived with it for just over 25 years. Hawking beat him by more than three decades
different teeth, cheeks, and hair colour
despite his debilitating disease, he appears to have got significantly younger between the 1970's (left) and 1990's (right)
Now, for vanity reasons, maybe Hawking dyed his hair...and his eyebrows. Maybe he even got plastic surgery. If so, why not fix the teeth?
Believe it or not, Stephen Hawking was also a notorious pussy hound and adulterer.
The Daily Beast covered this in 2014 "Strippers, Aliens, and Disturbing Abuse Claims". Hawking took delight in running over Prince Charles' toes in his wheelchair, and expressed regret that he never got to do it to Margaret Thatcher. His pal, titty bar impresario Peter Stringfellow said:
“He’s a man who lives within his brain and still manages to feel the overwhelming power of sex...I went and introduced myself and said, ‘Mr. Hawking, it’s an honor to meet you. If you could spare a minute or two, I’d love to chat with you about the universe...Then I paused for a bit and joked, ‘Or would you rather look at the girls?’"
“There was silence for a moment, and then he answered, ‘The Girls.’”

When New Scientist asked Hawking "what do you think about most during the day", his answer was: "women"
As well as some of the UK's finest fur parlors, Hawking was also a frequent visitor (with entourage) at Devore and Freedom Acres, swingers' clubs in Southern California:
"I have seen Stephen Hawking at the club more than a handful of times...He arrives with an entourage of nurses and assistants. Last time I saw him, he was in the back ‘play area’ lying on a bed fully clothed with two naked women gyrating all over him.”

This story was confirmed by a University of Cambridge press officer.
Stephen Hawking left behind three children and at least three grandchildren, and a fortune estimated at $20 million.
He also leaves behind a bunch of theories about black holes, including that they emit "Hawking radiation" and that they don't exist.
RIP Stephen Hawking, whoever you were. Perhaps one day humanity will know the truth about this man and his theories.
