Stephen Hawking has some comforting words for the heartbroken young girls still obsessing over Zayn Malik’s exit from One Direction and in the process, modernized the subject of physics by making it relatable the younger generation.
Hawking made an appearance at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday and responded to a fan who submitted a question about Malik. He brought up theoretical physics, suggesting Malik could still be in the group.
“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,” he said, EW reports.
He continued, “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.”
Hawking was the subject of the Oscar-winning The Theory of Everything and praised Eddie Redmayne for his performance, which won him the Best Actor Oscar this year.
