Stephen Hawking has got a Facebook account, where he promises to announce his discoveries

On October 9, one of the greatest scientists of our time, Steven Hawking, started his own Facebook account . He did it for a reason, and to increase the number of points of contact with society.

In one of his first posts, Hawking said that he always wanted to know why the Universe exists. The scientist makes all efforts to explore our world, and since the opportunities for communication with the advent of social networks have increased many times, scientists will use Facebook to share their latest discoveries with us.

Since the appearance of Hawking's account on Facebook, the scientist has already managed to share his opinion about the notorious Ice Bucket Challenge. Stephen suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the disease against which IBC is directed.

In general, it now remains only to subscribe to the account of a scientist and wait for the promised announcements of the next discoveries and achievements. In general, if someone does not accept social networks, then this opportunity to talk with a famous scientist personally (or just read about his scientific and ordinary life) fully justifies the idea of ​​"social networks".
