Stephen Hawking, the renowned British theoretical physicist, was a brilliant mind who made significant contributions to cosmology and theoretical physics. Despite battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) from an early age, Hawking defied expectations and became a scientific icon, known for both his genius and sense of humor. His passing in 2018 left a void in the scientific world and beyond.
The legacy of Stephen Hawking transcends his academic work, becoming an endless source of memes in popular culture. From dark humor memes about Hawking and his iconic wheelchair to clever jokes about black holes, the internet hasn't stopped joking about him. In early 2024, Hawking's figure went viral again due to unexpected news: his name appeared on the revealed Epstein list, sparking a new wave of memes entirely different from what had been shared before.
