TBH, I wouldn't say that that is what intelligence is, but then why quibble with Dr. Hawking (one of the towering intellects of the last half-century)?

8. Pretty sure that's photoshopped, and there's no evidence that's a Hawking quote.

Mine was made by a friend, so it does not attribute the quote to Hawking, which is probably just as well since there is no proof that he said it.

It’s a fake shirt and a fake quote. It was originally posted like this in 2015. I assume this 2015 image is legitimate because it is a shirt that Neil sells.

The image you posted is obviously a photoshop. Further, that quote is widely but attributed to Stephen Hawking but appears to be completely unsourced and most likely fake.

While I appreciate your attempt at posting “feel good” content but let’s keep it genuine. I’m not saying you did this intentionally - just that we should strive for reality over fantasy.

My younger brother just celebrated is 50th birthday last week.

Whenever any of my siblings has a birthday, I always say,
"Hey, I'm still in my 30's."
My engineer brothers get it, the rest are still trying to figure it out.

I'm 3Ah
Much older in octal at 72
Way older in binary at 111010
