VIDEO : Stephen Hawking Says One Direction Could Be Intact in the Multiverse - CNET

Stephen Hawking is taking on an unlikely new role as grief counselor to the innumerable tweens devastated by Zayn Malik's departure from One Direction. During a special live event Saturday evening at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, a hologram of the famed physicist appeared onstage to answer some questions. The final pre-submitted question of the evening was a real curveball: "What do you think is the cosmological effect of Zayn leaving One Direction and consequently breaking the hearts of millions of teenage girls across the world?" Via his digital voice assistant, Hawking deadpanned "Finally, a question about something important." He urged the heartbroken to seek solace in the quantum embrace of theoretical physics. He said, "Because one day there may well be proof of multiple universes. 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."??
