between having him and pynchon as guests, I'd tend to agree


The Townleybomb - 2009-10-20

I like that they used his real robot voice.


Caminante Nocturno - 2009-10-20

I'm skeptical.


Time Travel Mishap - 2009-10-20

I'm not sure when this was recorded but he is talking about the episode he made in 99 back when the show was still pretty good.


Caminante Nocturno - 2009-10-21

I'm pretty sure the quality of the show had little to do with Hawking's willingness.


Desidiosus - 2009-10-20

Why is he still using the same synthesized voice after ten years?


simon666 - 2009-10-20

Because it is recognized as his, and in fact is his voice.


jaunch - 2009-10-20

I've thought about that too. Wouldn't it be cool if his voice suddenly switched to the GOOG411 voice? Or any of the modern speech synthesis voices? If I was him, I would definitely switch. I bet there are plenty of companies that would donate the system to him. But like simon666 said, since everyone knows that voice as him, I can see why he wouldn't want to change.

I've also thought about it too. Did anyone see the show where the MIT guy is constantly upgrading his prosthetic leg? I could easily see someone like Hawking taking the opportunity to play with new synthesis tools. Maybe he's afraid of falling in the uncanny valley.


pastorofmuppets - 2009-10-20

oops, hope no one noticed that


Unmerciful Crushing Force - 2009-10-20

I think they were developing a proper British-accented voice for him a while back but I guess the plans fell through.


Caminante Nocturno - 2009-10-20

I'd like to think that Stephen Hawking and Hatsune Miku are close friends.


boner - 2009-10-20

I want to see him eat a pizza.

"Though sometimes, I'm sorely tempted."

:D

I'd be honoured to go punch someone for Hawking. All he's gotta do is ask and that dude is as good as punched.


La Loco - 2009-10-20

He's like professor X. Life imitates art.


Riskbreaker - 2009-10-20

Used to be Stephen, used to be.


dora's cough - 2009-10-21

stephen hawking doesn't like pizza? fuck that guy.


pastorofmuppets - 2009-10-21

He's British, he's old, and his mouth doesn't work. He's got reasons man.


JimL2 - 2009-10-23

Bah! Stephen Hawking in a pizzeria! This thing isn't worth the gold it's made of.


IrishWhiskey - 2009-12-09

Hang on, Stephen LOVES pizza. I know, because that's where he discovered the Fry-Hole. I mean, Hawking-Hole.

PIZZA PIZZA
