[@crewlove7350]

R.I.P Stephen

[@Jaymindrew1990]

Thomas Kings I thought that was great too. I’m very sad he isn’t here now, but I loved his work.

[@kaileyllewellyn]

The cutest

[@bbkjdream1157]

[@anushabheemul5171]

Awwwww that hug make me cry😢

[@GauravYadav-xg4xq]

Me too😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@engineershakilahmad342]

Because Mr Stephen hawking is near to going in hell.he is lier .because he say that there is no GOD .he is totally wrong .Our GOD (Allah) makes this universe and everything's around us control by Allah .I hate that badlucky man mr stephen Hawking

[@anushabheemul5171]

engineer shakil ahmad heyyyyy fuckkkkkkkkkk off ok

[@engineershakilahmad342]

Anusha Bheemul ooooooooo comonnnnnnnn

[@drvir]

engineer shakil ahmad Allah/god, is FAKE! No god exists. Stephen Hawking was like my grandpa so fuck off!

[@Ragazar]

Man, it would've been hillarious if he joked and had the computer say "No" right after she ended the hug.

[@Themeparknerd1993]

Johan Sjöö Ferm 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[@instralikesoranges1659]

i was think the same thing XD xd Xd xD

[@miryammaisarah9418]

Yesssss!!!! 😂

[@gokulg9474]

Bruh!😂😂😂

[@callumg_0147]

"Get the fuck off me, I'm on my grindset"

[@Valithaish]

That girl did what I've always wanted to do... Give Stephen Hawking a hug!

[@CaptIronfoundersson]

You've gotta love when a man with the mental capacity of about half the world combined can be humble and entertainingly self deprecating.

[@Luke-ks5gg]

Indeed

[@stealthrubber10]

I died when he smiled when she asked for a hug...

[@azharquadri6745]

Laymore rip

[@Truthseeker182]

My heart swells for this man.

[@zaknafein_aconite]

+Unknown Clown homophobe

[@thebisexualteen7167]

+Black Skull lol nice reply he said.homo so you said homophobe i.cant believe i disnt think of dping that

[@Antipodean33]

Really, you identify yourself by your sexuality? oh man what the fuck has happened to this specie

[@Handcuff_Collector]

He passed away

[@naveensharma4459]

Yep yar bhai

[@afl9166]

That smile tho! :)

[@RR-vh9st]

Indeed! He may not have body movement but at least you can still read his facial expression.

[@syren4731]

I loved how she asked to hug him. I would've asked too ~

[@Jayman2800]

1:19 That was absolutely adorable.

[@angelajohn6343]

It was so sweet of him to allow her to hug If I was there I would have started crying He is not only a genius but a great human as well RIP Prof. Hawking

[@Vylkeer]

Woah, it had to be a thrilling experience to be next to him and chat with him. In other Hawking's appearances you don't realize how long it took him to compose a sentence, while this video, being uncut, made it very evident. Interacting with a person affected by ALS is so shocking and fascinating at the same time, a very unique experience. Let alone with Prof. Hawking. He may be gone now, but his sensational discoveries and theories will keep lighting up the World forever. RIP.

[@willholmes8155]

Cool

[@SkillLevel0]

Strongest man on the planet

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

Hardly

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

PoaS do you feel better now? Next time try and come up with a more intelligent reply if you are capable.

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

You still haven't grasped how to write an intelligent reply, come back when you make an effort.

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

Mia who died and made you the queen of KZbin comments? Just because everyone aren't as gullible as you doesn't mean they can't have their say.

[@oliviapetrowski4553]

When Alex said, "Can I give you a hug?" Stephen looked really nervous.

[@streamofawareness]

Nah, he was smiling to say yes she could hug him. It probably feels nice because he's used to only being touched when he's being taken care of like bathing, shaving, dressing and so forth. It's different from something affectionate, like holding hands or hugging. I bet people who don't take care of him every day are afraid to touch him and hurt him because he looks so fragile, but he's not glass. He got bounced around in zero G's and said it was fun.

[@salohiddin_abduvohobov2186]

Island boy

[@Bianca-vf5zg]

Stephen Hawking is a great man, he is an inspiration for me. Discovering things scientist couldn't explain. He is very inspiring and he's my idol.

[@thebisexualteen7167]

all true

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

Surely you don't believe that nonsense, he's just a puppet.

[@drvir]

cattlewrangler walsh You are a puppet bitch

[@krishnamohanyerrabilli4040]

And he's my idol too

[@moonlight.j374]

@@cattlewranglerwalsh116 do u have any proof to justify ur statement??

[@fionarhiannonpitbullextrao5786]

Seeing her ask if she could hug him and he smiled like that, brought the dopiest grin to my face. So sweet!!!!

[@MahaExperiments]

Miss you so much Stephen Hawking 😢😢😢

[@activepanda5989]

Every time I watch His Smiles..it brings tears in my eyes... RIP Beautiful Soul ! 🙏🙏

[@merlieosoria71]

When he smiles it makes me sad cuz i wanted to meet him before his times up and it is....seeing his smile and being happy keeps me alive and more confident about myself

[@ab_obada5012]

I am wondering. How he was chasing kids in the island.

[@mjrd_sh5s]

Maybe he was imagining it in his mind 😂

[@geoflower6340]

He is a truly inspirational man, his story i still find amazing and touching. By watching many videos i have learnt he has a great sense of humor and that's one of the biggest things I love about him. His smile just brings me joy, I don't know if i know how, but it just does. :)

[@darthglobe4285]

His smile!! Elegant!! Surely human brain has no bounds!!

[@GauravYadav-xg4xq]

Darth Globe he is no more😢😢😭

[@marxlarjar]

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

He wanted a lap dance not a hug

[@haripriya4620]

It's really a blessing to see that great personality

[@Estoniran]

i could imagine someone trying to shake his hand by accident

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

In one video a woman holds his hand in the air and it looks artificial not even attached to his body.

[@edith1315]

I would give him a thousand hugs, I truly admire him

[@Valdez026]

[@jeet5205]

Stephen hawking is lovely scientists in the cosmos world

[@mattg2861]

I miss Stephen Hawking. We could do with some of his wisdom in these dark days.

[@quebloom4252]

He died today ;(

[@nadirashah7192]

Originhoakgle QV yes😭😭

[@JoaoVitor-ce7dx]

😢

[@lollertoaster]

When he is gone, all those beautiful quotes will be wrote down and remembered. But who would want to be remembered as a quote generator and not a loving father and husband, good friend, hard-working scientist. Maybe what I feel is not even remotely close to reality, probably, even if true, that wouldn't bother him, but I think for many Mr. Hawking is just that smart guy on a wheel chair with robotic voice. People see achievements of a great scientist, but not scientist himself.

[@rragon7741]

He’s dead

[@anshalaziz2827]

He's dead now.😭

[@btcbeddeledadda7157]

Greatest scientist. We will always be in people's memories.😧🙏

[@Andybiotics]

Great stuff, I am humbled by Professor Hawking's humility. Not that I mind, but I kinda wish his assistance(s) would help him wipe his drooling.
