Star trek is not about space fights. Its about the unlimited possible life forms and natural wonders that space holds for humanity. I am pretty sure Hawking liked it for the scientific creativity and various content about space phenomenons. Star trek is not some crappy space action movie like star wars.

The key ingredient for warp drives is just negative mass. Perhaps someone reading this can one day prove it is possible to even create negative mass. Do so and you will be able to explore the stars within a lifetime.

Wow ,what an absolute treat,the illustrious John Neville plays Newton! As anyone who remembers the amazing 1968 mini series The First Churchills will attest he played John Churchill ,Duke of Marlborough to a tee.an amazing actor who just looked so good in a wig,evidently the star trek producers agreed.The first Churchills is on KZread,check it out to see him in his glorious wig once more :)

Rest in peace, Mr. Hawking

Not to nitpick, but technically Professor Hawking doesn't play himself in this episode, but a Computer Hologram of himself.

He has been beamed up.

I just watched this episode today on Netflix! I simply randomly chosen this episode not knowing Steven Hawking was in this episode!

Love this show.

Was watching some TNG last night before finding out about Hawking, I remembered he was on an episode so I looked this up. Good stuff.

Kinda cool seeing him with that massive grin, clearly enjoying himself. Man, I miss Stephen Hawking.

one of many, many reasons why TNG is easily one of the best series of all time

Makes me happy seeing him smile

Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for everything. Your entire life is a lesson in resilience and badassery. Humanity will never forget you.

Thumbs up if you’re here to remember him as he lived and miss him very much, we’ll never forget him but at least we are blessed to have gotten to appreciate him while he was still on this earth. R.I.P. Steven.
