Stephen Hawking made a holographic appearance at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday, where an audience member asked him what teenage girls across the world are currently wondering: “What do you think is the cosmological effect of Zayn [Malik] leaving One Direction?“

Hey, someone HAD to ask one of the smartest people on the planet about this......amirite!?

The renowned physicist responded, “Finally, a question about something important.“ He then went on to advise all heartbroken girls to study theoretical physics, which suggests that there is another universe outside the one we currently know. “And in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction,“ Hawking explained. “This girl may like to know that in another possible universe, she and Zayn are happily married.”

This guy is almost as brilliant as I am.
