I always wondered if Steven Hawking was ever actually a guest on The Simpsons or any other cartoon he appears in. Surely he had the easiest voice to fake back before modern robo voices and AI.
He was a guest at epstines Island too, just because he’s disabled doesn’t mean he lives in a box.
Yes, for exactly 2 series!
He was a Futurama fan and recorded his voice three times for the show. Gygax and Al Gore also did their own voices.
He also did voice work on The Simpsons. In both they sent him the lines and he recorded them at home.
He also did a few live action shows and appeared in Star Trek TNG, The Big Bang Theory, narrated Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking, and hosted Masters of Science Fiction (off screen). He also did some talk shows and some factual stuff, but that’s less interesting in this context.
The other places where you see him were people just using a voice synth.
For those curious, the donut shaped universe shown isn’t what the theoretical universe model actually looks like,
What it represents is an “asteroids like” geometry of a two dimensional universe where exiting one “side” brings you to a corresponding point on the other.
The proposed donut geometry of the universe is what’s called a 3-roid or 3-tauroid, which is basically the same idea as the asteroids like 2D universe but for a prism instead of a rectangle. Meaning that our ability to return to the starting point is based on the fact that we are moving along a 3-D “surface” of a 4th dimensional object, the way the Asteroids ship loops back to the start by moving across the 2-dimensional surface of a 3-D geometry.
Part of me wonders if this means that the actual boundaries of the universe are at 0+ and 0- along the W/A axis in 4-D space, and if that means that every character who has some power related to moving in 4-D space would actually just fall out of space and time if they ever tried using their abilities for real.
What.
This but the donut is 4d so that 3d things can move around on it (I think…)
So a donut just like in the picture? Homer was rights the earth isn’t flat but donut shaped
to me at least, the picture made it look like the galaxies and stuff were inside the “bread” of the donut, as opposed to being “frosting” on the surface.
