He is one smart guy and I respect him. Anyways, I was wondering how that voice communication thing he uses works. Does it pick up what his mind is thinking or something heh? Since I doubt he could type that fast. (his fingers would be tired!)

I've often wondered that as well. Another thing, if you were Stephen Hawking and your chair died on railroad tracks, would you tell the machine yell "Help!" a lot, or would you first crank up the volume, consuming time, but resulting in a more likely occurence of someone hearing you? I honestly am not sure what the best COA would be there, I guess we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen to him cause it'd be a big loss if Stephen Hawking were to die...

That would be pretty embarrassing if I had to use a machine that said whatever I was thinking. I'm not always "in control" of my thoughts. It would be like "The universe is made up of....sex....boobies....nudity......many planets and stars".
