Stephen Hawking is entering another fascinating and yet bizarre part of the world that stretches the very notion of reality; Facebook.

Hawking posted his first Facebook status update on Friday. "I have always wondered what makes the universe exist. Time and space may forever be a mystery, but that has not stopped my pursuit," the renowned British physicist wrote Friday morning. "Our connections to one another have grown infinitely and now that I have the chance, I'm eager to share this journey with you. Be curious, I know I will forever be."

Hawking's Facebook page has been up since the start of October, but this is the firs status he ever posted. Now, he is the smartest member of the social network. Though, Hawking is an ALS patient, he missed the trend of the Ice Bucket Challenge, but he didn't miss the chance to upload his own Ice Bucket Challenge video, which he shoot earlier this year, with the caption, "Because I had pneumonia last year, it would not be wise for me to have a bucket of cold water poured over me," he explained using his speech-generating device, "But my children, Robert, Lucy, and Tim gallantly volunteered to take the challenge for me."

His page has gathered more than 900,000 likes, but that number is possibly to grow exponentially when a biopic about Hawking entitled The Theory of Everything releases soon. The film starts Eddie Redmayne, it is according to book by Jane, Hawking's first wife, entitled, "Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen."

Hawking did not join Facebook just for the sake of the film's promotion, but to be updated about the world and update the fans about him. He was able to produce a sufficient amount of buzz on his own. His fans from Pakistan to Canada posted in his page with notes and welcome messages about the 72 year old scientist.
