The famous theoretical physicist professor Stephen Hawking is now on Facebook, asking fans to be "curious".
In his first Facebook post, Mr Hawking said, "I have always wondered what makes the universe exist. Time and space may forever be a mystery, but that has not stopped my pursuit."
"Our connections to one another have grown infinitely and now that I have the chance, I am eager to share this journey with you. Be curious, I know I will forever be," he added.
Mr Hawking's page has garnered over 9,00,000 likes so far.
The number is likely to grow exponentially when a biopic about Mr Hawking's life, "The Theory of Everything" premieres soon, media reports said.
