The late science icon played poker with Einstein, Isaac Newton and Data. So it was that Stephen Hawking became the first person ever to play himself on a Trek show when he was cast in the 1993. On the holodeck, Lt. Commander Data plays a game of poker with holographic representations of Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. Answering a question from Newton, Data explains that the game is an experiment for understanding 'how three of history's greatest minds would interact' in such a setting. Stephen Hawking: 'I was playing poker with Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Commander Data on the Starship Enterprise!' by Gemma Lavender, 14 March 2018 Back in 2014, we caught up with the great scientist to get his thoughts on the universe, his cameo in Star Trek: The Next Generation and why we could be living in a hologram. (Of note, Isaac Newton, Hawking and Data's holographic poker-mate, held the position from 1669 to 1702.) I was lucky enough to be in high school just when Hawking's book A Brief History of Time was making waves.

The world is in mourning, Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest scientific minds of the past 100 years, has passed away.

USS Enterprise's Lieutenant Commander Data was a well-known poker fan, he called the game 'a useful forum for exploring the different facets of humanity' despite at times being baffled by obscure poker concepts such as.. bluffing.

He was so fascinated by the game that in the season 6 finale 'The Descent part 1', he used the Holodeck (a room that created lifelike simulations) to have a 4 handed poker game with three of the greatest physicists of all time, Albert Einstein, Newton and, of course, Stephen Hawking.

The game was Data's favorite, 5-Card Draw, blinds and antes were meaningless in the post-scarcity economy of the 24th Century (that or the Star Trek writers knew jack about poker). We only saw a single hand but it was enough to tell us about the type of player Hawking was..

Did you catch that? He is relaxed, making jokes, entertaining the fish Albert Einstein while taking that old nit Isaac Newton down a peg. Based on this clip, we can tell Stephen Hawking could've been a stone cold poker pro!
