I'll bet the Pope was super jealous about teh Star Trek thing. And actually, I thought that photo showed the Pope attempting a Catholic Mind Meld with Hawkings.

You can see the shockwave of power going through Hawking's head.

Vicious, vicious attack

[nianfong]

actually you can tell that hawkings is shielding. his brain is projecting a telekinetic shield protecting him from damage from the kai blast from the pope.

[Bär]

It just looks like Hawking is recoiling in horror to me.

Here is the background of the photo...

Stephen Hawking, the cosmologist and author of the bestselling A Brief History of Time, is to take part today in a conference at the Vatican on Darwin, evolution and intelligent design.

Pope Benedict XVI this morning opened the conference, organised by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which will last until next Tuesday. He said that like modern Popes before him, he saw no contradiction between the Christian concept of Creation and science. He cited Galileo, whom, he said "saw nature as a book whose author is God in the same way that Scripture has God as its author." He added: "To "evolve" literally means "to unroll a scroll", that is, to read a book. The imagery of nature as a book has its roots in Christianity, and has been held dear by many scientists."

Professor Hawking, 66, recalled that he had taken part in a Vatican scientific conference 30 years ago, when he had observed that since the universe had no identifiable beginning, there had been no creation. He joked that he hoped the Pope was unaware of this, "otherwise I might share the fate of Galileo".

Last month, the Vatican said the theory of evolution was compatible with the Bible but there was no need for a posthumous apology to Charles Darwin, who, in the 19th century, was attacked by the Church of England for theories which contradicted the Biblical account of the Creation.

The Catholic Church accepts evolution, but sees it as part of the divine plan. Pope Benedict has been described as a "theistic evolutionist" who believes that God created life through evolution, and thus that there is no inherent clash between religion and science.

notice that the pope's palm is not actually contacting hawkings' head

[Interloper]

Well, that's the telekinetic shield in action. No Catholic Mind Meld for Professor Hawking!
