LAS VEGAS — Physicist Stephen Hawking has signed on to be a judge at the 2011 Miss USA Pageant next month.

Hawking appears delighted by the invitation. He told reporters outside of his University of Cambridge office, “This is as close as I’ll get to an afterlife.”

Officials at the Miss USA Organization, were impressed by Hawking’s extensive research in cosmology and offered him a spot on the coveted judging roster.

Veronica Jennings, publicity manager for the Trump Organization, shared the news at a news conference at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Monday. “Like Mr. Hawking, we believe there is a science to beauty. We plan to seat him next to Johnny Weir.”

Vegas oddsmakers predict Hawking will go for either Miss Vermont or Miss Massachusetts.

According to Hawking’s web site, beauty is expressed mathematically as a ratio of 1.618.

Well I last year in my Theory of Knowledge class, some of my classmates did a presentation on beauty defined by mathematics. And mathematicians and scientists actually do have it down to a number: a ratio of 1.618

Our attraction to another person's body increases if that body is symmetrical and in proportion. Likewise, if a face is in proportion, we are more likely to notice it and find it beautiful. Scientists believe that we perceive proportional bodies to be more healthy. This is the beauty ratio mask:

So let's take Jessica Simpson for example. Let's see what happens when that mathematical beauty ratio is placed on her face. It fits! So therefore she's beautiful?

Another example is the human smile. The front two teeth form a golden rectangle (which is said to be one of the most visually satisfying of forms, as it is formed with sides of 1 and 1.618). There is also a Golden Ratio in the height to width of the center two teeth. And the ratio of the width of the two center teeth to those next to them is phi. And, the ratio of the width of the smile to the third tooth from the center is also phi.

Maybe this is something that helps Osmel Sousa when he transform a group of ladies every year. Example: Elizabeth Mosquera

Dudo q Osmel use dicho mathematical ratios and analytical software to choose the winners of miss Venezuela. I think he has a gift for seeing beyond the apparent beauty and into the potential for transforming those faces...

Stephen Hawking... Can't picture him as a beauty pageant judge, but good for him... love his books... he is one of the greatest minds alive
