+Media coverage saying that Stephen Hawking is right which promotes physics.
This is not altruism this is intelligent promotion of a topic that you want children and young adults to be educated in.
It is a paid advertisement for physics by a celebrity. Similar to athletes who get paid endorsements. It encourages people to challenge him. Using his celebrity status can inspire people into doing Physics, Math or Engineering. We need more scientists and engineers. Professor Hawking knows Physics but even better he knows how the play the media.
