According to this scientific theory, there is still hope for brokenhearted girls!

If you ask a certain physicist with the reputation of having one of the most brilliant minds in the world a very serious question about Zayn Malik....you will get his answer.

This past weekend Physicist Stephen Hawking was giving a lecture on stuff like black holes and the future of humanity, when someone decided to ask him this question:

"What do you think is the cosmological effect of Zayn leaving One Direction and consequently breaking the hearts of millions of teenage girls across the world?"

Hawking's initial response: "Finally, a question about something important." Lol.

Hawkings then advised any heartbroken young girl to pay attention to theoretical physics, because science may someday prove the existence of multiple universes.

This means, he says, that in one of those universes, Zayn could still be in One Direction, and in another universe, he could be happily married to that brokenhearted girl.

Whatever helps you cope.
