Holographic recreation of Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking was a noted Human scientist from Earth. At one point he held the Lucasian Chair, a position later held by Data after his retirement from Starfleet. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
In 2369, Lieutenant Commander Data created a holodeck version of Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton in order to watch how three of the greatest Human scientists would interact during a game of poker. Data's observations were "most illuminating". (TNG: "Descent")
Both of the 24th century Starfleet shuttlecrafts Hawking were named in honor of Stephen Hawking. (TNG: "The Host"; Star Trek Generations)
