Well, that got... weird.
Facebook held one of its regular Q&A Townhall sessions with Mark Zuckerberg Tuesday. Rather than a live event with Zuckerberg answering questions from a live audience, the question and answer session was in AMA format on the CEO's timeline.
But Tuesday's Townhall took a turn for the weird when a handful of Facebook's more high profile users, including Stephen Hawking, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Arianna Huffington, chimed in with their own questions for the Facebook boss.

In what must have been a well-orchestrated PR move from the social network, Hawking, Schwarzenegger and Huffington kicked things off by asking Zuckerberg about his take on science, workouts and journalism, respectively.
Hawking, noting his own interest in a unified theory of gravity, asked: "Which of the big questions in science would you like to know the answer to and why?" The CEO said he's "most interested in questions about people."
Schwarzenegger had a much more practical question: How does he find time to squeeze working out into his busy schedule? And, P.S., "will the machines win?"
Huffington, on the other hand wanted to know how storytelling format would evolve in the future.
Zuckerberg also answered several questions from non-famous Facebook users, including one long answer on the future of Facebook. While most people use text and photos to share in Facebook, the CEO said he sees that quickly evolving to video, virtual reality and eventually to a sci-fi-sounding future when "we'll have the power to share our full sensory and emotional experience with people whenever we'd like."
