LONDON -- Professor Stephen Hawking grapples with some of the most profound and Uncut Archivescomplex questions known to humankind.

But there's one issue even this world-renowned genius doesn't care to tackle: Brexit.

At the 'Pride of Britain' Awards on Monday night, Hawking received a lifetime achievement award from Theresa May.

In response, he said: "Thank you Prime Minister for those very kind words.

“I deal with tough mathematical questions every day, but please don’t ask me to help with Brexit.”

Hawking is not the only British academic to warn about the logistical challenges posed by Brexit.

The independent research group The UK in a Changing Europe recently published a report that apprises the enormity of the task of extricating Britain from the EU -- once Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is triggered.

Just to recap, Article 50 sets out how an EU country could voluntarily leave the union, but it has yet to be formally invoked.

Led by Professor Anand Menon of King’s College London, the document ventures to assess the question, "what happens next?" once the ball is set rolling on Article 50.

Speaking to Mashable, Prof. Menon said: "Public administrations are used to dealing with very complicated problems: countries run wars, they set up health services.

"Human ingenuity is quite good at finding a way around things."

"Human ingenuity is quite good at finding a way around things. We’re not for a moment saying this is impossible -- we’re just saying it’s going to be hard, and we should be aware of that before we start."

As part of their analysis, the group addresses the capacity of the Civil Service to accomplish the task set out by the 'great repeal bill.' It's a piece of legislation that mandates the conversion of EU regulations into British law.

To avoid a legal vacuum and mass uncertainty once Britain officially leaves the EU, the bill would instate European laws, which Professor Menon confirms to be "in itself a monstrous task."

The debate between MPs to determine which laws stay and which ones go prefaces the comparably daunting undertaking of negotiating Britain's future relationship with EU members.

"It is a massive process that involves every single part of our state. From the Civil Service to the Scots, the Welsh, the Northern Irish, and the English, all parts of our government — they have to agree amongst themselves and then negotiate with partners that have got a very different view of what we should be doing," said Prof. Menon.

Ladies and gentlemen, Brexit: the bureaucratic headache even Stephen Hawking can't stomach.
