Professor Stephen Hawking

This is the personal website of world-famous cosmologist Stephen Hawking. The site is delightfully modest in design, and the content covers much the sort of material you'd expect from any academic with an interest in physics. The homey feel, of course, is what makes the site attractive. Hawking's home page photo pictures him lecturing at the White House. Another home page link is to a cartoon of Hawking from a special "appearance" in an episode of The Simpsons. The best part of this site is in the link to a series of Hawking lectures delivered for public audiences over the years. The full texts of those talks on time, life in the universe, quantum cosmology, and related areas will appeal to anyone intrigued by both Hawking and his theories. But the best news from this site is the promise that within a few weeks, Hawking will deliver us an exciting new series of web pages assisted by Intel and Okupi. So bookmark this page and check back in a while for an exciting ride through the cosmos.
