Stephen Hawking will give a free talk entitled “My Brief History” on Tuesday, January 18, at 8 p.m. in Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium.
Stephen Hawking is the Director of Research in the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge.
Professor Hawking has given the world insights into the birth of the universe, the deaths of black holes, and the future of the human race. His worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time is a landmark in science writing. He did much of his seminal research on black holes during a yearlong visit to Caltech in 1974-75. Since 1992, Caltech has been Hawking’s home away from home; he spends about a month each year here (thanks to Fairchild Foundation support), carrying out research and exchanging ideas with Caltech faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students.
This talk by Professor Hawking is intended for a general audience, and is a unique opportunity to see him in person and be immersed in his mind’s world.
This event is open to the public, free of charge, and no tickets are required. Parking for Beckman Auditorium is located at 332 South Michigan Avenue, Pasadena (south of Del Mar Boulevard). For further information, call the Caltech Ticket Office at (626) 395-4652.
