Stephen Hawking
by Josh Staiger
Stephen Hawking is badass. His books just moved up quite a few slots on the list of things I am meaning to read but haven't gotten around to yet.
So I went and saw his lecture yeserday at Severance. It was amazing. First of all it turns out that my littl $7 student ticket was much better than I thought it was. I was sat in the second row, literally right behind president Hundert! It seemed like quite a few times, Hawking was looking right at me! Secondly, the lecture was fantastic. I've always heard that Hawking does a great job of putting very complex concepts into words that are easy to understand and this lecture easily showed me that. Along with talking about incredibly cool concepts like the brane, Hawking's style, presentation and Humor has thorougly convinced me that he is an awesome guy. I'm in awe.
Here's to you Stephen.
