Happy 68th Birthday - Stephen Hawking

From Miss Celania at Neatorama:
Happy Birthday, Stephen Hawking!
While people all over the world are marking the 75th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley, we would like to give a big shout out to a treasure who is still with us -- University of Cambridge professor emeritus Stephen Hawking, who turns 68 years old today.

Born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo�s death, Hawking is a theoretical physicist who is regarded as one of the most intelligent men alive. He has published numerous papers and books on the nature and origin of the universe, the best known being A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes. Hawking also had a miniseries on PBS in 1997, Stephen Hawking�s Universe, as well as a long list of TV and movie appearances. He is renowned for making difficult concepts comprehensible to the average reader or viewer.
Very cool! And lest we forget, Dr. hawking also has quite the career as a rap artist -- check out MC Hawking for some dope beats! Posted by DaveH at January 8, 2010 11:31 AM
