Dear World As you may be aware, we recently restarted the Large Hadron Collider following the magnet incident last year. Our highly-trained scientists today started accelerating protons again and we are pleased to announce that we have started making collisions . However, we regret to report that there's been a slight mishap. Unfortunately, it appears that a leftover crumb from the recent Bird/Baguette/LHC...

When I saw the statement repeated online that theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking of the University of Cambridge would be dead by now if he lived in the U.K. and had to depend on the National Health Service (he, of course, is alive and working in the U.K., where he always has), I reflected on something I had written a dozen years ago, in one of my first published commentaries: “The increasingly...

Here's a strange little duet from Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. What a concept: "...a morning filled with the rising of 400 billion suns...” Doesn’t solve the jobless recovery or stop oil from peaking but gives such challenges a context. From melodysheep via YouTube

In urging us to disbelieve the facts about global warming ("Beware the climate change alarmists," Nov. 10) Dennis Byrne insinuates that the scientific ideas of "European smarties" are not to be trusted. Does he mean European smarties like Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Louis Pasteur, Isaac Newton, Galileo and Copernicus?

It’s been a couple of weeks since the University of Cambridge announced that the successor to Stephen Hawking as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics would be Michael Green, who is best known for his work on string theory.

The utterly pointless Peaches Geldof has just given me yet another reason to hate celebrity culture: You know what I'm intrigued by? Like, space and wormholes and Stephen Hawking's theories and Richard Dawkins's theories. I’ve always been really interested in quantum physics, and how we came to be and why. Which is how I guess I got involved in spirituality and stuff, and the religious...

As we recently noted, Stephen Hawking has stepped down from the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge. The chair didn’t stay empty for long. It has been announced that Michael Green will become the new Lucasian Professor. Green is one of the pioneers of string theory, and is already at Cambridge. I’m not sure he even switches [...]

One of the co-founder of string theory, Michael Green has been slated to replace Stephen Hawking as Cambridge's Lucasian Professor. Green, who works in the same department as Hawking, played a major role in developing a form of string theory that describes all of the different types of particles in the universe and how they interact with each other.
