Stephen Hawking to give rare public lecture!

This is so cool, Stephen Hawking will be giving a public lecture in April, from the article:

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking returns to Aggieland next month to present a rare public lecture, and officials in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Texas A&M University encourage Brazos Valley residents and members of the campus community to take advantage of a major opportunity to experience one of the most brilliant scientific minds of all time.Hawking, the world-renowned Cambridge University theoretical physicist famous for his theories on black holes and best-selling books about the universe, will detail more than 35 years of breakthrough research on black holes - which aren't as black as previously thought - in his lecture, "Out of a Black Hole," scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday (April 5) in Rudder Auditorium on the Texas A&M campus.

I love that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation with Data and Stephen Hawking, it is so fun to see that scene! Here is a link to the lecture.
