An heir to Isaac Newton's position as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, Mr. Hawking will give his annual talk at CalTech. Those interested in attending will want to arrive very early. There will also be a video feed to a nearby hall and an audio feed outside the auditorium.

Technically, I guess his voice synth will be doing the speaking, won’t it? Kinda like what the TOTUS does for Barry.

Whether you believe that a black hole is a gravitational singularity or an electro-magnetic phenomenon in a local plasma field, you will want to attend this talk by this cultural icon and rock star of theoretical physics.

Betcha his is the updated model that has eliminated the need for so many "um, hmm, uh" and time wasting phrases such as "let me be clear."

“...Stephen Hawking to Speak...”

False advertising.

I am certain there will be no telepromters on stage with Hawking. He doesn’t hesitate to take questions and he doesn’t obsfucate with a blizzard of words when things get tough. Nor does he control the composition of his audience. However, his prepared “remarks” will have been created in advance.

“meh, just another darwinist athiest.”

Yeah, nothing interesting here. Just stuff like stunningly thrilling thoughts, hypotheses, observations and proofs on the known outer limits of the infinite glory of G-d’s creation.

But hey, the guy doesn’t even go to your Church, right? He must be evil, or at least a fool.

Humor so black, punchlines so dense, that even laughter can't escape...
