Celebration of Stephen Hawkings
I was very honoured to be invited by the Chairman of the trustees of the Science Museum to a reception to celebrate the 70th birthday of Professor Stephen Hawkin. Held in the Space Exploration gallery of the museum this was a very special event. The Museum has created a new exhibit area to celebrate the Professors achievement and I do recommend a visit if you are in the area. The Director, Ian Batchford, welcomed the guests and gave a short speech about Hawkins. Unfortunately the Professor has been ill for a couple of weeks and was unable to attend. However one of his daughters, Lucy, was present and she unveiled a gift from the Science Museum. The gift is a table lamp made of narrow gauge fluorescent light tubing made into the shape of a Hawkins radiation black hole. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr Douglas Gurr then proposed the birthday toast. It was a delight to be there and to be able to view the exhibits in the area without many tourists!!
