Funny Side of Professor Stephen Hawking

In 1995, with their forthcoming 15th anniversary issue in mind, The Face magazine approached Professor Stephen Hawking of the University of Cambridge and asked him for a Time Travel Formula. They soon received the following response by fax. 




UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
Silver Street, Cambridge, England CB3 9EW

FAX

From: Sue Masey, Personal Assistant to Professor S W Hawking
To: Johnny Davis

Number of pages: 1 (Including this one)

Date 6 April 1995

Thank you for your recent fax. I do not have any equations for time travel. If I had, I would win the National Lottery every week.

S W Hawking

And this is his serious side, asking big questions about the universe. Enjoy.
