PLEASE NOTE: Admission is free, and no tickets are required. There will be at least 500 seats available to guests without tickets in Beckman Auditorium, and 370 overflow seats in Ramo Auditorium, on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, the audio portion of Dr. Hawking's presentation will be broadcast outside Beckman Auditorium.

Dr. Hawking will explain that black holes aren't as black as they are painted. Things can get out of a black hole to the outside and, possibly, on to another universe.

This talk by Professor Hawking is intended for a general audience.

Stephen Hawking holds the Lucasian Professorship at Cambridge University (the professorship once held by Sir Isaac Newton) and is the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at Caltech. For the past 45 years he has been a world leader in research on black holes, the birth of the universe, and the nature of space, time, and gravity.
