An Evening With Stephen Hawking: Tickets for Royal Albert Hall on sale now

Stephen Hawking is probably the most famous scientist in the world, but late last year he retired from his post as Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University due to ill health. Chances to pick his brilliant mind are proving increasingly rare as the physicist approaches his 69th birthday, and news of a date at London Royal Albert Hall will doubtless be a tremendously illuminating evening.

Stephen Hawking tickets are on sale now for the Brief History Of Time author's lecture on October 20th 2010, and the esteemed professor will discuss his thought-provoking book The Grand Design with Professor Jim Al-Khalili. A copy of the book is included in the price of the ticket and can be collected on the night.
