Stephen Hawking's Voice Is Being Broadcast Into Space
"The voice of legendary physicist Stephen Hawking is to be broadcast into space
after his memorial service on Friday, according to British media outlets."
"Specifically, it will be directed toward the nearest black hole. Hawking, who died in March, revolutionized the scientific understanding of black holes — and won the hearts of people across the world with his tireless scientific advocacy."
"Hawking is being interred at Westminster Abbey on Friday, with a thousand members of the public (selected through a lottery system) present for the ceremony. The physicist's remains will be placed between those of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin."
"His voice will be broadcast into space after the service honoring his life."
"Hawking's words 'have been set to an original score by composer Vangelis, most famous for his Chariots of Fire film theme,' the BBC reports."
