How many people would have understood Newton or Darwin in their day?
The work that Stephen Hawking has done is currently not complete and not fully understood. He solved some very important questions, but it'll take some time for us to arrive at the same results from different angles.
And just like you touch on quantum theory and relativity in high school,
Organisers of Prof Stephen Hawking's memorial service have seemingly left the door open for time travellers to attend.
Those wishing to honour the theoretical physicist, who died in March aged 76, can apply via a public ballot.
Applicants need to give their birth date - which can be any day up to 31 December 2038.
Prof Hawking's foundation said the possibility of time travel had not been disproven and could not be excluded.
:rofl:
Where you live, perhaps.
Tributes have been paid to renowned physicist Prof Stephen Hawking in a Westminster Abbey memorial service.
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Hawking in a BBC drama, and astronaut Tim Peake were among those giving readings at the ceremony.
Prof Hawking died in March, aged 76, after a long battle with motor neurone disease.
His ashes are being buried alongside other great scientists like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton.

Prof Hawking's words have also been set to an original score by composer Vangelis and were to be beamed into space towards the nearest black hole after the service.
