Hawking Rethinks Origin of the Universe In two, rare public appearances, at a moment of revolutionary change, world-renowned cosmologist Dr. Stephen Hawking presents a popular lecture entitled "New Perspectives on The Origin of the Universe" at the Center for Performing Arts in San Jose on Monday, November 7th, and at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, Thursday, November 10th, 2005. Both events begin at 8pm. San Jose tickets are available through Ticketmaster on line, charge by phone (408) 998-TIXS, Ticketmaster outlets and Flint Center Box Office in Cupertino. Paramount Theatre in Oakland tickets are currently on sale and available through TicketMaster online or at 510-625-TIXS. Professor Hawking holds the prestigious Lucasian chair at Cambridge University, once held by Sir Isaac Newton. Hawking is one of the early developers of the theory of black holes and author of the international best-selling book A Brief History of Time. Cosmology is making a paradigm-shift in thinking about the formation of stars, galaxies, black holes and, indeed, about the origin of the universe itself. Seventy percent of the universe is a strange 'dark energy'. The cornerstone theory of gravity itself must be reconsidered. NASA's Swift satellite, in just the last few months, has revealed startling new details of black hole formation. The Swift observations challenge us to consider a dramatically different view one that entails multiple explosive outbursts not just a single bang, as previously thought. Hawking at the forefront of research on both black holes and the origins of the universe presents for us his working hypotheses.
