Voiceover Hawking's physics genius into space

The British physicist and astronomer has spent his life teaching the world about space, so scientists decided to take a part of his being - voice - into the universe , approach the stars.

When Hawking's ashes were buried in the tomb of Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton during a memorial that took place yesterday, June 15 in Westminster Abbey, England, an antenna in Spain will shoot his voice. toward a black hole in space.

in March last year at his home in Cambridge, England, after years of struggling with muscular atrophy, he was 76 years old. He laid the foundation for cosmology, the father of black hole theory, emitted famous () radiation.

Greek composer Vangelis decided to add the English royal king's voice to a piece of his music. Professor Hawking's family explained, the move to send a message of peace and hope to the world.

Mark McCaughrean, a senior scientific and discovery adviser at the European Aerospace Agency (ESA), said the six-and-a-half-minute piece of music contained Hawking's voice overs. According to Mr. McCaughrean, the song has a quiet melody, which depicts Earth as the common home of humankind that needs to be cherished and protected.

Scientists planned to use Cebreros antennas in Spain to shoot the music containing Hawking's voice toward 1A 0620-00, the closest black hole ever known, 3,500 light-years from Earth. The process is expected to take about 35 minutes.

McCaughrean explained that the recording of the score will be locked away outside the black hole. But, because the black holes do not permanently exist and evaporate after billions and billions of years through Hawking radiation emission (physical phenomena named after the British genius), Hawking's voice eventually also dissipate in space with them.

Hawking's family loved the idea.

After the ceremony of the burial of the physical king, more than 1,000 people registered to attend the ceremony with the relatives and guests of the Hawking family will be able to listen to the special song mentioned above at the ceremony of gratitude. Each person present will also receive a CD recording of this music. The CD is expected to be widely released to the public on a selected date later.
