WOWIE!!! What a great find! My thanks to our Cyber-sis, the
almost-ex-Bermudan-and-ever-curious-about-the-world-around-her, Janet, for
sharing this terrific Web site with us!
I found the Hawking Web site to be outstanding. And, while I was exploring
it, I took a "side-trip" to it's parent-site, the PBS Web site, and THAT was
also a "WOWIE-quality-site," <smiling> in my opinion.
Not only was the PBS site itself interesting, but it offered easy-access to a
HUGE variety of other sites based, like the Hawking site, upon most (if not
all) of the marvelous PBS TV programs. You could spend a WEEK exploring
amongst the exciting PBS-related sites and be entertained and educated and
STILL look forward to more of the same, 'cause there's links to more of the
same!!

THANKS AGAIN, JANET!!!

It occurs to us that Stephen Hawking's Universe is the same as
everyone else's. So why does his seem so much more fascinating? It's
doubtless due to the fact that Mr. Hawking, a theoretical physicist,
has devoted his life to "probing the space-time described by general
relativity and the singularities where it breaks down." For more on
this (anti) matter, visit the PBS site dedicated to the brilliant man
and his work. You can read about the long unsolved mysteries (such as
"Is Time Travel Possible?"), learn about history's cosmological
superstars (Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Einstein, among others), and have
all of the truly strange stuff explained. Do black holes really exist?
We like to think so. Is there such a thing as imaginary time? Our
managers suspect so. Does this lend a certain gravity to our
situation? Yes, indeedy. The site accompanies a TV series of the same
name. Check out both; they're -- how shall we say it? -- cosmic.
