The Theory of Everything
15 September | 6:45pm - 9:30pm
This year saw the sad news of the passing of world-renowned physicist Professor Stephen Hawking. In a tribute to Prof. Hawking, the Royal Observatory is screening the last, and perhaps best, onscreen dramatisation of his life story. In an Oscar-winning performance Eddie Redmayne inhabits Prof. Hawking's professional and personal character to stunning effect. The performance clearly made a big impact on the man himself as he is quoted as saying: "At times, I thought he was me." After the screening Royal Observatory astronomer Dhara, Patel will look back at Professor Hawking's career and his lasting legacy in astrophysics research. This event is part of the Royal Observatory Greenwich's 'Universe Unseen' season (April - September 2018)
