As part of Ideas at the House, in partnership with Cisco and the University of New South Wales, physicist, cosmologist and generally amazing human Stephen Hawking will be giving his first ever lecture in Australia.

Except he won’t actually be in Australia. Professor Hawking will be presenting from the University of Cambridge, via “the very latest in collaboration technology”. Will he be a hologram? Will he be talking through his daughter Lucy Hawking (who will actually be live onstage)? Will the entire presentation be a telepathic one? We can only imagine what the very latest in collaboration technology is, but if it involves Stephen Hawking it must be exciting.

Arguably one of the greatest and most inspiring scientists of our time,An Evening With Stephen Hawkingis certain to delight and intrigue his audience. This unique opportunity to hear his story in his own words is not to be missed by any science enthusiast.

Update: a second show has now been announced.
