StephenHawking straddled science & fiction reflecting on our colliding cosmos, thought and an actual collision RIP
‘Stephen Hawking,’ John whispers, surprising me. The usually
sardonic drawl contains a hint of awe. The frail man seems to nod again,
at us eyes still twinkling, clearly enjoying our clowning.
“It has
helped me. Maybe It can help you prove how black holes lose their primal energy
and ‘disappear’. Maybe it can show you how they reveal their secrets, as It has
released Its secrets to me,” I tell him. "And then you can get your Nobel after
all.”
“Your
Nobel might be just this Hole away,” I tease. The most famous scientist in the
world has not been awarded a Nobel Prize, despite the fact that more than five generations
of the world’s scientists have been obsessed by his thoughts. It was felt that
it was not a matter of if, but when. It was a matter of some restlessness in
the scholarly world that the man dubbed the World’s Greatest Scientist had not
received a Nobel because of insubstantial proof of his theory, though the Nobel
Committee has defended some of its more controversial awards. A dreamer myself,
and touched by how he has defied the odds for more than fifty years with ALS
(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) for which at 21 he was given only five years to

live with life-challenging conditions, and in the same brief Space of Time ...

StephenHawking straddled science & fiction reflecting on our colliding cosmos, thought and an actual collision RIP
...You might say I was,
as he is, motor-challenged myself; or a co-incidence of space and time or
a confluence of coincidences, or a conspiration of global forces that
culminated in my headlong collision with Stephen Hawking.
As brief in history as
it was in current as well as in the vast time scale of universal occurrences,
it remains indelibly impressed on memory as it must be on the memory of the
world because of its momentous nature, on a beautiful day in spring in the fork
in the part between the Cambridge Colleges and the River Cam...
****
I become aware that someone is looking at us. I turn. My
attention is drawn to the twinkle in his eyes, keenly observing our antics, as
a scientist might. His face twitches and he nods, I think. It is the twinkle
that holds my attention before I notice that the face belongs to a frail man in
a wheelchair. I smile embarrassingly, nod back, and turn and whisper to John
that we are being watched. He looks in the direction of my nod.
‘Stephen Hawking,’ John whispers, surprising me. The usually
sardonic drawl contains a hint of awe. The frail man seems to nod again,
at us eyes still twinkling, clearly enjoying our clowning.
I had been teasing John, trying to deflect his growing
exasperation at my hopeless inability to balance on the bicycle from which I
had already taken several tumbles. The bikes - one of the amenities of the
Nuffield Foundation Press Fellowship that brought us with three other
journalists to Wolfson College, Cambridge - had been presented to us with much
fanfare as a means to get around the sprawling campus and its surroundings
which was the size of my city, Port-of-Spain, times ten.
I continue ribbing John, which exasperates him even more. Trying
to lighten his mood, I draw his attention to the swans regally commanding the
River Cam. He is easily distracted.
“They are protected, you know,” he says.
“John knows everything,” I taunt him, mounting the bike again as
he reaches to poke me. I try to cycle out of his reach. He follows on his bike.
That’s
when I almost collide head long onto the lap of Stephen Hawking, staring
directly into those twinkling eyes with its power to interpret twinkling stars
in the universe. I am face to face with the man who was making science fiction
real. He is on one of what I would come to recognize as his regular
afternoon strolls on The Backs, in the foreground of the River Cam.
*****
View from the Cosmos
This Hole
inside me, has become larger than life, so large that it is no longer inside
me, but I am inside It. It is expanding to cuddle the world on which It let me
lose. Into an infinitude of space, encompassing the planet, the stars, the universe,
and beyond, still expanding.
I fall
into the dark depths of sleep. ‘Hawking radiation’ is emanating light rays
around me and I am inviting him to explore inside me.
“What you
are trying to detect thousands of light years away, is right here inside me,” I
taunt him ... The twinkle in his eyes warm me with confidence.
....Now Stephen
Hawking and I are staring at this hole inside me.
“It has
helped me. Maybe It can help you prove how black holes lose their primal energy
and ‘disappear’. Maybe it can show you how they reveal their secrets, as It has
released Its secrets to me,” I tell him. "And then you can get your Nobel after
all.”
A range
of experiences and incidents that I thought random and unconnected floated out
and connect themselves, like a fast paced slideshow, linking one episode to the
other. I feel as if I am piecing together the moments of my life and
simultaneously presenting it to Hawking for his expert opinion on this my
theory of the human as a microcosmos, an exact replica of the vast universes
that were his domain of curiosity, and mine.
“Your
Nobel might be just this Hole away,” I tease. The most famous scientist in the
world has not been awarded a Nobel Prize, despite the fact that more than five generations
of the world’s scientists have been obsessed by his thoughts. It was felt that
it was not a matter of if, but when. It was a matter of some restlessness in
