At the farewell ceremony with Stephen Hawking can get time travelers

The organizers of the ceremony of the burial of the ashes of the famous physicist and science popularizer Stephen Hawking has decided to pay tribute to the interest of the scientist and provide an opportunity for visiting time travellers.

Wanting to get to the ceremony can apply on the website, and in the column "date of birth" to specify any date up to 31 December 2038.

This is a reference to the interest of Hawking to the possibility of time travel. June 29, 2009, he sent out invitations and announced his party for time travelers, specifying the exact time, but the event was held the day before — on June 28. Thus, the physicist wanted to conduct an experiment to test the possibility of the existence of this phenomenon. The party then nobody came.

The scientist believed that, according to the theory of relativity, space-time travel is possible, but the burst of radiation due to the curvature of the continuum can destroy the space. However, he was talking about the other way — use of a spacecraft capable of reaching 98% the speed of light. Once launched from Earth, the ship will develop such a speed (about 6 years), over time for people on the Board will change — for them will be the day, and for the people on Earth.

According to the representative of Fund of Stephen Hawking, the organizers can not exclude the probability of the existence of travel time travel, since the contrary is proved. Ashes of Stephen Hawking will be buried June 15 at Westminster Abbey next to the graves of other great scientists — Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton.
