    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Renowned theoretical physicist , who authored the best-selling book, “A Brief History of Time,'' soon will experience a brief history with weightlessness.
    Hawking, who uses a wheelchair and is almost completely paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, plans to go on a weightless flight on April 26, officials at the flight operator said Thursday.

    Insane irony.

    Having the mind to understand and explain these concepts, but having yet to experience them first hand.

    Thanks Chicagoeditor.

    Good for him that he finally gets to experience a glimpse of what he has contributed to the science and mathematical world. I hope it goes well for him.
