Stephen Hawking has a message for you

Stephen Hawking’s voice has been beamed into a black hole following the internment of his ashes at Westminster Abbey in London.
The message recorded by the British physicist, which is set to music by Greek composer Vangelis, speaks about the importance of peace and hope. It was sent by the European Space Agency from an antenna at Cebreros near Madrid towards the nearest black hole. According to his daughter, Lucy Hawking, “it is a message of peace and hope, about unity and the need for us to live together in harmony on this planet”.

“This is a beautiful and symbolic gesture that creates a link between our father’s presence on this planet, his wish to go into space and his explorations of the universe in his mind.” (from  The Independent).
