BBC: Edge attends Stephen Hawking conference

Hawking extols joy of discovery
Professor Hawking is recovering from a broken hip
Scientific discovery may not be better than sex - but the satisfaction
lasts longer, according to Professor Stephen Hawking.
"There is nothing like the 'Eureka' moment, of discovering something
that no one knew before," he told a week-long Cambridge conference
to celebrate his 60th birthday.
"I will not compare it to sex - but it lasts longer."
Since 1979, Professor Hawking has been Lucasian Professor of
Mathematics at the UK university, a post awarded to Sir Isaac Newton
in 1669.
"It has been a glorious time to be alive and doing research in theoretical
physics," he told an audience of 200 paying guests - which included
astronomer royal, Sir Martin Rees, and Rock band U2's multi-millionaire
guitarist, The Edge.
"Our picture of the universe has changed a great deal in the past 40 years
and I am happy if I have made a small contribution.
"I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm."
Britain's longest surviving motor neurone disease sufferer, Professor
Hawking was given little more than two years to live after being diagnosed
with the crippling muscle-wasting condition at the age of 22.
He can hardly move and uses a speech synthesiser running on a portable
computer to speak and give lectures around the world.

Hmmm-I wonder if they talked about the orgasmatron.
