FRIEDHOFFER MEETS WITH STEPHEN HAWKING

 
 

While meeting with world renowned physicist,
Professor Stephen Hawking, Lucasian Professor
of Mathematics at
Cambridge University, science
magician Bob Friedhoffer demonstrated some
fascinating card tricks. He caused one card to
"visibly" melt through another , and a card packet
to vanish from his hands, only to reappear moments
later in his mouth. Friedhoffer related this impressive
presentation of sleight of hand to: quantum theory,
time travel and cosmology.

The performance elicited a smile of delight from Hawking who might
be the world's most famous living physicist, along with the comment,

"That's why I'm not an experimental physicist.
You can never believe the evidence!"

                     CORRESPONDENCE FROM NOBEL LAUREATE RICHARD ERNST 

 

Mr. Bob Friedhoffer
Center for Advanced Study in Education
The Graduate Center
The City University of New York
365 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10016-4309

 

It was truly unforgettable to experience your performance at the Technorama in Winterthur yesterday evening. I am convinced that your mission of raising the public interest for science is a very important one. The future of mankind depends to a large extent on our proper usage of scientific and technological means. And without some public knowledge of scientific facts. and approaches there will be continuing misusage of technology. Your fascinating approach will reach a broad public from the very young ones to mature adults. I would like to thank you for your contribution to bridging the gap between science and the public.

 Best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Richard R. Ernst

Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1991
