One of the greatest minds of this and many other generations, Stephen Hawking, is no more amongst us. He passed away yesterday at the age of 76.

We have with us this morning, Dr Rebecca Allen from Swinburne University to throw some light on the brief history of Stephen Hawking, his life, contribution, books and more.
