Hawking Lectures

There is a collection of Stephen Hawking's lectures online, at http://www.hawking.org.uk/lectures/lindex.html.

I just read the first one, and it's quite good. Hawking is unusually gifted at putting hard physics concepts into intelligible language.

The site makes it seem as though you'll have to read PDF or Postscript files, but the HTML is available, too. Just click the titles of the respective lectures.

Two complaints: the site uses frames, and there are an awful lot of incorrectly added commas, at least in the first lecture. These annoyances do not overly detract from the quality of the content, though.

Thanks for the link, JoshuaE!
