Graham Farmelo's authorised biography of Stephen Hawking has just been published. The title of this Oxford Mathematics Roger Penrose Public Lecture is the same as the one that Hawking chose for his Lucasian Inaugural Lecture in April 1980. Graham will look at the genesis of his presentation, the splash it made and how views on the subject changed in later decades.
