WORLDWIDE RIGHTS *NO UK PAPERS OR WEB**
Professor Stephen Hawking pictured going to the cinema in Cambridge on Wednesday afternoon (Jan 4th) to watch Star Wars as a Birthday treat.
World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking turns 75 this Sunday.
Professor Hawking was spotted attending the 3pm showing of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story at the Light Cinema near his home in Cambridge yesterday afternoon (Wed).
The Cambridge University professor, who will celebrate his extraordinary milestone birthday on Sunday (Jan 8) was seen queuing for a ticket with friends, then heading in to watch the new blockbuster.
He watched the entire film, sitting in his wheelchair in the middle aisle.
Hawking would have recognised actress Felicity Jones, who plays the main character Jyn Erso, and also starred as Stephen's first wife Jane in the movie, The Theory of Everything, which told the story of his life.

The formula for England World Cup success, according to Professor Stephen Hawking
Professor Stephen Hawking is best known for helping to solve the mysteries of the universe.
But now one of Britain's greatest scientific minds has turned attention to an even greater riddle: how can England win the World Cup?
The physics genius undertook a month-long study to pinpoint the ideal conditions for World Cup success, analysing England's World Cup performances in their 45 finals games since 1966, from shirt colour to stadium altitude and air temperature.
The resulting scientific model was then used to help predict the probability of England winning key matches in Brazil this summer - and unfortunately it does not bode well for Roy Hodgson's men.
For the team to have the best chance of winning, Prof Hawking found they ideally need to play in a temperate climate.

Peter Higgs
Peter Higgs is a British theoretical physicist, Nobel Prize laureate and emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh.
He is best known for his 1960s proposal of broken symmetry in electroweak theory, explaining the origin of mass of elementary particles in general and of the W and Z bosons in particular. This so-called Higgs mechanism, which was proposed by several physicists besides Higgs at about the same time, predicts the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson (which was often described as 'the most sought-after particle in modern physics'). CERN announced on 4 July 2012 that they had experimentally established the existence of a Higgs-like boson, but further work is needed to analyse its properties and see if it has the properties expected from the Standard Model Higgs boson. On 14 March 2013, the newly discovered particle was tentatively confirmed to be + parity and zero spin, two fundamental criteria of a Higgs boson, making it the first known fundamental scalar particle to be discovered in nature (although previously, composite scalars such as the K* had been observed over half a century prior). The Higgs mechanism is generally accepted as an important ingredient in the Standard Model of particle physics, without which certain particles would have no mass.

CERN announced on 4 July 2012 that they had experimentally established the existence of a Higgs-like boson, but further work is needed to analyse its properties and see if it has the properties expected from the Standard Model Higgs boson. On 14 March 2013, the newly discovered particle was tentatively confirmed to be + parity and zero spin, two fundamental criteria of a Higgs boson, making it the first known fundamental scalar particle to be discovered in nature (although previously, composite scalars such as the K* had been observed over half a century prior). The Higgs mechanism is generally accepted as an important ingredient in the Standard Model of particle physics, without which certain particles would have no mass.

Peter Higgs
Peter Higgs is a British theoretical physicist, Nobel Prize laureate and emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh.
He is best known for his 1960s proposal of broken symmetry in electroweak theory, explaining the origin of mass of elementary particles in general and of the W and Z bosons in particular. This so-called Higgs mechanism, which was proposed by several physicists besides Higgs at about the same time, predicts the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson (which was often described as 'the most sought-after particle in modern physics'). CERN announced on 4 July 2012 that they had experimentally established the existence of a Higgs-like boson, but further work is needed to analyse its properties and see if it has the properties expected from the Standard Model Higgs boson. On 14 March 2013, the newly discovered particle was tentatively confirmed to be + parity and zero spin, two fundamental criteria of a Higgs boson, making it the first known fundamental scalar particle to be discovered in nature (although previously, composite scalars such as the K* had been observed over half a century prior).

CERN press conference in Geneva, Switzerland - 04 Jul 2012
Francois Englert (born 1932, left) and Peter Higgs (born 1929, right), Belgian and British theoretical physicists, at the Higgs boson discovery announcement, 4th July 2012, at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory). Data collected by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS (a torodial LHC apparatus) experiments at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN have shown a new particle at around 125 giga electron volts (GeV). Further analysis will determine if the particle is the long sought for Higgs boson, a fundamental particle that is thought to give other particles mass. Peter Higgs predicted its existence in 1964. Englert, along with Higgs and Robert Brout, explained how the Higgs field confers mass on other particles through their interaction with it. This is known as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism.
