Big Bang
What happens when one black hole meets another? Professor Kip Thorne
shows us how to eavesdrop on these cosmic events by watching for
telltale gravitational waves.

This issue of Plus is a special, marking the occasion of Stephen Hawking's
60th birthday. Plus attended his
Birthday Conference in
Cambridge, where
we interviewed some of the world's most influential mathematicians and
physicists.
