Stephen Hawking is to hitch a ride on Zero Gravity Corps Boeing 727 on April 16th. The flight which will consist of about 15 parabolas creates a zero gravity environment for about 25 seconds each ascent/descent cycle and has been organized by game developer Richard Garriott, creator of the “Ultima” series.

The specially kitted out plane also has the nickname “Vomit Comet” for pretty obvious reasons.
