Thomas Hertog, cosmologist at KULeuven, was the guest of the RTL info Signatures this Wednesday. He told a tasty anecdote regarding Stephen Hawking’s visit to Bousval, in Walloon Brabant.
No, this is not an episode of The Big Bang Theory but of the real life of Thomas Hertog. He is one of the greatest scientists in the world and he is Belgian. This cosmologist, who wrote a book on “the origin of time” collaborated with the famous Stephen Hawking. When our journalist asks if the scientist came to our country, Thomas Hertog answers in the affirmative: “he came several times“.
Brussels? No, Bousval in Walloon Brabant, that’s where the cosmologist lives. The English physicist came several times, but once was very special. The Brabançon says: “It wasn’t always easy, once it came following a big storm. We live in a farm, a little on a hill and there was no access, his taxi might not arrive.“So we had to find a solution.”We had to call the farmer who brought Hawking with his tractor to the house, which he liked“, he recalls.
