# Get Ready For a Week-Long AMA With Stephen Hawking

![](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/GettyImages-150940573.0.jpg>)

- The AMA starts on Monday, July 27th at 8AM ET and runs through Tuesday, August 4th and it's taking place on r/science.
- More recently, Hawking has thrown his weight behind the Breakthrough Listen effort to search for sentient alien life, although he believes that making contact might be dangerous.
- The AMA is taking a week because of Hawking's disabilities. This way he's got more time to answer questinos.
