“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.” (Stephen Hawking)

Stephen Hawking was a renowned theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who made groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the universe. He is best known for his work on black holes and the theory of relativity. He was diagnosed with a form of motor neuron disease (also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) at the age of 21, which gradually paralyzed him over the course of his life. Despite his physical limitations, he continued to work and make major contributions to science through the use of assistive technology, such as a speech-generating device. Hawking passed away on March 14, 2018, at the age of 76.

In addition to his work on black holes and the theory of relativity, Stephen Hawking made significant contributions to the field of cosmology, particularly in the areas of the Big Bang theory and the origin of the universe. He proposed that black holes emit radiation, now known as Hawking radiation, which helped to reconcile the laws of quantum mechanics with the laws of general relativity. He also wrote several popular science books, including “A Brief History of Time,” which has sold millions of copies worldwide and helped to make complex scientific concepts accessible to a general audience.

Hawking’s life was not only filled with scientific achievements but also personal miseries. He was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21, and his condition gradually worsened, leaving him almost completely paralyzed and reliant on a wheelchair and a computerized speech-generating device to communicate. Despite his physical limitations, he continued to work and make groundbreaking contributions to science until his death in 2018 at the age of 76. He also faced a lot of personal struggles, including his divorce from his first wife, Jane, and the death of his children.
