Stephen Hawking, theoretical physicist and cosmologist, is remarkable in many ways. Despite challenging physical impairments, he has contributed hugely to he world of science.
Hawking suffers from a type of motor neuron disease that has left him almost completely Paralyzed. This did not stop him from working on the subject of black holes and providing theories for their behavior, including the idea that they emit radiation.
Hawking believed black holes to be celestial death traps that swallowed up all energy. However, he determined there was room for this phenomenon, through the merging of quantum theory, general relativity and thermodynamics, distilling it all into one path breaking formula in 1974.
Hawking wanted to write a book about the mysteries of the universe that would connect with the public. This task seemed impossible after he lost the abilities to write and speak. But Hawking did not give up, and his vision was finally realized when finally realized when his ‘A Brief History of Time’ became a best-seller.
