Stephen William Hawking is one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein. • He was born on 8 January 1942 and was diagnosed with ALS, a form of Motor Neurons Disease, after his 21st birthday. • In spite of being wheelchair bound and dependent on a computerized voice system for communication Stephen Hawking continues to combine family life with his research into theoretical physics. • Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. He was researcher in Cosmology at Oxford Institute of Astronomy. • One of his great Scientific development is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science. • Professor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees. • He wrote many books, one of them being “A Brief History of Time” to help non-scientists understand fundamental questions of physics and our existence: Where did the Universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Stephen Hawking
