Stephen Hawking was one of the greatest scientists of the century.

He was a
very unique person. He proposed and proved many theories. He explained
the theory of the black hole. He wrote a book called ‘The Brief History of
Time’ in which he explained about the black hole. He also described the
concepts of relativity and big-bang theory in this book.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford on January 8, 1942. He was born in a

hospital like me or you. Interestingly his birthday just happened to be on the
300th anniversary of the death of Galileo He was born during the Second
World War. It was believed that Germany would attack Britain at any time. At
that time, Oxford was considered a safe place, so Stephen Hawking’s parents
moved to Oxford.

By inspired of his math teacher, he decided to study math in the university.

At that time, his family wanted him to apply to medicine; however, it was
impossible to study in math at Oxford at that time, he changes to physics and
chemistry.

Stephen Hawking, at the age of 21, was diagnosed with a motor neuron
disease, it is a dangerous neurological disease, due to which the body gets
paralysed, sometimes he used to fall suddenly while walking, or used to stop
completely while speaking. He became very clumsy. However, he continued
to ignore all these things before 1963 and did not tell anyone about it.

When his father saw his condition in 1963, he took him to the doctor, Doctors
said that Stephen Hawking would only be able to stay alive for the next two
years, after that he had to move about in a wheelchair

In his research, he found that if this universe started with the Big Bang, then
it would end with the Big Bang. He also explained Albert Einstein's theory of
relativity, and he gave us the concept of Hawking Radiation for Black Holes

Stephen Hawking died on 14 March 2018 at his home. A man whose body
didn’t support him achieved all so much that he became an inspiration for
the next generations
