Everything about Stephen Hawking is a source of inspiration,
the plight of genius trapped in an ailing body, the hint of a smile brightening
a face in which only a single muscle can move; the distinctively robotic voice was inviting us to share the exhilaration of discovery as his mind roams through the
strangest corners of the Universe.
Against all the difficulty , this remarkable, figure has
transcended this usual boundaries of Science. He is author of book ‘’A Brief
History of Time. Which sold ten million copies. Cameo roles in popular comedy
shows, invitations to the White house and a well-received movie about his life
have confirmed him as a celebrity. He has achieved nothing less than becoming
the most famous scientist in the world.
He was given two years to live In 1960s when he was
diagnosed with motor neuron disease. But He was still researching, writing,
travelling and regularly appearing in the news after more than fifty years. His
daughter Lucy, explaining this extraordinary drive, describes him as ‘enormously

It is a terrible irony that such a great communicator
couldn’t have a normal conversation .For interviews, the questions had to be
sent in advance. In his Cambridge office, the board was covered with equations.
Mathematics of the most rarefied kind of currency of cosmology. But Stephan
Hawking’s unique contribution to scientific research was to harness the
approaches of apparently very different specialism: most famously , he was the
first to investigate the vast realm of space using scientific techniques
devised to study the tiny particles inside atoms.
