Today, March 14, 2018. The science community has lost one of its brightest stars. The world renowned physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76 after a long battle with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as motor neuron disease. Dr. Hawking is best known for his discovery that black holes emit radiation (called Hawking Radiation) which can be detected by special instrumentation. The immensity of his discovery has made the detailed study of black holes possible. Not only that, Hawking is also contributed different ideas on the origin of the universe, the big bang theory, time, and atheism.
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. — Stephen Hawking
My current philosophy in life is attributed to Stephen Hawking
This is a truly heartbreaking news for any man in science community, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the bereaved family. As I dedicate this post to the man himself, for Dr. Hawking is an inspiration to my studies. Reading his book, A Brief History of Time, changed the way I look on science. I realized that if a disable man can make this far, then I believe that anyone else can.
Be brave, be determined, overcome the odds! — Stephen Hawking
Also, watching the film “The Theory of Everything” directed by James Marsh is also a good way on knowing how great Stephen Hawking was.
Farewell, my hero.
Per aspera ad astra
