Today, the world of science has lost one of the most famous modern-day scientists, Stephen Hawkings. He spent most of his life in a wheelchair, as a result of ALS syndrome, but was responsible for how physicists today conceive the universe. From an early age, his talent and the indisputable ability to conceive the universe and to break it down into numbers emerged. His illness failed to surpass the Hawkings’ brain, rather, it turned to a generator of his work by giving the message that despite the weaknesses, talent emerges.

Not only as a physicist, but also in many other areas Hawkings has contributed to orienting children and young people to science, through television shows, or children’s books. Hawkings used the science and principles of the universe to expound the human relationship that is created between men. His principle, which should be the principle of any scientist, was: “The universe is empty unless your beloved people are in it.”

Nobel laureate Hawkings has contributed throughout his life in trying to explain many physical theories such as black holes, the connection between physical time and space, the explanation of the beginning of the universe and many others. He was born in 1942 and has often faced death during his lifetime, but he has succeeded thanks to the love of his wife and children. The family was the inspiration for his work, so in his biography and his wife’s’ Jane, Hawkings dedicated all of his work to the family.
