Stephen Hawking, a renowned theoretical physicist who is one of the world's most outstanding minds, died Wednesday morning at the age of 76 and left safely at his home in Cambridge, his family said.
We are deeply saddened today to leave our dear father," said his sons Lucy, Robert and Tim about the incident. "He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man, as his works and effects will live for many years." Something big if not a house for the people we love 'we will always miss'.
Hawking often referred to his birth as the 300th anniversary of the departure of Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. His death today marks the 139th anniversary of the birth of theoretical physicist Albert Einstein and the International Day of Mathematical Symbol I or Bai.
Stephen Hawking spent most of his life in a wheelchair, unable to speak or move after he was diagnosed with ALS, or motor neuron disease at the age of 21. With his sharp intelligence he was able to change the way people understand the universe, through his compelling theory that radiation comes from black holes
While most of his colleagues in this field of science did not see the public appearance, but Hawking has achieved a rare case of fame similar to the status of "rock stars", thanks to his ability to explain his theories and his views on the future of the universe, philosophy, politics and even astronomers, as He is considered one of the best-selling and popular writers and acclaimed scientists, and has earned a special place in the media and television programs.
Professor Hocking left behind a great legacy after many of the challenges he faced with each achievement. After being diagnosed with the disease for the first time, doctors gave him only two years to live, but he challenged that bleak prediction for decades and continued to work until then.
He was a prolific physicist and wrote many books, but not all of them received the same fame he had in his book "A Brief History of Time", selling more than 10 million copies after its publication in 1988.
As an affirmation of his fame, his biography was written from his childhood to his school years, his fame and his marriage, and his portrayal of Holoddy's "The Theory of Everything" in 2014, and he has received impressive accolades and numerous awards.
Until his death, Hawking was an active member of Cambridge University's scientific community. He still has an office in the Department of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. During his career he has received numerous awards and honors from several countries around the world, and at least dozens of honorary degrees for his efforts and work. .
During his life he continued to combine his family life with his research in theoretical physics, along with his travels and lectures, as stated in his autobiography, and he still hoped to stay one day in outer space. Sir Richard Branson gave him a seat on the Virgin Galactic.
"Stephen Hawking's boldness, perseverance, rare abilities, and humor have inspired people all over the world."
