Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Born 8 January 1942 in Oxford, Stephen Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA, was a theoretical astrophysicist. In his lifetime he did world-recognized work on black holes, theoretical cosmology, and quantum gravity. The ability to do most of this work entirely in his head led him to be generally recognized as the most brilliant scientist since Albert Einstein. The reason this is necessary is due to his having had what is thought to be ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), or Lou Gehrig's disease, a degenerative neural disorder that left him almost paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, "speaking" through a specially-designed computer (the voice of which is also very well-known). (He was also rather famous for his affliction, as well: if it is ALS, it would be the most protracted case ever recorded -- it hadn't progressed the way ALS normally does, which stymied a definitive diagnosis.) |
