The greatest mind.


                   Stephen Hawking is a world-renowned British theoretical physicist, known for his contributions to the fields of cosmology, general relativity and quantum gravity, especially in the context of black holes. In the 1960s and 1970s, he worked on ground-breaking theorems regarding singularities within the framework of general relativity, and made the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation (known today as Hawking radiation). He has also published several works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general, including the runaway bestseller “A Brief History of Time”, and has come to be thought of as one of the greatest minds in physics since Albert Einstein. In his own words: “My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all”.



                I idolise Stephen Hawking due to his unstoppable need to find the truth about our universe, how we were created and how we exist, the right way, which was through science. I have always admired him as a great man of science, though his personal social skills were never the best. To me that didn't matter because he slingshot the world forward in science way beyond what anyone of his time could've even have imagined. I was extremely devastated when he passed away recently, but i imagine someone that important, that smart, would've left something interesting behind. Hopefully we get to find out about it in this lifetime.






RIP Stephen Hawking 1942-2018
