These “few years” however, turned out to be more than expected.

The disease, as doctors initially told him, would kill Hawking in only a few years. His latest work, known as “A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation” consists of how the world we know will end in a great ball of fire, ceasing existence for the human race.ĭuring his lifetime, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS in 1963, when he was only twenty-one years old. One of his best works was “A Brief History of Time” which has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.

Hawking was not only a theoretical physicist, but also a best-selling author, a cosmologist, mathematician, astronomer and was the director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology. In his published papers he was known as proving the many worlds interpretation and quantum mechanics. His biggest discovery was with physicist Roger Penrose, as Hawking merged Einstein’s theory of relativity with quantum theory to produce the speculation that space and time would begin with the big bang and end with black holes. During these times Hawking had overcame the motor neurone disease by writing discoveries shedding light on unfound knowledge of the universe. Stephen Hawking, known for his brilliance as an English theoretical physicist, has died at age 76 by the disease known as ALS, a disease he had willfully combatted for years.

Hawking, whose brilliant mind ranged across time and space though his body was paralyzed by disease, has died, a family spokesman said early Wednesday, March 14, 2018.(AP Photo/Markus Schreiber, File) FILE – In this Wednesday, Jfile photo Professor Stephen Hawking smiles during a news conference at the University of Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany.
