The world has lost another intellect who has shown the world the power of modern physics.<\/p>\n
Yes, you heard it right! World\u2019s renowned physicist and scientist Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) passed away at the age of 76 at his home in Cambridge, England on March 14, 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years,\u201d says Hawking\u2019s family recalling their dear one.<\/p>\n
Fighting physical disabilities, having remained bound to a wheelchair for decades and communicating through a digital device, Hawking gave this world quite a significant number of contributions, which in fact formed the base for many researchers across the world.<\/p>\n
Though Hawking never turned back in his excellence in education, he had to stop for a while when he was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disease called Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease at the age of 21 at the time of pursuing his studies in physics at the University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n
However, that couldn\u2019t stop his thought process as he bounced back to develop benchmark theories that reshaped the research in modern physics.<\/p>\n
Hawking’s theory on argument that the universe began as a singularity drew amazing response from the global scientific community which drove him for intense research on the concept of black hole and developed a new phenomenon called \u2018Hawking Radiation\u2019.<\/p>\n
A Brief History of Time<\/em> is one of the popular books by Stephen Hawking that is a combination of cosmology and physics, among various other scientific theories, studies and predictions he made in his lifetime.<\/p>\n “I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster such as sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or other dangers. I think the human race has no future if it doesn’t go into space. I therefore want to encourage public interest in space,” reads a statement by Hawking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world has lost another intellect who has shown the world the power of modern physics.…<\/span><\/p>\n
