Living more than 50 years longer than expected, Stephen Hawking will not only be remembered for influencing scientific knowledge, but also for the person he was. In this video take a brief trip through time and learn a little more about one of the greatest minds in human history.
Learn about his schooling life, his research, books, public image, and the disease he battled for more than five decades: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a subtype of motor neuron disease.

From Wikipedia:
Stephen William Hawking was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author, and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
