Late Stephen Hawking was a famous English cosmologist, a director of research at Theoretical Cosmology center at Cambridge University, an author and theoretical physicist. He achieved a lot in his life, he is very knowledgeable and has used his knowledge to benefit others around the world with his scientific findings. He done many collaborations whilst doing his scientific work, he worked with Roger Penrose on how black hole emanates radiation, known as Hawking radiation. His illness did not hold him back, at the young age of 3 he was diagnosed with degenerative motor neuron disease; however he did not let this illness hold him back from achieving his dream in the scientific field.
