‘Quiet people have the loudest minds.’- Stephen Hawking
Stephen William Hawking, the man who made us believe that there is a universe beyond our imagination, that stars don’t merely twinkle, they radiate secrecy. Bound to his wheelchair he had explored the galaxies by the righteousness of his mind.

He was born on 8th January 1942, 300 years after the death of Galileo Galilei. He has authored famous books like The Brief History of Time, The Universe In A Nutshell, Theory Of Everything (autobiography), and many more.
The ground breaking theorems on gravitational forces, theoretical predictions that black holes emit radiation(Hawking Radiation), quantum mechanism, multiuniverse theory, all these are few of his extraordinary works that took him steps closer to his questions ’Who made us? Who live on other planets?’ He was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neuron disease that led to his paralysis of body but the undying spirit in him continued to explore the mysteries of universe and science.
In 2007, Stephen Hawking fulfilled a lifelong dream, the dream to experience ‘weightlessness’ in microgravity atmosphere, he cherished the event as, ‘True freedom..I was superman for those few minutes’. He has now returned to where he truly belongs, the world of stars, transcending human reach, in a space where we hope he gets all the answers he dedicated his life looking for.
