Meet Stephen Hawking—the brilliant mind who explored black holes without ever leaving his chair. While most people avoided the mysteries of the universe, Hawking dove right in (mathematically, of course).
He took on questions like: What happens at the edge of a black hole?Did time have a beginning?Can the universe be explained by one theory? And he answered them with humor, grit, and equations that blew the minds of physicists everywhere.
Despite being diagnosed with ALS in his 20s and given just a few years to live, Hawking went on to become one of the most iconic scientists of our time—writing bestsellers, cracking cosmic riddles, and proving that curiosity has no limits.
His big idea? Black holes aren't entirely black—they leak energy, now famously known as Hawking radiation.
This is the story of a man who couldn't move his body, but moved the universe with his mind.
