My Favorite Scientist: Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest scientists, impressed the world with both his cosmological theories and strong will.Born in 1942, he studied physics at Oxford and Cambridge but was diagnosed with ALS at 21, which left him almost paralyzed.However, he never gave up.
Hawking developed new ideas about black holes and wrote A Brief History of Time, a bestseller worldwide.Even when he lost the ability to speak, he used a device to continue sharing his wisdom.His words “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet ...be curious.” at the 2012 Olympics still inspire us to stay curious.To me, he is a hero who turned physical limits into a journey of the mind.
