Tan brillante y reconocido como las estrellas del cosmos que investigó por décadas, Stephen Hawking quedará en la memoria de varias generaciones por sus aportes al conocimiento del universo y los hoyos negros.

Hawking nació el 8 de enero de 1942 y estudió Física en la Universidad de Oxford, donde fue becado.

Los síntomas de su enfermedad motoneuronal, relacionada con la esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (un padecimiento que afecta a las neuronas motoras que van degenerando progresivamente), fueron apareciendo luego de golpearse la cabeza al caerse por una gradas en la Universidad de Cambridge.
