Summary

In 1963, Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and given two years to live. More than half a century later, Hawking had made some of the most significant contributions to our understanding of the universe since Albert Einstein. The world’s most famous physics professor, a best-selling author, and a father of three, Stephen lived his life to its fullest. Bridging the world of theoretical physics with the reach of pop culture, Stephen Hawking became an emblem of human determination and intellectual curiosity.

Inside you will hear about:

  • Early life and terminal illness
  • Hawking radiation and black holes
  • The Hawking family
  • A gambling man
  • Late life and death
  • And much more!
