Today we would like to set all the matters aside to honor a great man and wonderful scientist.

Stephen Hawking was, without a doubt one of the most famous physicist on Earth. He studied black holes when he was just 20 and, even Lou Gerick’s disease, that took over him when Stephen was just 21, didn’t stand in the way of the research.

Author of the famous “A Brief history of Time” has written the book after his body was fully paralyzed by the illness. And, although there were a lot of mistakes in his scientific career, he, for sure made a real revolution when it comes to the study of space and time. His studies on the black holes were describing and explaining things no one will ever be able to see with their own eyes.

Hawking has described the birth of the Universe and the processes that might have been going on to form absolutely everything. He was describing other galaxies and processes going on in the smallest of particles. He was inspiring people with the words he was saying with the help of a special program and twitching of his facial muscles:

1) At school, I was never more than about halfway up the class. It was a very bright class. My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers. But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better. When I was twelve, one of my friends bet another friend a bag of sweets that I would never come to anything. I don't know if this bet was ever settled, and if so, which way it was decided.

2) If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans. We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.

3) "One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.

4) I would go back to 1967, and the birth of my first child, Robert. My three children have brought me great joy.

5) I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

6) There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works.

7) Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.
