Stephen William Hawking (January 8, 1942 – March 14, 2018) was a British theoretical physicist and cosmologist known for his groundbreaking work on black holes and relativity. He attended University College Oxford, earning a first-class honors degree in natural sciences before completing his PhD at Cambridge. Diagnosed with motor neuron disease at age 21, Hawking experienced significant physical limitations but continued to work, becoming a renowned figure in theoretical physics. He developed a speech-generating device to aid communication, published popular and scientific works, and posited that the universe is self-contained with no boundaries in time.
