Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942. He is known for his contributions to the fields of cosmology (宇宙学) and quantum gravity（量子重力）, especially in the context of black holes. He experienced extreme difficulties and obstacles in his life, which only made him stronger.

The diagnosis (诊断) of motor neuron （运动神经元）disease came when Hawking was 21, shortly before his first marriage, and doctors said he would not survive more than two or three years. Hawking gradually lost the use of his arms, legs, and voice, and is now almost completely paralyzed（瘫痪）.
