On March 14 this year, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the word-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.

Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe (宇宙) began with the Big Bang and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world.

Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic (樂觀的) attitude.

When Hawking was 21, he developed a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be mentally disabled as well, ” he once said.

Hawking travelled the earth to attend science meetings, visiting every continent (大洲), including Antarctica (南極洲). He also was a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-airballoon. And he hoped to travel into space one day.
