A great scientist known for his contribution to the world of science, especially modern Cosmology. He was an inspiration to many of us alive today, fighting against all odds, overcoming his inabilities and proving his oft remarked quote:
I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first...

His scientific works include a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Apart from his first book, A Brief History of Time, Hawking has authored or participated in the creation of numerous other popular science books, including The Universe in a Nutshell, A Briefer History of Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, The Illustrated On the Shoulders of Giants, and George's Secret Key to the Universe.

A lifespan may not be enough to understand the achievements of his life. He'll be remembered for his spirit and unbounded pursuit to gain a complete understanding of the universe, despite the obstacles he faced.

He has left behind an intellectual vacuum...

A great life... Team Nirem prays for his soul to rest in eternal peace.

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first...
