Genius physicist, Stephen Hawking dies at 76
One of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein, Stephen Hawking has died aged 76.
Hawking’s early academic career was not as sparkling as would be expected from a man widely considered as genius.
He claimed he didn’t learn to properly read until he was 8, and his grades never surpassed the average scores while he was student at St. Albans School.
He, however, demonstrated a tremendous capacity for grasping issues related to space and time.
Hawking passed on Tuesday, 42 years after he was told he’d die from a crippling disease which condemned him to a wheelchair and left him needing communication technology.
