There’s something that links Stephen Hawking to Galileo and Einstein.
Stephen Hawking, author, theoretical physicist, and cosmologist was born on January 8, 1942, the same year that Galileo has his 300th anniversary of death. Additionally, Stephen Hawking died on March 14, 2018, the day that would have been Einstein’s 139th birthday. Is this pure coincidence or there’s more to it?
It’s also very interesting how Hawking managed to reach the age of 76, even though he lived with Lou Gehrig’s Disease almost his whole life. As data from Scientific American has shown, Hawking’s life was indeed a miracle, as most people diagnosed with this disease live for about five years or no after diagnosis.
However, Stephen Hawking managed to live a long life, so he was given a lot more time to share his insights with the world. Also, let’s not forget about Hawking’s remarkable and legendary humor.
