Hawking’s legacy

Stephen Hawking was a great scientist who helped us understand of the universe, even if most people couldn’t understand his work. He was also a very successful author.

The black holes which interested him may be symbolic, as he did not wallow in a personal black hole when he became ill, but fought it and showed that handicaps need not stop you.

His humour and wit was shown through his cameos on The Big Bang Theory. And he was the only person to appear on Star Trek as themselves. A great role model for all. DENNIS FITZGERALD
