Stephen Hawking was one of the world's smartest people and had ALS and was a professor in England. He is known for being a theoretical physicist and someone who pushed through a disability.

He was one of the smartest people in the world and had ALS. The doctors diagnosed him when he was 21. They told him that he would not live very long. A miracle happened - he lived till he was 76 years old. He was one of the smartest people on the campus he worked at. He taught physics at the University of Cambridge.

Stephen Hawking had an impact on pop culture. For example, he had his own guest role on The Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, and Star Trek. He even had his own movie called the Theory of Everything. The directors wanted Stephen Hawking to say something and he said no and did something else.

Stephen Hawking wrote books about his theories and an autobiography. Stephen Hawking wrote his books with only the help of his computer. The British writer wrote A Brief History of Time, The Universe in a Nutshell, and many other books.

Stephen Hawking is my hero because he showed that overcoming challenges pay off in the long run. Stephen Hawking was one of the smartest people in the world and had ALS and was a professor at the University of Cambridge. Stephen Hawking was a very successful person.
