When a Mind Trapped in a Body Unlocked the Universe

What happens when someone diagnosed with two years to live decides those years are worth living after all? Stephen Hawking's story begins not with triumph but with a death sentence at age 21. The young Oxford graduate, who'd coasted through his studies with deliberate indifference, suddenly faced ALS-a disease that would gradually imprison his body while his mind remained free. Then something remarkable happened. He dreamed he was about to be executed and woke up with a revelation: if he were given a reprieve, there were countless worthwhile things he could do. That dream became a fifty-five-year reprieve during which he revolutionized our understanding of black holes, wrestled with the universe's deepest mysteries, and became one of history's most recognizable scientists. His final gift, "Brief Answers to the Big Questions," completed after his death in 2018, distills a lifetime of cosmic contemplation into accessible wisdom. It's not just about physics-it's about what it means to be human in an incomprehensibly vast universe.
