Stephen Hawking: one totally badass scientific wonder

The folks over at Online PhD sent me their original graphic bio (below) of the life of Stephen Hawking. Everything about the man is extraordinary: his mind, his career, and his reason-defying longevity.

On their site, they write: “As you work toward your PhD, there’s probably no greater inspiration than Stephen Hawking, who received his own PhD at the age of 23. Aside from that, he’s made some of the most notable scientific contributions of our time and dedicated his life to discovering how the universe works. He’s also been confined to a wheelchair for over 40 years. He’s the longest-surviving ALS patient, a certified genius, and a total badass.”

His life makes me ponder other dimensions and miraculous potentials that defy reason.

I don’t know if he would like that or not.
