From the dawn of human civilization
Men and women have braved persecution and death
To advance our knowledge of the universe
Hypatia, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Curie, Einstein, Faraday
Have all left their mark on the pages of human history
But among these paragons of science
Is one complete and utter badass
Stephen Hawking is metal as f*ck
Professor Stephen Hawking is a Cambridge-educated
Theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author
Diagnosed with ALS at the tender age of 21
He nonetheless went on to revolutionize
Our understanding of black holes and quantum cosmology
Despite paralysis and confinement in a wheelchair
He has lectured all over the world and starred in and episode of Star Trek
He even has a type of radiation named after him for Christ's sake
Stephen Hawking is truly metal as f*ck
