Stephen Hawking's personal celebrity as a scientist and as a public figure had a great deal to do with the fact that he had such a massive intelligence and he had such a remarkable curiosity, but he was also trapped within a body, a physical body that had declared war on him. When it came to the theoretical physics, well it happens that most of those people who bought the book couldn't understand what Stephen Hawking was talking about. Leonard Mlodinow, he's a physicist and science writer at the California Institute of Technology, who became a colleague and collaborator with Stephen Hawking, he described A Brief History of Time as "Probably the least read most bought book ever." Why? Because the book achieved international bestseller status largely driven by Stephen Hawking's celebrity personality. So said Michio Kaku, a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York, Hawking became world famous largely by the story of his life and the success of his books, Most importantly, his best selling book of 1988, A Brief History of Time, from the Big Bang to black holes, but about that book, another interesting fact has to be kept in mind.

Hawking, the Cambridge University physicist and best selling author who roamed to the cosmos from a wheelchair, pondering the nature of gravity and the origin of the universe and becoming an emblem of human determination and curiosity, died early Wednesday at his home in Cambridge.
As the New York Times reported almost immediately after the death was announced by Cambridge University and I ", "Stephen W. One of the most recognized scientists of the modern age died yesterday, early on Wednesday at age 76.
