Etymology

The term 'Hawking' is derived from the name of Stephen Hawking, who was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. He became one of the most celebrated scientists of his time, known for his groundbreaking research in the fields of cosmology and theoretical physics. Despite being diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease at the age of 21, which left him almost completely paralyzed, Hawking continued to work and produce influential theories throughout his life. His seminal book, 'A Brief History of Time', published in 1988, brought complex scientific ideas to a vast audience and solidified his status as a key figure in modern science. Hawking passed away in 2018, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to inspire scientists and enthusiasts alike.
