Sivuke kusasa nge-Matshi 14, 2018 ngeendaba ezibuhlungu: i-astrophysicist yaseBrithani UStephen Hawking usweleke namhlanje ekuseni ekhayeni lakhe eCambridge eneminyaka engama-76, njengoko kungqinwe sisithethi sosapho.
Waziwa kwihlabathi liphela njengenye yezona ngqondo zibalaseleyo zamaxesha akutshanje, uStephen Hawking akakhanyisanga ngesayensi kuphela, kodwa ikwanike isifundo kumzabalazo wobomi. Ifunyenwe isifo se-neurodegenerative Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Yena) idlule konke okulindelweyo (1 okanye 2 iminyaka) oogqirha abayiqikelela ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-50 eyadlulayo.
UStephen William Hawking wayenabantwana abathathu: ULucy, uRobert noTim, abathe babika emva kokusweleka kukatata wabo la mazwi alandelayo: Inkalipho kunye nokuzingisa kwakhe, kunye nokuhlekisa kwakhe kunye nokuqaqamba kwakhe, kwabakhuthaza abantu kwihlabathi liphela. Siya kumkhumbula ngonaphakade.
Phakathi kweyona mpumelelo yakhe ibalaseleyo yile inento yokwenza neMigodi eMnyama. I-Hawking iphuhlise ithiyori yemingxunya emnyama kwaye yabonisa ukuba zinokukhupha imitha. Kuncwadi lwenzululwazi, usosayensi odumileyo wenze igalelo kwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo, kungekuphela nje kwezemfundo, kodwa ekwayaziwayo ukuzisa inzululwazi kubaphulaphuli abanokubakho. Phakathi kwemisebenzi yakhe ebalaseleyo yile: "Imbali yeXesha", "Umhlaba ngokufutshane" okanye "Ithiyori Yento Yonke." Le yokugqibela yanika igama layo kwifilimu ebingumntu kwifilimu emva ko-2014.
Ekugqibeleni, Abahlobo bakhe kunye noogxa bakhe kwiYunivesithi yaseCambridge, iYunivesithi apho wafumana isidanga sobugqirha kwiCosmology kwi1979, bafuna hlawula Usosayensi okrelekrele kwaye upapashe ividiyo kwimemori yakhe "Ungayibona iphakamileyo." Kwisiteyitimenti esisemthethweni, usapho lukwabulela neYunivesithi ngokuvula incwadi yovelwano eza kufumaneka kubo bonke abo bafuna ukunika imbeko kwisazinzulu esidumileyo.
