Stephen Hawking had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Stephen Hawking's disease gradually caused him to lose control of his body and rendered him unable to speak. However, he continued to work and communicate through the use of a computerized voice and a wheelchair.
It is impossible to say for certain, but it is likely that Stephen Hawking's intelligence, determination, and passion for science would have led him to make significant contributions to the field regardless of his disease.
Despite his limitations, Stephen Hawking made groundbreaking discoveries in the fields of cosmology and quantum mechanics, including his theory of black hole radiation and his work on the origin of the universe. He also wrote several best-selling books, including "A Brief History of Time."
Stephen Hawking's unwavering dedication to his work and his refusal to let his disease hold him back served as an inspiration to many people around the world. He showed that with determination and determination, anything is possible, even in the face of significant challenges.
