The biggest theoretical physicist modernity Stephen Hawking   got an invitation from the company Virgin Galactic billionaire Richard Branson, who arranges space flights for passengers. While the implementation of such Flight is quite risky, Hawking himself has admitted that his perspective Death does not frighten space. On the contrary, he would be happy to die it there is, in fact most of his life spent in the study of physics laws of the universe.

Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking   He was born in 1942, and in the early 1960s, when he studied at Oxford University, future great scientist faced with unexplained symptoms. His body is weakened and refuses to execute the commands of the brain. The research allowed put a terrible diagnosis - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or illness motor neurons. In this disease, the person gradually ceases control his body because of violations of the connection between the brain and muscles.

The disease is incurable, and Most of its victims die within the first 2-3 years after the diagnosis. Only 10% manage to survive more than 7 years. But Stephen Hawking has become the world's first patient ALS, whose condition stabilized, and scientists still can not understand, how to explain it. Currently, however, Hawking can manage only facial muscles cheeks, near which the sensor is attached. With the help of a computer He voiced words of the great scientist.

Despite his illness, Hawking married twice and so lead an active life, as far as possible, constantly moving around the world. With great scientist would expect flight space, as in a state of weightlessness, his body will not be a helpless accumulation of muscle, bone and tissue, and Hawking will be able to experience the feeling free floating.
