Stephen William Hawking: Reaching for the Stars

For today’s show, our featured genius scientist not only revolutionized the field of theoretical physics, but he did so from the confines of a wheelchair and the inability to speak! We are blessed and honored to present today’s model of success, the man who went beyond boundaries and taught us to go beyond ours - the amazing Professor Stephen Hawking. At the age of 21 Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His doctors thought he would not live past the age of 23. This life-altering prognosis cause Stephen to stop and contemplate his purpose and meaning in life. He began to work in earnest for the betterment of the entire human race. His hope for humanity was for “One Planet, One Human Race.”
