Stephen Hawking

    January 8, 1942 – March 14, 2018

    Stephen Hawking was a renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist whose work fundamentally altered our understanding of the universe. He delved into the fundamental laws governing reality, bridging Einstein's General Theory of Relativity with quantum mechanics. Hawking's groundbreaking theories suggest that space and time had a beginning in the Big Bang, and black holes might evaporate. His intellectual legacy lies in uncovering the deepest mysteries of the cosmos and how it can be described by the laws of science.

We are all time travelers journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit.

Adapted from Professor Hawking’s posthumous 2020 Earth Day message, You and the Universe is his first picture book and is a tribute to the littlest citizens of Earth, highlighting the power of coming together and creating a better tomorrow.
