Stephen Hawking is the best-known theoretical physicist alive today but few people outside his field know what he has done. To the public at large he is a legendary figure of tragic dimensions - a brilliant scientist and author of the phenomenal bestseller, A Brief History of Time - and yet confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak or write.Hawking has mastered the two great theories of physics from this century, Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
