To write a book, to speak to people, to communicate, he twitches one muscle in his right cheek; "the motion sends an infrared beam to a computer that translates his signals into words."
We might complain about how hard it is to write, but do our struggles even come close to Hawking's? He was told he would die in his twenties but here he is, at 68, still dazzling us.
Hawking is said to be the most brilliant physicist around...
Who is the most brilliant person in the world (from your perspective) and why? It might be a writer, a family member...What is it about this person that makes them shine so brightly?
