January 8, 2012 outstanding astrophysicist of our time Stephen Hawking, turned 70 years old Although , The author of the international bestseller "A Brief History of Time" was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in 1963. and doctors gave him a maximum of two years of life, He didn't just live for so many years. but also became one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein However, the disease does not spare anyone: now Hawking is almost completely paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, he uses a computer voice synthesizer to speak. January 12, 2012 it became known that Hawking may lose the last opportunity to communicate with the world using a speech synthesizer.
