The Ever Rising Science Star

The brightest star so renowned, Modern Cosmology well-governed! The Universe was examined and Black Holes too Brought General Relativity and Quantum Gravity intact! Was he the one who diagnosed with dreadful ALS, Transformed black holes from inexorable gravitational prisons? “Lived decades longer than predicted” said the humankind But his research turned him a celebrity in the science world! Adversities struck down,Lost control over every muscle, Communicated through tailored technology with a tussle! Never gave into despair,stood with prudence, Revamped older thoughts to open new horizons Nonetheless,broadened hope for humanity. As the youngest Fellow of Britain’s prestigious Royal Society His passing left an intellectual vacuum, A kind of a vacuum energy but not an empty home The Rising Science Star at the age of thirty-two His“A Brief History of Time” a lasting legacy From Big Bang to Black Holes in space, Became the Lover of “Doughnut-Shaped Universe” Most scientists are not as famous as he, Undoubtedly has lived more than one could ever be He was one of four children to gifted parents Born in Oxford,England and grew up in St. Albans The eldest son of Frank and Isobel Hawking With Mary, Philippa and Edward his siblings His birth came at a difficult time for his parents, But touched many lives today beyond his labs When grew older,father said to pursue medical business But his passion remained for ‘the sky’ and science! ‘An Exceptional student’? Nay,was never called for brilliance though world renowned for his excellence! Know he was at the bottom of his class at School but creative outside and cool Constructed a computer out of recycled parts during teens Solved rudimentary math equations with peers Focus was least on Educational lines,graduated with honors in natural science Attended Cambridge for a PhD but suspected subject irrelevance May be that’s Stephen Hawking beyond excellence! Encountered a big breakthrough,gained top honors,won Adams Prize at last The pair teamed up and worked,Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking! The fate of stars and creation of Black Holes Even the coveted “Albert Einstein Award” unfolds! Mourning science world for the pioneer of modern Cosmology An Inspiration and communicator of Science Works and discoveries left legendary marks “A Medical Marvel” as Rees exclaimed about his survival Certainly his contributions will ever prevail with trail He sadly left that science and the wider world behind To feel poorer for his passing!
