He was a “laid back” undergraduate，but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree，and an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge Within a few years of his disease he was wheelchair-bound，and his speech was unclear. But his scientific career went from strength to strength：he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes and how our universe beganIn 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the early age of 32The great at advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were unconnectedfor instance，Isaac Newton famously realized that the force making an apple fall was the same as the f0Ilce that held the moon and planets in their orbitsStephensTheory has still not been tested
