When he was 21, however, he was told that he had ALS an incurable (不可治疗的) nerve disease, which affects walking, speaking, breathing, swallowing, and many other things. The doctors predicted that he had only a few years to live, but he didnt die. Instead, as his physical condition be-came worse, Hawking became more well-known in scientific circles.

What the doctors said made me determine to get the most from life, and life was no longer boring for me, Hawking says today, speaking from his wheelchair through a computer. In 1988, Stephen Hawking published a book called A Brief History of Time. The book tries to explain many of Hawkings physical and mathematical ideas and calculations without using maths. The book became a best-seller. His later books are Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays and most recently in 2001, The Universe in a Nutshell.
