“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you and do and succeed at.”--Stephen Hawking.

Google Doodle celebrates what would have been the 80th birthday of English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.   He was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig disease--amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)--quite early in his career and later was essentially paralyzed, lost his voice and communicated through a speech generating device.
