El famoso astrofísico británico Stephen Hawking
El mundo se ha conmovido con la noticia del fallecimiento de Stephen Hawking, el físico inglés que quedó postrado en una silla de ruedas a temprana edad, debido a una enfermedad degenerativa.
Hawking, considerado el científico más popular del mundo, falleció a los 76 años en la ciudad universitaria de Cambridge después de un deterioro de su salud en los últimos meses.
Hawking desafió las predicciones de los médicos, que, a mediados de los años 1960 le dieron sólo un par de años de vida después de que le diagnosticaran una forma atípica de esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA), una enfermedad que ataca a las neuronas motoras encargadas de controlar los movimientos voluntarios y que lo dejó en silla de ruedas.
El físico apareció en 2012 en la serie y las referencias a él se prolongaron a lo largo de sus 11 temporadas.

"La humanidad tiene un margen de mil años antes de autodestruirse a manos de sus avances científicos y tecnológicos".
Miles de personas lo recordaron a través de las redes sociales con diferentes frases y fotos. Fueron muchos los artistas con los que convivió y en varios programas de comedia en los que apareció, como lo fue en The Big Bang Theory. Uno de los personajes más cercano al astrofísico fue Sheldon Cooper, su gran admirador. "Y también pone nuestras preocupaciones en perspectiva", Stephen Hawking. Nos hizo reír y nosotros a él.
"He estado inmerso en la ciencia toda mi vida, ahora estoy preparado para rezar". Como en una novela de suspenso, el británico sembró en su camino algunas profecías inquietantes como la última que lanzó al mundo para advertir que "Para el año 2600, la población mundial estaría hombro con hombro, y el consumo de electricidad haría que la Tierra brillará al rojo vivo". Hace 139 años, el 14 de marzo de 1879, nacía uno de los físicos más conocidos de la historia en Ulm (Alemania).
Pero en 1974, Hawking dijo que los efectos de la física cuántica hacen que los agujeros negros no sean en realidad "tan negros" como se creía. "Gracias, Dr. Hawking, por iluminarnos y bendecirnos con tu sabiduría y coraje". Hawking también acompañó a Pink Floyd sobre el escenario.
