Since the very beginning Stephen has always loved science. Stephen was called Einstein at school even though he wasn't originally successful. He has a tremendous will to live and make his knowledge open to all ages that's why he wrote a book. He traveled the world teaching and giving lectures on time and space. Because each next day could be his last he has a desire to make the most of every moment, and he wants kids to have his knowledge he realized he is going to die, but he knows books i'll live forever. He can share a little piece of his brain and keep it frozen in time in a book. He fears that he is more famous for his disability than his knowledge. His disability won't last forever but his knowledge will now last forever that he has written a few books he has now done what he wanted, making a lasting impact on the world. All these things Stephen knows are tremendus he knows tons of things, but the more he writes down the more people can branch off of his work like branches on a tree, using each other and growing stronger together. Stephen knew this if he died his brain would be like a black box. Everything he knows gone, poof, that would be a seventy year setback, everything he learned in his seventy years would be gone. He had to work fast to write all of his ideas down so he started and finished in 1988, a book called A Brief History of Time. He was very selfless he knew his time was almost up and he had to do something about it he was very proactive, once he learned about his disease he immediately started working hard, harder than he ever worked in his life to get his PhD.
