Stephen Hawking was a physicist. He was born in Oxford, worked in Cambridge, and studied the universe under the constraint of motor neurone disease, which he lived with for decades. A Brief History of Time carried that work to readers who were not physicists. He died in Cambridge in 2018. Photographs of the chair and the voice are part of how people remember him.
