For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I remember in the 70s hearing about this brilliant physicist, Stephen Hawking, who had MND. Then doctors reckoned he had a couple of years to live. Hawking continued his stunning career for decades longer, having insights on Black Holes and writing popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Steven Hawking was in a Stavros wheel chair when I was a student
( Stavros - Dr Who, yeah?)
and then stopped progressing
sort of for around 25 y - and no one knew why. It is usually a constant descent but at difft rates in dfft pts
The million pounds he got from his book helped and allowed him to hire private nursing care 24 h - and divorce his wife who used to insist on sitting by his bed and reading the NT to him.
Wife no 2 used to smack him around
Imagine machine voice E=mc2
Smack - dont say that again ! another smack because he hasnt said yes miss
