V age of 76 years Stephen Hawking – perhaps, the most known scientist of the present died. It studied the theory of emergence of the world as a result of the Big Bang, made many discoveries in the theory of black holes, wrote books, popularized science. Stephen Hawking are considered the founder of quantum cosmology. And still it – almost only who lived decades with the diagnosis a lateral amyotrophic sclerosis. The diagnosis to it made in the sixties and predicted only some years of life. But the paralyzed scientist with a synthesizer of the speech continued to pursue science half a century more. "New Day" talked to the Ural scientists. As Stephen Hawking were succeeded to live with an illness and what trace it left in science – in an agency material.

Chief physician of Clinical institute of a brain, neurologist Belkin Andrey:

– It for 50 years endured [usual term at an illness]. It is will and technologies. The patient if such technologies prosthetics of functions are provided to him, can live more long. It had technologies, it had everything under stimulation, including breath. But for long life it is necessary to have not only a device, but also an active brain, will and desire to live. What there was a brain, you know.

to Patients who are covered by this illness, it is difficult to

to feel protected, they are doomed, nobody learned to treat it. At us at institute we try to train the person for that there will be problems. But in our reality there are problems with system of artificial ventilation of lungs in house conditions.

Terms of life of patients depend on a course of disease, on how quickly it progresses when the diagnosis was made. Live with such diagnosis usually from a year to five years.

Astronomer, leading engineer of Kourovsky astronomical observatory FGAOU TO "URFA NAMED AFTER PERVOGO PRESIDENT THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION B. N. YELTSIN", URAL FEDERAL DISTRICT FEDERAL UNIVERSITY, URFA Krushinsky Vadim:

– It is the strong scientist-theorist, and this his main achievement. But at the same time powerful popular writer. And here made more, than his many more eminent colleagues. The person in a wheelchair could explain to people that the science is okhrenenno, it is very healthy. If to speak about communication of work of Stephen Hawking with astronomy, physicists-theorists reached today such depths that we can check their researches only. To the contrary, our some supervision can explain, check, construct models only physicists-theorists. On the earth there are no such colliders, accelerators which could create conditions for check. All relativistic effects, everything that is connected with high energiya, with black holes is everything at our sciences is crossed. There would be no Stephen Hawking, there would be someone another, but he managed to inform importance and to make popular difficult scientific theories.

Candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, professor of Institute of natural sciences and mathematics URFA Alexander Geyn:

by

– Stephen Hawking recognized that as the mathematician it was any therefore to tell that it affected mathematics, it would be probably difficult. I will tell about it as about physics.

We observe the nature and we feel comfortable, and there are people, it seems Albert Eynshteyn, Clark, Feynman who suddenly find a riddle in this nature. Stephen Hawking was just such person. He found out that black holes which were already found by then by astrophysics, lead to a certain contradiction as that the wave and a particle have to be different objects, and actually this same. It occurred somewhere in 1993 when it showed that it is necessary to change completely the perception concept between quantum physics and the relativity theory. Here in it there was its role in world science. And he managed to initiate scientific community to move in this direction. After that till 2004 discussion how it everything has to be defined developed.

the People having such gift, always become good popular writers of science. They have to realize it, and it so process difficult and intuitive that then they can explain it and another, in language of feelings and representations, instead of in language of formal calculations. At Stephen Hawking in 2012 left the fine children's book telling about the Big Bang, – "George and the Big Bang". This internal state of relationship from the Universe, and thanks to it he was able to tell about the Universe even to children.

Reference. Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, United Kingdom. The English physicist-theorist, studied the theory of the Big Bang, the theory of black holes. Founder of quantum cosmology. In 1975 developed the theory that black holes "evaporate" at the expense of the phenomenon which has received the name radiation of Stephen Hawking. On its account set of scientific achievements. Was engaged in science promoting, in 1988 published the book "Short History of Time", it became the best-seller. Other its books – "Black holes and the young Universes", "The world in a nutshell", "The shortest history of time" (in a co-authorship with Mlodinov Leonard), "George and secrets of the Universe" (for children, wrote with the daughter).

On television left educational films with participation of Stephen Hawking: six-serial "the Universe Stephen Hawking and "In the Universe with Stephen Hawking". About it the movie "Grand Design according to Stephen Hawking" and a TV series "Science of the future Stephen Hawking" is shot. He acted in popular youth series "Theory of the Big Bang".

For distribution of scientific knowledge by the scientist since 2015 the Medal Stephen Hawking for scientific communication" is handed over to

". Stephen Hawking – the owner of several awards (a medal Albert Eynshteyn, Wolf's award, an award of the Prince of Asturias, Copley's medal, an award on fundamental physics).

In the 1960th years for it diagnosed the BASS which led to paralysis. After a series of operations and a trakheostomiya it lost a voice. To it presented a voice synthesizer. Any time the paralyzed scientist could operate devices a finger of the right hand. But eventually mobility at it remained only in one mimic muscle of a cheek.
