Stephen Hawking is a physics teacher at Cambridge University.
Unfortunately he is paralyzed but is still able to communicate via electro-mechanical devices.
He is considered one of the world's leading theoretical physicists. Hawking is the Lucasian Professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
Despite enduring severe disability and, of late, being rendered quadriplegic by motor neurone disease (specifically, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease), he has had a successful career for many years, and has achieved status as an academic celebrity.
One of the books he wrote written for laymen is called
"A Brief History of time".
This book discusses Chaos Theory.
