Professor Stephen Hawking possesses one world’s more formidable minds locked in one of world’s most useless bodies. A victim of Lou Gehrig’s disease, Hawking has lived for decades with an almost total loss of motor skills.

I am blown away by how strangers saved strangers. I am moved by how strangers grieved for strangers they could not save. I am touched by how strangers cared for other strangers too dazed
