Stephen Hawking: the man who gazed into infinity and “grasped” the origin of the Universe. The author who ignited our imagination about the most mysterious stars of Space. The celebrity scientist who made the press dedicate headlines to the bet he made with his colleagues about “the information paradox in black holes.” The mortal who adapted to his nature and defied death.

This unstoppable physicist who “pinned” the neglected Cosmology high on the map of sciences was an incredible humorist, a disarmingly generous man, an annoyingly quick-witted conversationalist, an unmatched visionary, a rare friend, a passionate denier of fate, but... don’t think he was any kind of saint.
