Scientist Hawking ill in hospital

Posted Image

Leading scientist Stephen Hawking is "very ill" in hospital, his employer Cambridge University has said.

A spokesman said Professor Hawking was undergoing tests at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

The spokesman said the 67-year-old, who has motor neurone disease, had "been unwell for a couple of weeks".

Prof Hawking has worked at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University for more than 30 years.

Prof Hawking, who speaks with the aid of a voice synthesiser, has three children and one grandchild.

He became a CBE in 1982 and a Companion of Honour in 1989.

Prof Peter Haynes, head of the University's Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, said: "Professor Hawking is a remarkable colleague.

"We all hope he will be amongst us again soon."

Prof Hawking called off an appearance at Arizona State University on 6 April because of his illness.

Last year, it was announced he would be stepping down as the university's Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the end of this academic year.

It is policy for holders of the title to retire at 67.

However, Prof Hawking said he intended to continue working as Emeritus Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.

They said on the news that he was the longest sufferer of motor neurone in the country, which I didn't know.

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker

He was diagnosed with that shit when he was only 21, and they told him he would only survive for 2-3 years.

On our way home, we spoke of many things
Are we allowed to make... brand new beginnings?
Do we need to know... where the journey starts?
On my way home, green are all the lights...
