Stephen Hawking is the world-famous physicist with a cameo in The Simpsons on his CV, but outside his academic field his work is little understood. To the public he is a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A Brief History of Time, and yet confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed. Hawkings major contribution to science has been to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics - Einsteins General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarates brilliant graphic guide explores Hawkings life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe it
