Exeter UniversityHawking's life is a tale of genius and fortitude. It was 38 years ago that he was diagnosed with a motor-neurone disease and, as he noted, he "was given to expect I didn't have long enough to finish my Ph.D.".
"Then suddenly, toward the end of my second year of research, things picked up. My disease wasn't progressing much, and my work all fell into place, and I began to get somewhere."
Turning 60 seemed to be reaching a summit for Hawking, who has two sons and a daughter.
"He has been very excited about it," said Hawking's younger son, Tim, 22, who is studying French and Spanish at Exeter University. "60 years, he has done a good job."
