The group of people from Serbian city Čačak has launched a petition that the British scientist, who died several days ago, Stephen Hawking gets the street in Čačak.
The petition is on the portal "petitions24.com". The explanation states that Hawking is one of the greatest minds of the 20th century and that as such it undoubtedly deserves the name of the street in Čačak.
One of the greatest minds of the 20th century undoubtedly deserves that the street in Čačak bears his name. Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, and died on March 14, 2018. He has improved the understanding of space, time, and space-time singularities.
A British scientist has gained worldwide fame for his work on black holes and the theory of relativity, and left behind a series of works, of which the most famous book is the Short History of Time.
Hawking has uncovered some of the most frustrated secrets of the cosmos during his career. "My goal is simple, and it implies a complete understanding of the universe - why it is as it is and why it exists at all," he said.
He graduated in physics at Oxford, and then with a theory of relativity he received a PhD at Cambridge, where he continued his academic career.
At the age of 22, as a student, he was diagnosed with an extremely progressive neuromotoric disease, which greatly disables and limits movement and speech.
It is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), for which most of his life was spent in carts, completely immobile, forced to communicate with computer and voice synthesizer.
At that time, doctors gave him only a few years of his life.
However, Hoking had a specific form of illness - it progressed much slower than usual, which allowed him to have a remarkable contribution to physics and mathematics for more than five decades.
