Among the theories announced by Dr. Hawking, who suffered from ALS but was enthusiastic about the study of the universe, there are the black hole singularity theorem (Penrose-Hawking's singularity theorem) and Hawking radiation , and many research results are modern. It has a great influence on cosmology. Dr. Hawking died in 2018 at the age of 76, far exceeding the 'life expectancy of 2 years' declared at the age of 21.

In order to get closer to Dr. Hawking's daily life, the Science Museum in London will hold a free exhibition called ' The Stephen Hawking at Work display ' from February 10, 2022. doing.
In this special exhibition, some of the more than 700 items related to Dr. Hawking collected by the Science Museum are exhibited, and the highlight is 'the graffiti-covered blackboard left by Dr. Hawking'. This blackboard is a fellow scientist who was studying a ' theory of everything ' that combined general relativity and quantum mechanics when Dr. Hawking hosted a conference on superspace and supergravity at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom in 1980. They wrote half-hearted mathematical formulas, esoteric slapsticks, and mysterious graffiti as they like. Dr. Hawking kept the blackboard full of graffiti for life without erasing it.
The image below is the blackboard. In addition to mysterious patterns and illustrations of squids, bearded men, snakes, etc. trying to get over the brick wall, it is covered with half-finished sentences and mathematical formulas, so at first glance you can not understand what it is.

Curator Juan-Andres Leon hopes that by revealing the blackboard at this exhibition, people who attended the conference over 40 years ago will explain the meaning of sketches and comments. .. 'We are certainly trying to get their interpretation out,' Leon said.
In addition to the blackboard, this special exhibition includes a valuable copy of the doctoral dissertation on the singularity theorem approved in 1966, the wheelchair used, a betting document on the
'People don't know much about what Dr. Hawking was living in his daily life, and Dr. Hawking, a theoretical physicist, said,'What were you doing on a plain Monday?'' Is difficult to convey. ' He said the items presented at this playful exhibition reflect Dr. Hawking's unique and witty personality.
