Description

By: Roger Highfield  
A behind-the-scenes tour of the inner sanctum of one of the world’s most prominent scientific thinkers.

In 2021, The Science Museum made a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition of the contents of Stephen Hawking’s office. This book delves into that remarkable collection, using the seminal papers, items, and curiosities in his office to explain his theories and reveal more about one of the greatest minds in modern science.  It’s an unprecedented glimpse into the life of the best-known scientist of modern times.  

Artifacts include:
  • A Simpsons bomber jacket gifted to him following his appearance on the show
  • A copy of Hawking’s PhD thesis: Properties of an Expanding Universe
  • Singularities and the Geometry of Space, written at the beginning of his vital collaboration with Roger Penrose
  • His blackboard, where he debated ideas and doodled with his contemporaries
  • Scientific bets made with colleagues to prove (and sometimes disprove) his theories
  • His Permobil F3 wheelchair and communications systems
  • Hawking’s Franklin medal and his CBE
