Hawking spent his career studying cosmology, or the universe as a whole, with most of his work performed at the University of Cambridge. In , he was given two years to live after being diagnosed with a motor neuron disease (known popularly as Lou Gehrig's disease after the New York Yankees baseball player who also had it, or more properly as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.)
Hawking outlived this dire diagnosis by decades, continuing to perform research using a wheelchair and a specially adapted computer that transmitted his words by voice. He also advocated for disability inclusion, and for protecting Earth from humanity. In , for example, he warned that the damage to our planet induced by human-made "climate change" was reaching a tipping point that could see our planet turn into a hothouse world such as Venus.
