Answer 2

World-renowned British physicist and cosmologist, Stephen Hawking, died in the early hours of 14th March 2018. Hawking was known for his famous theory on the black hole and relativity. He had been suffering from ALS(Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s disease. The news has left the world of physics in mourning as he was consider by many the greatest scientist of the age.
What is ALS ?

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS, is a motor-neuron disease. Each muscle in the brain is controlled by motor neurons in the frontal lobe. Motor neurons are located in three areas of the nervous system - the frontal lobe, the lower brain, and the spine. The motor neurons in the brain are called the upper motor neurons and the ones in the spine are known as the lower motor neurons. ALS typically leads to the weakening of either of these motor neurons or both together.
ALS has variations in which the condition of the patient could be affected in drastic ways. Mostly, those who are diagnosed with ALS live up to 2-5 years. However, Hawking was a rare case who lived over 50 years since he was diagnosed with ALS at the young age of 21.

With Stephen Hawking living for a greater part of the century and coming up with elaborate researches such as that of the black hole, it only defines the variability of this disease. One variable of this is gradual dysfunctioning of all the body parts, since everything is connected to the brain.
