This shows physicist Stephen Hawking's life as he deals with the ALS that renders him immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, classmates, and peers are interviewed not only about his theories but the man himself.

Best friends and brilliant physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are geniuses in the lab but socially challenge outside of it. Despite this, Leonard married his beautiful, street-smart neighbour, Penny. And Sheldon, after a long courtship, wed successful neurobiologist Amy. And while aerospace engineer Howard and his adorable microbiologist wife, Bernadette, explore the predicament of being married with two kids, astrophysicist Raj considers a traditional arranged marriage. As the supersmart friends solve quotidian conundrums posed by academia. Family crises and video games, their experiments in domestic bliss never fail to produce hilarious results. But all good theories arrive at a conclusion. The twelfth and final season of "television's perpetual laughter continuum comprises" 24 supercharged episodes that take comedy to the next dimension...and beyond.

The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind. Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues. Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us. Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history. Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.
