To the public he is a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling \"A Brief History of Time\", and yet confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralyzed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHawking's major contribution to science has been to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics - Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOscar Zárate (born 1942) is an Argentine comic book artist and illustrator.
