Stephen Hawking, a British theoretical physicist with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), greatly influenced the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity, and is well recognized for his book, A Brief History of Time. Considering his great contribution to physics, he very much deserves being recreated in LEGO.
I know I should not find this funny, but I do, I am sorry, I am clearly a bad Cowbag. A bad Cowbag particularly fond of the Mars LEGO Stephen Hawking.
