As stated online from the Catholic News Agency, Hawking is a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences \u2013 which includes 80 of the most brilliant scientists in the world \u2013 and he was in Vatican City for the group\u2019s annual meeting. Hawking himself gave a talk on \u201cThe Origin of the Universe,\u201d the topic that has earned him world renown.<br \/>\nHis many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F\u00a0R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel. Among the popular books Stephen Hawking has published are his best seller A Brief History of Time, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, The Universe in a Nutshell, The Grand Design and My Brief History.<br \/>\nProfessor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees. He was awarded the CBE in\u00a01982, and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989. He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes, is a Fellow of The Royal Society and a Member of\u00a0the US National Academy of Sciences.<br \/>\nStephen was diagnosed with ALS, a form of Motor Neurone Disease, shortly after\u00a0his 21st birthday. In spite of being wheelchair bound and dependent on a computerised voice system for communication Stephen Hawking continues to\u00a0combine family life (he has three children and three grandchildren), and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel\u00a0and public lectures.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1441212700470-1\" class=\"ad-inline-2\"><\/div>\n<p>During his conference at Casina Pio IV, Stephen Hawking paid homage to Msgr. George Lemaitre, president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences from 1960 to 1966. Hawking said that Msgr. Lemaitre was the real father of the \u201cBig Bang Theory,\u201d thus dismissing the common belief that the father of the theory was the U.S. naturalized physicist George Gamow.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nReferences <span class=\"noticia_byline\">Vatican City, Dec 2, 2016 \/ 03:35 am (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>), hawking.org.uk <\/span>\t\t<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Hawking\u2019s visit to the Vatican last month with Oxygen provided by our team.
