Stephen Hawking, who became taken into consideration one of the greatest scientists of this century, left the sector in 2018 but has left behind some thing that is making others scratch their heads. Of the many objects that had been obtained with the aid of the London-based Science Museum, one is his blackboard that is packed with equations, doodles, or even cartoons. The board has now been placed up for show for the primary time and the organisers wish to resolve a number of the contents that Hawking, the expert on black holes, left at the back of.

The story behind the blackboard
A record by The Guardian shows that the blackboard was full of contents that it incorporates today at a conference on superspace and supergravity held in Cambridge that changed into arranged with the aid of Hawking himself in 1980. Since the scientist's paintings is going public, Juan-Andres Leon, the curator of Stephen Hawking’s office, stated as according to The Guardian, "We’ll truely try to extract their interpretations". Interestingly, Leon hopes that a person from the conference that changed into held over forty years ago would possibly attend the exhibition and give an explanation for what the contents on the board are all approximately.
Adding that he wishes the exhibition to be playful, The Guardian pronounced Leon announcing, "We didn’t need the display to be solemn, all heavy with trombones and swirling galaxies and such things as that. We wanted it to be playful. He didn’t take things too significantly and I don’t assume he’d were one of these celebrity if he didn’t have that spark of fun approximately him".
This idea became inspired by means of the truth that no longer many humans knew what Hawking did in his normal life. Besides the board, the Museum is also showing other gadgets such as his wheelchair and a Simpsons jacket, that he was talented with the aid of the display for his cameos. It's far really worth citing that the Science Museum has obtained over seven-hundred items belonging to the Cambridge scientist. The display representing Stephen Hawking at Work could reportedly be in exhibition until June 12 earlier than being shifted to several stops along with the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford and the National Railway Museum in York.
