Where to stream the Stephen Hawking biopic 'The Theory of Everything'
How to watch Eddie Redmayne's Oscar winning performance of the late great physicist
No plans tonight? Good.
As we’re sure you are aware by now, science genius and all-round great man Stephen Hawking died yesterday at the age of 76. Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21 whilst still an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge, he was told by doctors that he had two years left to live. Luckily for pretty much the whole world, Hawking went on to live a further 55 years and make some of the most important scientific discoveries of our time.
If you’re feeling particularly down, or want to find out more about this incredible man’s life because it turns out you don’t know much about him at all except that he was really clever, there are worse plans you could make for your evening than settling in with The Theory of Everything.
