Good vibes for Stephen Hawking (NDC)

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/04/20/hawking.health/index.html

(CNN) -- Scientist and author Stephen Hawking is "very ill" and has
been hospitalized, according to Cambridge University, where he is a
professor.

Hawking, 67, is one of the world's most famous physicists and also a
cosmologist, astronomer, and mathematician.

Wheelchair-bound Hawking is perhaps most famous for 'A Brief History
of Time.'

Hawking has Lou Gehrig's Disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or
ALS), which is usually fatal after three years. Hawking has survived
for more than 40 years since his diagnosis.

A Cambridge University spokesman told CNN: "Professor Hawking is very
ill and has been taken by ambulance to Addenbrookes Hospital in
Cambridge."

Professor Peter Haynes, head of the university's department of Applied
Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, said: "Professor Hawking is a
remarkable colleague, we all hope he will be amongst us again soon."
