Can You Solve The 40 Year Mystery Of Stephen Hawking's Blackboard Doodles?

Stephen Hawking's blackboard filled with mysterious drawings, cryptic messages, numbers and equations is on display, waiting to be decoded. Hawking's contribution to science can not be summarized in just a few paragraphs. His work ranges from the nature of black holes to radiation, the Big Bang, quantum gravity, the Theory of Everything and the M-theory or multiple universe theory.

While young and studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Doctors then told him he had two years to live at the most. But instead, the brilliant scientists not only challenged his life expectancy, living more than five decades but became a leader in his field, an innovator in physics and cosmology and a symbol to open minds to new ways of thinking.

The story says that when Hawking met with his colleagues to work on the Theory of Everything in 1980, they scribbled down notes and drawings on a blackboard. Hawkings liked the blackboard so much that he had it sprayed with varnish and hung in his office. Now the Science Museum Group has it on display and is calling on former colleagues and everyone willing to show up and solve the blackboard mystery. But is the blackboard just a joke from Hawking and his colleagues?

It is no coincidence that Hawking's blackboard is now at the Science Museum. Hawking himself said the Museum is one of his favorite places, having visited it for decades. He even celebrated his 70th birthday at the Museum. In 1980 Hawking was immersed in a set of cosmological equations that would reconcile General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This is known
