Stephen Hawking ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Researching The Theory of Everything inspired me to share this local story of love overcoming tragedy. Ian and Larissa Murphy met in college at IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and fell in love. While Ian was working to save up for a wedding ring, he suffered a traumatic brain injury following an auto accident. Before Ian's own father died, he told Larissa to make a decision. Either they get married or they split up. This video tells the story of the decision they made.

Professor Stephen Hawking is featured as part of the TED Talks series. In this 2008 video, he addresses several big questions about our universe. How did the universe begin? How did life begin?

The Theory of Everything tells the story of the most celebrated physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and his wife Jane Wilde, the arts student he fell in love with when he was attending Cambridge in the 1960s. At 21, Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, otherwise known as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's disease, and was given just two years to live. He married Jane, beat the odds, and went on to be referred to as the successor to Einstein, in addition to being the father of three children.
