Who among the following was a famous 'physicist' who could hardly move or speak but made major contributions to science?

Stephen Hawking

The correct answer is Option 2 - Stephen Hawking

The famous physicist Stephen Hawking could hardly move or speak, but he made major contributions to science.

Another problem which arises with the idea of natural differences is that some differences which could be considered natural need no longer be seen as unalterable. For instance, advances in medical science and technologies have helped many disabled people to function effectively in society. Today, computers can help blind people, wheel chairs and artificial limbs can help in cases of physical disability, even a person’s looks can be changed with cosmetic surgery. The famous physicist Stephen Hawking can hardly move or speak but he has made major contributions to science. It would seem unjust to most people today if disabled people are denied necessary help to overcome the effects of their disability or a fair reward for their work on the grounds that they are naturally less capable.
