Summary:

"The Cambridge university’s website crashed after world-renowned physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking’s doctoral thesis written in 1966 was made available online. The 134-page five-decade-old physics thesis ‘Properties of Expanding Universes’ was written by Hawking when he was 24. The demand and curiosity around the thesis were huge as it was the first time the 1966 Ph.D. thesis of Hawking was available on the internet. Readers who flocked the site as part of Cambridge’s Open Access Week 2017 commented that the download was crashing."
