Stephen Hawking’s and his discoveries as a scientist

Stephen Hawking is a famous American scientist who studies cosmology and is a theoretical physicist who has inspired many other scientist out there in the world. Albert Einstein was a big influence on Hawking because he liked Einsteins Theory of Relativity, he used this to study black holes. Stephen Hawking is also an influence on other scientist in todays date such as Brian Cox who has a tv show who talks and studies about black holes, he has also influenced very young children like Charlie Saur who also likes the study of black holes and does much research on it.

Stephen Hawking has accomplished many things in his life, going to University of Oxford at 17 years old and studied math and science which he thought was “ridiculously easy”. He was a very smart student, people at the school would call him “Einstein”. He also went to Trinity Hall, Cambridge where he studied his graduate work. Year went on and Hawking got married to Jane, the first year was hectic for them, they had constant traveling to the United States, also troubles finding a house for them to live in, their whole family were scientist, they all shared a liking to it and worked on many projects dealing with science.

Over years Hawking is developing a bad disease which made him unable to walk, he can walk but he has to use crutches and didn’t attend much lectures for his condition is taking over, he also lost his ability to write. Knowing his condition is getting worse day by day, he refused to give up and continue on with his studies and eventually was given a wheelchair to transport himself because of his ability to walk. Hawking’s discoveries and ...

... what he said to the people who don’t know what he is exactly saying. Hawking would get in many arguments with other scientist that black holes do not exist but those scientist would lose that argument because of evidence of Hawking’s discoveries.

There have been many documentaries on Hawking’s discoveries and other scientist’s theories thanks to Hawking’s help with the black hole and galaxy theories, Hawking’s condition has become worse where he uses a machine to communicate to people and sits in a chair for movement for the rest of his life, he has gotten into another marriage and is happy with his family, still searching and studying Quantum gravity happily and finding new things doing so. Many people today are touched by his work and book’s that they also would like to major in a scientific field one day and continue on his studies and make new theorem’s.
