Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8 of 1942 exactly on the anniversary of 300 years of Galileo's death, on the city of Oxford, England. He lived on his father's house until reach eight years old. The house of Stephen's father was located in the North of London; His parents were Frank Hawking, a research biologist who worked as a parasitological for the National Institute for Medical Research in London and Isabel Hawking. When he was eight moved to a little town about 50 miles from his father's house, on his 11 birthday he joined the St. Alban's School then after to the Oxford University were his father also study before. Stephen wants to do mathematics, but his fathers wish was to have Stephen study medicine instead. Even for the fact that mathematics was not available on that college, Stephen chooses physic. After just being about three years studying, Stephen was getting award to the first of his class in Natural science.
Stephen then went to Cambridge to research cosmology since there is no one working on that field. His supervisor was Denis Sciama; beside he wished to have a chance to work with Fred Hoyle. After earn his Ph. D, Stephen participates of few another research, and later on Stephen research with a partner in Goinville, on the College of Caius. After left the institute of astronomy in 1973, Stephen went to the department of applied mathematics and theory physics since 1979 had the occupation of mathematics Teacher.
Stephen Hawking consolidated theories on black holes and the big bang, which revolutionized cosmology (study of the evolution of the Universe), married for the first time in July 1965 with Jane Wilde, separating in 1991. His second marriage was with his nurse Elaine Mason 16 September 1995. H...

...les formed. In 1974, estimated the black holes whose radiation also called "Hawking radiation". The asteroid "7672 Hawking" it was named in his honor. Is the author of "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell?" On January 9, 1986, Stephen elected by Pope John Paul II to be a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. In 1993, he took part in episode of Star Trek the Next Generation on the scene as it is a hologram, together with Newton and Einstein, playing cards with the character Data. In 1994, he recorded the album of Pink Floyd, The Division Bell, making the digital voice on "Keep Talking". He made some investments in The Simpsons, Futurism, Dexter's Laboratory, The Fairly Odd Parents, the Dilbert cartoon, and Superhero Movie. Recently made an appearance in a marketing Discovery Channel called I love the World, where he said: "Boom De Ya Da".
Hawking is still alive and has been living with his disease for fifty-two years now (“Stephen Hawking Biography”, n.d.). In doing research as to how Hawking has been able to live so long with this disease, I came to the conclusion that there is not a reason. An article written by Terrence McCoy (2015) in the Washington Post described his lengthy life as “extraordinary” and “extremely rare”. This is further indication that his interminable existence is supported by pure luck. What an incredible coincidence that such an important man was able to withstand the consequences of a highly fatal disease. Stephen Hawking, the Hawking family, and the rest of the world are, whether they know it or not, thankful for this one man’s extreme luck. His contributions to scientific knowledge and his perseverance will be forever
Cosmology is a field of astronomy that focuses on the framework, and emergence of the universe. Over the years, many cosmologists have contributed to the subject, using many forms of technology, to make a multitude of discoveries. Improvements in technology are responsible for superlative discoveries, chiefly about the Big Bang, the origin of our universe. The works of various cosmologists, such as Galileo Galilei, Edwin Hubble, Robert Dicke, Arno Penzias, Robert Wilson, and Vera Rubin have changed the way humanity views the universe, through their use of technology, and through their brilliance.

There was two events that influenced Stephen the first was the launch of Sputnik I, the two world’s superpowers the United States of America and the Union Soviet Socialist Republics were locked in a space race, which was really a battle for superiority. With the launch of Sputnik shook Americans down to the core, due to the Soviet’s success of reaching orbit before America, a great fear swept the nation. In turn this lead to wide spread panic and constant bomb drills. The space race ended when America put a man on the moon, but the conflict did not end until 1990.
At a young age, Hawking began to suffer from ALS and the disease started to deteriorate the muscles in his body, which as a result affected his mobility and speech. Hawking’s disability gave him a headway into studying deeper in the field of science. As a result, Hawking has developed many respected theorem and ideas that have changed Hawking. Hawking already possessed skills and the knowledge, but because of his hurdles of adversity he was able to develop many more theorems and ideas that are applied today.
...everyone who loves space and math connects and make future hypothesis and make the world a better place. I think of him as one of the best people to work with math there is. The correlation he made between math and science is something that had never been seen before and maybe the best that there will ever be. I think he changed the way people looked at math for the rest of time.
Stephen W. Hawking Stephen W. Hawking has a mind set that is beyond today's general way thinking. His attempts to identify a grand unification theory that unites everything we know about the physical world and science far exceeds any realm of thinking that has ever graced this earth.
Einstein was married twice. He was separated from his first wife, a physicist named Mileva Maric, soon after his arrival in Berlin. After World War I, he married his first cousin, Elsa. She died at Princeton in 1936. He had two sons and a daughter by his first wife. He gained two stepdaughters in his second marriage.
Albert Einstein is looked at as one of the most magnificent scientific thinkers throughout history. His theories on the nature and dimensions of time and space immensely changed the way people thought of the physical world and established many of the major fundamental foundations for a tremendous amount of the our scientific discoveries and inventions in the 21st century.
One of the greatest heroes of American(and international) science and culture in the past century has been German physicist Albert Einstein. Born in 1879, Einstein used his early years to educate himself and began to think up his own methods for solving his newly found inquiries into science and higher-level mathematics. In a short time during the beginning of the twentieth century, Einstein pulled together his research and incredible intellect for unprecedented gains in science and theory used throughout the world. One need not go far to view the incredible impact that innovative genius Albert Einstein has had upon the twentieth century. His impact stretches far beyond the reaches of physics and life in the early 1900's. This physicist of phenomenal philosophy, logic, and imagination has been and still is the subject of countless catch phrases and expressions of intelligence. Albert Einstein is a forerunner of influential American icons. Because of his contribution to American science and society as an immigrant, intellectual accomplishments, and discoveries in nuclear technology, it is my belief that Albert Einstein was the most influential person of the twentieth century.
The main way Hawking believes that we could understand and prove that the beginning of the universe is purely scientific would be by something he calls the M-theory. The M-theory is also referred to as the Grand Design. The M-theory is a way to predict how the universe came to be and how to prove that the universe came from nothing and appeared out of the blue. They refer to an image that stuck out in mind of God blowing bubbles, our universe being a bubble. In the article this theory is said to be the same theory that Albert Einstein was hoping to discover. In his book, Brief History of Time, Hawking believes that with the progression of Einstein knowing so much in his time, th...
Carl Sagan is known as one of the most famous scientists of all time. He revolutionized how the world looked at space and the search for intelligent life beyond our planet. The author of many books, he is most known for Contact (which was adapted into a movie) and for the PBS documentary Cosmos. As one of America's most famous astronomers and science-fiction writers, Carl Sagan turned a life of science into one of the most critically successful scientific careers of the 20th century.
Stephen Hawking has been hailed as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Albert Einstein. Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, which as he likes to point out is the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. Hawking originally studied at Oxford University in England studying physics even though he would have preferred math. He moved onto Cambridge University to work on his PhD in cosmology. Hawking's career has focused upon the cosmic entities known as black holes, and has extended to specialized areas such as quantum gravity, particle physics, and supersymmetry.
Stephen Hawking one of the greatest physicist was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford,England. Surprisingly he was born on the 300 hundredth anniversary of Galileo. Hawking’s parents lived in Highgate during the attack of the world war II and the black out in London. For a more guarded and secure place his mother Isobel decided to give birth in Oxford, England.(Hawking.org) During this time money was very little for the Hawkings because of the war. Everything was hard for them at this time especially when raising a family. While Stephen was growing up the Hawkings were oddly different from him, during dinner time in most occasions they were often reading a book. They were recognized as being highly intelligent and very clever people. Besides for Stephen he was the more normal one in the family. Hawking at a young was recognized as being bright and his mother would say how he had a strong sense of wonder, “stars would always draw his attention,”she quoted. Yet he wouldn’t take his school work seriously. (biography.com) He was ranked no more than halfway up in his class and also struggled with reading. (Ferguson, pg.20) Even though, him and a couple of friends would solve mathematical equations together it took his friends hours to solve about 2 problems out of 10 but on the other hand, he would rush downstairs in minutes and have completed already 5 (biography.com)
