Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 from Dr. partner. Frank Hawking, a biologist, and Isobel Hawking. He has two siblings, that is Philippa and Mary, and brother of adoption, parents Edward.Orang Hawking lives in North London and moved to Oxford when Hawking's mother was pregnant with her to find a safer place. (London was under attack German Luftwaffe). After Hawking was born, the family returned to London. His father then headed the division of parasitology at the National Institute for Medical Research. In 1950, Hawking and his family moved to St. Albans, Hertfordshire.

There he attended St. Albans High School for Girls from 1950 to 1953 (in those days, men can get into the girls' school until the age of ten years). From the age of eleven, Hawking goes to St. Albans

Stephen Hawking is a theoretical physicist. He was a Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University and a member of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He is known for his contributions in the field of quantum physics, especially because of his theories concerning the theory of cosmology, quantum gravity, black holes, and Hawking radiation. One of his writings is A Brief History of Time, which is listed on the London Sunday Times bestseller list for 237 consecutive weeks. In 2010 Hawking with Leonard Mladinow compile the book The Grand Design.

Despite having tetraplegia (paralysis) due to amyotrophic lateral amiotrofik, continued his scientific career for over forty years. The books and public appearances he made as a celebrity academic and theorists world-renowned physicist.

Hawking was always interested in science. He was inspired by his math teacher named Dikran Throne to study mathematics at university. His father wanted Hawking into University College, Oxford, where her father had attended. Hawking then studied natural science. He got a scholarship, and then specialize in physics.

Having received his B.A. at Oxford in 1962, he stayed to study astronomy. He chose to go to learn that studying sunspots and Hawking did not suit him more interested in theory rather than observation. Hawking then entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He studied theoretical astronomy and cosmology.

Soon after arriving in Cambridge, symptoms of amyotrophic lateral amiotrofik (ALS) which will make him lose almost all control neuromuskularnya began to emerge. In 1974, he was unable to eat or wake up alone. Her voice becomes clear that only can be understood by those who knew him well. In 1985, he was hit by pneumonia and tracheostomy should be done so that he can not speak at all. A Cambridge scientist makes a tool that allows Hawking to write what he wants to say to a computer, and then be articulated through a voice synthesizer '

Hawking believes that extraterrestrial life exists, and it uses a mathematical basis for his assumption. "According to matematisku brain, the figure shows that the existence of aliens is very rational. The biggest challenge is to predict what kind of aliens." He believes that aliens not only exist on the planets, but probably also elsewhere, such as stars or floating in the vast space. Hawking also warn that some alien species may have an advanced civilization and could threaten the Earth. Relationship with such a species could endanger the entire human race. He said, "If aliens are visiting us, the result will be the same as when Columbus landed in America, which did not end well for Native Americans". Hawking also suggested, rather than trying to contact aliens, we should avoid contact with

Hawking married to Jane Wilde, a language student, in 1965. Jane Hawking care of it until their divorce in 1991. They divorced because of the pressures of fame and increased disability Hawking. They have three children: Robert (born 1967), Lucy (born 1969), and Timothy (born 1979). Last Hawking married his nurse, Elaine Mason (formerly married to David Mason, a computer designer talk Hawking), in 1995. In October 2006, Hawking asked for a divorce from his second wife.

When asked about the IQ in 2004, Hawking replied, "I do not know. People who boast IQ is a loser."

Hawking takes an agnostic position on the issue of religion. He has used the word "God" (metaphorically) to illustrate points in his books and speeches. His ex-wife, Jane, said during divorce proceedings that Hawking is an atheist. Hawking said that he was "not religious in common sense" and he believes that "the universe is governed by the laws of science. The law may be made by God, but God did not intervene to break the law." Hawking to compare religion and science in 2010, stated: "There are fundamental differences between religions, based on authority, [and] science, based on observation and reason. Science is going to win because it's proven."

In September 2010, The Telegraph reported, "Stephen Hawking has stated that God is not the creator of the universe". Hawking writes in his book, The Grand Design, that "Due to a law like gravity, the solar system can and will form itself. Spontaneous Creation is the reason why there is now 'something' and not nothingness, why the universe exists and we exist. There is no need asking the Lord to start moving things and the universe. "
