Stephen Hawking : The Cleverest Man
in The World
 Stephen William Hawking CBE (Oxford,
January 8, 1942) is a physicist, cosmologist
and science writer in the UK.
He is a member of the Royal Society of

London, of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences
and National Academy of Sciences of the
United States.
He held the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics,
University of Cambridge until his retirement
in 2009. Among the many honors that have
been granted, Hawking has been honored
with twelve honorary doctorates and has been
awarded the OBE (grade ECB) in 1982,
, with the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord
in 1989 and the Copley Medal in 2006.
Books Of Stephen Hawking
Physicist Stephen Hawking addition,
cosmologist and science writer in the UK also
wrote books, here I leave some examples:
 A Brief History of Time
 Black Holes and small universes and other
essays.
 The Universe in a nutshell, recently in 2001
 A Briefer History of Time, recently in 2005.
His studies
Her parents lived in London, and was in that city where his
father was devoted to medical research. During World War II
London was a dangerous place, and Stephen's mother was
sent to the city of Oxford, where he was born. The family
soon returned to High gate, north London, where Stephen
began his studies.
In 1950 his father moved to the Institute of Medical Research

in Mill Hill. Stephen attended the Institute for girls of St
Albans (admitting children up to age 10 years) and 11 years
changed to the College namesake. His father wanted him to
submit to the call for scholarship to Westminster Public
School, however Stephen was ill during the exams.
His studies I
 In March 1959 Hawking was presented to the announcements
of grants for the purpose of studying natural sciences at
Oxford, gets a scholarship, and graduated in Physics in 1962.
From Oxford, Hawking moved to Cambridge to begin
research in general relativity and cosmology, a difficult area
for someone with little mathematical background. At that
time, Hawking had noticed that he had become increasingly
awkward and physically weak, and on Christmas Day 1962 his
mother persuaded him to see a doctor.
In early 1963, spent two weeks becoming evidence in the

hospital, where he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease:
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease.
His studies II
His condition deteriorated rapidly, and doctors
predicted she would not live long enough to finish his
doctorate. However, Hawking wrote:
"Although there was a cloud over my future, I

discovered to my surprise I was enjoying life in this
more than they had before. I started moving in my
research“. He continued his research because he found
the stimulus to meet a girl he wanted to marry and
realized he had to finish his PhD to get a better job.
His studies III
"So I started working for the first time in my life. To my surprise I
discovered that I liked"

According to Stephen Hawking, black holes violate the second law of
thermodynamics, which led to speculations about travel in space-
time and gusanoTras holes to finish his doctorate in 1966, Hawking
was awarded a scholarship at Cambridge. At first his work was as a
researcher, but later became a professor. In 1973, he left the
Institute of Astronomy and joined the Department of Applied
Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge. He was Professor
of Gravitational Physics at Cambridge in 1977. In 1979 Hawking was
appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge,
Newton's chair at Cambridge, honor also shared by Dirac.
His studies IV
Between 1965 and 1970 Hawking worked specifically in the theory of
general relativity devising new mathematical techniques to study it.
Much of his work was done in collaboration with Roger Penrose.
Since 1970, Hawking began to apply his ideas prior to the study of
black holes and discovered a remarkable property: using the
quantum theory and general relativity was able to show that black
holes can emit radiation. To confirm the success made him work
from that time on the unification of both general relativity and
quantum theory. In 1971 Hawking investigated the creation of the
universe and predicted that, after the Big Bang, created many
supermassive objects (about 109 ton) the size of a proton. These
mini-black holes possess a controlled gravitational general
relativity also governed by laws of quantum mechanics that would
apply to small items.
