Stephen Hawking has been considered to be more brilliant then Einstein. Hawking was born on January 8 1942 in Oxford, England on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. Is this a coincidence? After his studies at St. Albans School, he attended University College, Oxford. He wanted to study Mathematics, but because it was unavailable at Oxford, he concentrated on Physics and earned a degree in Natural Science three years later. Stephen went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology. After attaining his Ph.D., he became a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. He left the Institute of Astronomy to become a professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge. He has held the post of Lacasian Professor of Mathematics since 1979. In the early 1960's, Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with the dreadful disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (A.L.S.), an incurable degenerative neuromuscular disease, also known as Lou Gerhig's Disease. He has been paralyzed unable to use every muscle in his body. The only muscles he has use of are those around his eyes. This explains why Hawking has become a theoretician rather than a "hands-on" scientist. He spends hour after hour in his wheelchair pondering complex ideas and formulating mind bobbling equations in his head. .
Dr. Hawking's work is primarily in the field of general relativity and in particular on the physics of black holes. He uses his theory on the origin of black holes to help explain the creation of the universe. In 1971 he suggested the formation (following the big bang), of numerous objects containing as much as 1,000,000,000 tons of mass but occupying only the space of a proton. These objects, called mini- black holes, are unique in that because of their immense mass and gravity, they are ruled by the laws if relativity, while their minute size requires that the laws of quantum mechanics apply to them also.

Stephen Hawkings is the most honored physicist in out time.He has battled against what is known as Lou Gehrig's disease for some thirty years. Presently, he is unable to communicate without his computer, but Hawkings is still very active in the field. Stephen Hawkings was born on January 8, 1942 in oxford, England. ... During his work in Cambridge, Stephen Hawkings held the chair as Lucasian professor of mathematics which was once held by Newton. Hawking still clearly insists that what we think of as real time has a beginning at the Big Bang, some ten to twenty billion years ago. ...
With this stated, Hawking continues into the description of space and time. ... This leads Hawking to the explaining of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle. ... Hawking describes a wormhole as being a "shortcut" between two distant places in space. ... In the final topic of his book, Hawking talks about the unification of partial theories. ... Stephen Hawking has a sort of simplistic yet intelligible way of explaining theories. ...
In 1968, Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking submitted a research essay to the Gravity Research Foundation that would forever alter the path of theoretical physics. ... (Hawking, 41) Although many scientists still maintain that Max Plank's quantum mechanics theory is more fundamental than Einstein's theories of relativity, the numerous arguments presented in the paper as well as the results of Hawking's continuous work have set the precedent for researching the existence of distortions in the fabric of spacetime as the direct cause of the presence of force. ... (Hawking, 54) By a...
