English theoretical physicist and cosmologist
Born: January 8, 1942
Died: March 14, 2018
Stephen Hawking (1942–2018) was a renowned theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, born in Oxford, England. Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21, Hawking defied the odds and continued his groundbreaking work despite his physical limitations. His contributions to theoretical physics and cosmology, particularly his work on black holes and the nature of the universe, have left an indelible mark on the scientific community.
Hawking’s best-known book, “A Brief History of Time” (1988), became a global bestseller, bringing complex scientific concepts to a wider audience. He held the prestigious Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a position once held by Sir Isaac Newton. Despite his physical challenges, Hawking communicated using a computerized speech synthesizer and became a symbol of resilience and determination.
His scientific achievements include the discovery of Hawking radiation, a theoretical prediction that black holes can emit radiation and gradually lose mass. Throughout his career, Hawking has received numerous awards and honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Stephen Hawking’s life and work continue to inspire and shape our understanding of the cosmos.
Stephen Hawking’s 5 most popular quotes
- I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
- We are all different, but we share the same human spirit. Perhaps it’s human nature that we adapt and survive.
- So next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.
- Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can’t be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution.
- It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life, and I haven’t done badly. People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
