who is stephen hawkings ?

Answer 1

A great physicist and quantum theorist that wrote one of the most important books of our century, "a brief timetable of history"

he is paralyzed and in a wheelchair because he is suffering from some disease but he has become a celebrity in the academic world as of late because he is still going strong and moving forward.

Answer 2

Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century. One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.

His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel. Stephen Hawking has two popular books published; his best seller A Brief History of Time, and his later book, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays.

Professor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982, and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989. He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes and is a Fellow of The Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences.

Answer 3

"I'm a theoretical physicist and the Lucasian Professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. I've continued my career there, despite enduring severe disability caused by motor neurone disease (specifically, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). My 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, became a best-seller and brought my work in physics to a broader group so that all people could learn from it, rather than just academics."
