He was diagnosed with motor nurone disease at the age of 21 and currently occupies the same post at cambridge university as Isaac Newton. Also he's getting divorced for the second time at the minute!

Awe the days of homework! I am the queen of writing papers! In college, I wrote at least 30. Ugh.

Anyway, here are some sites you can use and site in the bibliography. Don't forget to site your sources and use endnotes. Email me with any questions.

Also, teaches LOVE when you get books in the library too. LOL

Start with Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Hawking
Then check the External Links at the end of the entry.

Or go to Answers.com: http://www.answers.com/topic/stephen-hawking

Then go to this Google search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-22,GGLG:en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=steven+hawking&spell=1

Try to rent the movie "'A Brief History of Time" which is more of a biography then a study of the book itself.

Stephen was a very intelligent Englishman who did poorly in college, he was more of a party animal, and he liked "Crew" serving on the thin rowing boats that race as the one that calls “stroke, stroke” while at Oxford. He also had a great affection for beer. Then the first signs of MS hit him and that turned he serious.

At one point in his life he had to make a decision to concentrate on physics or astrophysics. He was searching for a field that he could work in by just using thought experiments, so he chose astrophysics. He has yet to win a Nobel Prize, but many prize winners have used his work to help or inspire their own.

At first he believed in black holes, then he wasn't so sure, in fact he made a bet with a fellow scientist that black holes did NOT exist. Needless to say he was happy to lose the bet.

This site: http://aceviper.net/estimated_iq_of_famous_people.php
Estimates his IQ at only 160, the same as for Albert Einstein.

I first learned about him in the 1970's when Larry Niven, a hard science fiction writer, mentioned him in one of his books. He was predicting back then that the man would be the one to watch. This was back whey Stephen could still speak understandable English. Larry Niven herd him lecture at Berkeley in California. He can still speak, but it is so twisted and distorted that only those close to him can understand him.

He is a parody site of Wikipedia: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking
Here is a short report: http://www.earth360.com/sci-hawking.html

He got married, and then divorced his wife to marry his nurse, and now he is divorcing her. How does a wheel chair bound man that takes 30 minutes just to go to bed get so many women?

There is a rap group video made as a parody of him, and he said that it was flattering: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_74289.html.

A voice simulation program was written in the 1980s for the Atari computer and it sounds exactly like his voice speech software. I won’t say he has an Atari under that chair, but his software dates from back then.

If you could bring a computer to class then imagine a presentation where Stephen Hawking’s voice reads part of your report. Find the software here: http://www.fileplanet.com/130817/130000/fileinfo/Steven-Hawking-Announcer-Voice

Stephen Hawking objects to the British Play “God and Stephen Hawking”
http://physicsweb.org/articles/review/13/10/4
“He regards it as a "deeply offensive" invasion of his privacy, and has dismissed it as "a stupid and worthless play" (Physics World August p8).”

Here is an account of Steven Hawking’s first wife, Jane, from a British TV interview: http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/R/real_lives/hawking_t.html

Wikiaquote: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking
Has some of his famous quotes.

Check the end of the article: http://hisnibs.blogspot.com/2005/11/show-goes-on-for-stephen-hawking.html
On this website. It says that he doesn’t know his own IQ, he doesn’t like George Bush’s return to the Moon Program, and he has said that the Simpsons is the greatest show on American TV. Of course he stared in an episode of the Simpsons and was in the teaser of a Star Trek the Next Generation episode, playing poker with Mr. Data.
