ABOUT STEPHEN HAWKING
MARK MIKAIL
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942. He grew
up in a highly educated family. Both of his parents had attended Oxford
University and his father, Frank, was a medical researcher. Stephen enjoyed
math and science in school where he earned the nickname "Einstein." He
wanted to study math at university but Oxford didn't have a math degree at
the time so he chose physics and chemistry instead. Stephen found college
coursework to be very easy. He enjoyed being a member of the school's boat
club as well as classical music. After graduation, he went to Cambridge to
study for his PhD.
While Hawking was working on his PhD at Cambridge University, he began to
have health issues. His speech became slurred and he became very clumsy,
often dropping items or falling for no reason. After going through a series of
tests, doctors discovered that Hawking had a disease called ALS. At the time,
the doctors said he only had a few years to live.
Although Hawking was initially depressed over his diagnosis, he decided that
there were things he wanted to accomplish with his life. He began to study and
work harder than ever before. He wanted to earn his PhD before he died. Around
the same time, he met and fell in love with a girl named Jane Wilde. Between his
work and Jane, Hawking had a reason to live. Despite the initial grim diagnosis
from his doctors, Hawking has lived a full and productive life with the help of
science and modern medicine. Although he is confined to a wheelchair and
cannot talk, he can communicate using a touch pad computer and a voice
synthesizer.
Stephen also enjoyed writing books. In 1988 he published A Brief History in Time.
This book covered modern subjects on cosmology such as the big bang and black
holes in terms that could be understood by the average reader. The book became
very popular selling millions of copies and remaining on the London Sunday Times
best-seller list for four years. He has since written many more books including A
Briefer History in Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, and The Universe in a
Nutshell.
INTERESTING FACTS
 He was born on the 300th anniversary of the death of the famous
scientist Galileo.
 He hopes to travel to space one day and has trained with NASA on
their zero gravity aircraft.
 He has an IQ score of 160.
