Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was a renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist born in 1942 in Oxford, England. He received numerous prestigious awards for his work in quantum gravity and general relativity, including the Albert Einstein Award. In the 1970s, Hawking proposed the presence of singularities in space and helped develop the theory of the Big Bang. He also formulated four laws of black hole dynamics in the 1980s. Hawking spent much of his career developing a theory of quantum gravity and exploring ideas like the wave function of the universe. Though diagnosed with ALS at a young age and given only a few years to live, Hawking survived for decades, making major contributions to our understanding of relativity, black holes, and the origin and fate of the universe.

Stephen Hawking

ABOUT HIM:
Born in 1942(AGE 74)
Oxford ,England
FIELDS WORKED IN:
Quantum gravity
General relativity
NOTABLE AWARDS:
Albert Einstein Award
Presidential Medal of Freedom
FRS
Adams Price
And 18 other awards

1970s
He proposed the presence of singularity in space.
Later it was proved by the research of both hawking and penrose.
It later ended in the theory of BIG BANG.

1980s
He then postulated four laws on black hole dynamics
Properties of mass, electrical charge and rotation

Wave Function of the universe


Hawking spent most of his time trying to develop a
quantum theory of gravity
IN 1983 teaming up Jim hartel proposed Wave Function
He was the first to show quantum fluctuations during
inflation which may result in the arise of galaxies

NASA
He worked as a cosmologist in the program
REACHING STARS
The program resulted in the findings of
habitable planets in space with the help of
a space telescope HUBBLE
As a result of the programme ,upto 2013 ,
40 billion earth sized planets have been
found and 11 billion orbiting like sun-like
stars.

GREATEST FINDING
He was the first one to discuss and prove
about relative time.
He wrote a book A BRIEF HISTORY OF
TIME
10 million copies in 20 years
He stated time may differ in space and
explained about wormholes and blackholes

DISABILITY
He suffered from
ALS(amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis)
It paralyzed him before
completing his higher
education
The doctors gave him a life
expectancy of 2 years at the
age of 21
But he survived and his speech
is only understood by his close
friends and family

TV SERIES AND FILMS


Tv Series named Into the universe with
Stephen hawking
Hawking a documentary about his research in
2013
The theory of everything a film about his life
in 2014 won an Oscar award,BAFTA,Golden
Globe,Screen Actors Guild
awards,AAFCA,ASCAP,Grammy awards,IFMCA
and 9 more.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not


ignorance,
IT IS THE ILLUSION OF KNOWLEDGE
