Stephen William Hawking, one of the great men with international reputation in this century, is called the greatest scientist alive. At the age of 65, he was born on the 3th anniversary of Galileo's death. He is a professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Cambridge University and the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist. In the 197s, he and Penrose proved the famous singularity theorem, for which they won the Wolff Prize for Physics in 1988. He is therefore known as the most famous scientific thinker and the most outstanding theoretical physicist in the world after Einstein.

He also proved the area theorem of black holes. Hawking's life is very legendary, and he is one of the most outstanding scientists in history in scientific achievements. His position is the most lofty professorship in the history of Cambridge University, and that is the Lucason professor of mathematics who was once held by Newton and Dirac. He holds several honorary degrees and is a member of the Royal Society.

He suffered from Lugar's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and was confined to a wheelchair for 4 years. However, he was physically and mentally disabled and turned it into an advantage, overcoming his disability and becoming a supernova in the international physics community. He can't write or even slur his words, but he transcends the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang and enters the "geometric dance" to create the universe. Although he was so helpless in a wheelchair, his thoughts traveled brilliantly to the vast space-time and solved the mystery of the universe.

Hawking's charm lies not only in his legendary physical genius, but also in his convincing life strength. His scientific spirit of constant pursuit and his brave and tenacious personality strength deeply attracted everyone who knew him.

Stephen? William? Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942 (the 3th anniversary of Galileo's death). His parents used to live in the north of London, but during World War II, Oxford was considered a safer place to have children. When he was eight years old, his family moved to San? Albens, a small town 2 miles north of London. At the age of eleven, Stephen went to St.? Albens went to school, and then went to Oxford's "University College"-the college where his father went. Although his father wants him to study medicine, he wants to study mathematics. But the university college didn't offer mathematics major, so he chose to study physics. After studying in university college for three years, he was awarded a first-class honorary degree in natural science without much effort. Then Stephen went to Cambridge to do cosmology research. At that time, no one was engaged in cosmology research in Oxford. His tutor is Dennis? Sima, although he had hoped that Fred? Hoyle, Sir Fred was his mentor, Ferede? Hoyle, Sir Fred was working at Cambridge. After receiving his doctorate, he was in Gunville? Seth College did research assistance first, and then did career research. In 1973, Stephen left the School of Astronomy and went to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Since 1979, Stephen has been a professor of mathematics at Lukes. This position was established in 1663 according to Leflund? Henry? Luke's will was made with money left by Luke? The fund created it. Luke used to be a British MP at the university. The first person to get the position of "Lux" professor of mathematics was Yitzhak? Barlow, then Yitzhak? Newton. Stephen? Hawking has been engaged in the study of the basic laws of the universe. With Roger? Together with Penrose, he found that Einstein's general theory of relativity implied that space and time began at the singularity of the Big Bang and ended in a black hole. These results show that it is necessary to combine general relativity with quantum theory, which is another scientific development in the first half of the twentieth century. One consequence of such a combination he found was that black holes should not be completely black, and they radiate outward and eventually evaporate and disappear. Another speculation is that the universe has no edge in the imagined time, and it is infinite. This will mean that the way the universe is formed is completely determined by the laws of science. His published works include: Large-scale Structure of Time and Space with G.F.R Ellis, General Relativity: Einstein's View of the Century with W Israel and 3 Years of Gravity with W Israel. Stephen? Hawking has two best-sellers: his best-seller-A Brief History of Time, and later Black Hole, baby universes and Others. Professor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees. He was awarded CBE in 1982 and honorary partner in 1989. He has won many awards, bonuses and medals. He is a member of the Royal Society and the National Academy of Sciences. Stephen? Hawking continued to combine his family life (he has three children and one grandchild), his theoretical physics research with extensive travel and lectures.

Although Hawking's physical disability is becoming more and more serious, he tries to live like an ordinary person and accomplish everything he does. He is even lively and active-it sounds a little funny. After he is completely unable to move, he still has the only movable finger to drive the wheelchair to "rampage" on the way to the office; When he met with Prince Charles, he turned his wheelchair to show off and ran over Prince Charles' toes.
