• Born on 8 January 1942 in Oxford, England.
• Dad Frank and mom Isobel.
• 2 younger sisters and an adopted brother.
• House was in north London, but during the second world war they
moved to oxford.
• In 1950 , they moved to St.Albans, St.Albans High School for Girls, then
St.Albans School and then University College, Oxford.
• After receiving his B.A degree at Oxford on 1962, he stayed to study
astronomy.

• Almost as soon as he arrived at Camridge, he started developing
symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
• Supervisor was Dennis Sciama.
• After gaining his Ph.D. he became first a Research Fellow and later on a
Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.
• the Royal Society 1974, the Order of the British Empire
1982, Companion of Honour 1989
• Hawking is a member of of the Board of Sponsors of the Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists.
• In 1974, the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar
• Hawking's achievements were made despite the increasing paralysis
caused by the ALS.

• Hawking's principal fields of research are theoretical cosmology and
quantum gravity.
• In the late 1960s, new, complex mathematical model created from
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
• This led, in 1970, to Hawking proving the first of many singularity
theorems.
• He supplied a mathematical proof of John Wheeler's no-hair theorem
, that any black hole is fully described by the three properties of
mass, angular momentum, and electric charge.
• Along with Thomas Hertog at CERN, in 2006 Hawking proposed a
theory of "top-down cosmology„

• Hawking's many other scientific investigations have included the study
of quantum cosmology, cosmic inflation, helium production in
anisotropic Big Bang universes, large N cosmology, the density matrix
of the universe, topology and structure of the universe, baby
universes, Yang-Mills instantons and the S matrix, anti de Sitter
space, quantum entanglement and entropy, the nature of space and
time, including the arrow of time, spacetime foam, string
theory, supergravity, Euclidean quantum gravity, the gravitational
Hamiltonian, Brans-Dicke and Hoyle-Narlikar theories of
gravitation, gravitational radiation, and wormholes.

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes known as Lou Gehrig's
disease.
• Symptoms of the disorder first appeared while he was enrolled at
University of Cambridge
• The diagnosis of motor neurone disease came when Hawking was 21
