    BIOGRAPHY OF STEPHEN HAWKING          

   - A THEORY OF PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE -

This man is known for his contributions in the field of quantum physics, mainly because of his theories regarding the theories of cosmology, quantum gravity, black holes, and Hawking radiation.  One of his writings is A Brief History of Time, which was listed on the bestseller list on London Sunday Times for 237 consecutive weeks.  In 2010 Hawking with Leonard Mladinow compiled the book The Grand Design.  The following is a brief description of Stephen Hawking's biography.

  His full name is Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS born in Oxford, United Kingdom, January 8, 1942, is a theoretical physicist.  Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 to Dr.  Frank Hawking, a biologist, and Isobel Hawking.  He has two siblings, Philippa and Mary, and an adopted brother, Edward.  Hawking's parents lived in North London and moved to Oxford when Hawking's mother was pregnant with herself to find a safer place.  (London was under the German Luftwaffe attack).  After Hawking was born, their family returned to London.  His father then headed the parasitology division at the National Institute for Medical Research.  In 1950, Hawking and his family moved to St Albans, Hertfordshire.  There he attended school at St Albans High School for Girls from 1950 to 1953 (at that time, men could go to girls' schools up to the age of ten).  From the age of eleven, Hawking attended school at St Albans School.

  Hawking has always been interested in science.  He was inspired by his mathematics teacher named Dikran Throne to study mathematics at the university.  His father wanted Hawking to enter University College, Oxford, where his father had attended school.  Hawking then studied natural science.  He got a scholarship, and then specialized in physics.

  After receiving a B.A.  at Oxford in 1962, he remained to study astronomy.  He chose to leave when he learned that studying sunspots was not appropriate for him and Hawking was more interested in theory than observation.  Hawking then entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge.  He studied theoretical astronomy and cosmology.  Shortly after arriving in Cambridge, symptoms of amiotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that would make him lose almost all of his neuromuscular control began to appear.  In 1974, he was unable to eat or wake up alone.  His voice became unclear so that it could only be understood by people who knew him well.  In 1985, he contracted pneumonia and had to undergo a tracheostomy so he could not speak at all.  A Cambridge scientist created a device that allowed Hawking to write what he wanted to say on a computer, then it would be pronounced through a voice synthesizer.

  Despite experiencing tetraplegia (paralysis) due to amiotrophic lateral sclerosis, his scientific career has continued for more than forty years.  His books and public appearances make him the most famous academic celebrity and theoretical physicist in the world.

  Hawking believes that extraterrestrial life does exist, and he uses a mathematical basis for his assumptions.  "According to my mathematical brain, the numbers show that the existence of aliens is very rational. The biggest challenge is estimating what an alien is like."  He believes that aliens do not only exist on planets, but may also be in other places, such as stars or floating in wide space.  Hawking also warned that some alien species might have advanced civilizations and could threaten the Earth.  Relationships with such species can endanger all humanity.  He said, "If aliens visit us, the results will be the same as when Columbus landed in America, which did not end well for Native Americans".  Hawking also suggested, rather than trying to contact aliens, we should avoid contact with them.

  Hawking took an agnostic position in matters of religion.  He has used the word "God" (metaphorically) to describe the points in his books and speeches.  His ex-wife, Jane, stated during the divorce process that Hawking was an atheist.  Hawking stated that he was "not religious in common sense" and he believed that "the universe is governed by the laws of science. These laws might have been made by God, but God did not intervene to break the law."  Hawking compared religion and science in 2010, stating: "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it is proven."

  In September 2010, The Telegraph reported, "Stephen Hawking has stated that God is not the creator of the universe".  Hawking wrote in his book, The Grand Design, that "Because of laws such as gravity, the solar system can and will shape itself. Spontaneous creation is the reason why there is now something and not nothing, why the universe exists and we exist. There is no need  asking God to start everything and move the universe. "

  Hawking married Jane Wilde, a language student, in 1965. Jane Hawking took care of it until their divorce in 1991. They divorced due to Hawking's fame and increasing disability.  They have been blessed with three children: Robert (born 1967), Lucy (born 1969), and Timothy (born 1979).  Hawking then married his nurse, Elaine Mason (previously married to David Mason, Hawking's computer talk designer), in 1995. In October 2006, Hawking asked for a divorce from his second wife.

  When asked about his IQ in 2004, Hawking replied, "I don't know. The person who boasts of his IQ is a loser."
