Contribution of Stephen hawking 18 October 2011 Stephen Hawking is a genius. He became a leading figure in cosmology and quantum mechanics in a short period of time. He did this while battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He is mostly known for his work in developing the understanding of the way black holes behave‚ as well as the origins of the universe. He was popularized when A Brief History of Time was released‚ which described his life and what he had accomplished. Hawking was gifted in

Stephen Hawking started his studies at Cambridge University. He began to study cosmology but later then realized that was not the path he wanted to go down. Eventually he became a professor of theoretical physics. By the age of 21‚ Hawking contracted ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)‚ a neurological disease that is incurable and very fatal. ALS eats your nervous system very slowly. From then until now‚ Hawking has defied this disease and is still alive to this day. Hawking has a family‚ and three

A Brief History of Time” is a book that was published by famous physicist Stephen Hawking‚ whom in this novel talks about the ideas or theories of physicists in a way that we can understand. It also explains how the universe exists and how we perceive it going into lively detail. There are as I said multiple topics he discusses such as how the universe works. In chapter 1 he talks about Aristotle’s theory on how he thought the earth was a sphere and not just a flat surface. “If the earth had been
