Stephen William Hawking was born in 1942 in the United Kingdom and unfortunately died in 2018.. He studied physics at the University of Oxford and later at the University of Cambridge. In 1963 he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a form of motor neurone disease.
In his best-selling book A Brief History of Time, Hawking
postulated that time is actually just another dimension and could be bent like
space.
Hawking had many accomplishments throughout his life. He served as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge from 1979 to 2009 and has made significant contributions to the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity research. In 2002 he became the first person to set out a theory about the Big Bang in which there was no need for a creator or any divine intervention whatsoever.
