Stephen Hawking was one of the most renowned scientists of our time.

He was born in Oxford,

England, on January 8, 1942. When he was just eight years old, his family moved to St. Albans,
Hertfordshire. Stephen Hawking began his schooling at the Byron House School in Highgate, London.
He later attended St. Albans School, where he developed a passion for mathematics and physics.
In 1959, Stephen Hawking was accepted into Oxford University to study natural science. However, he
soon realized that his true passion was physics. He transferred to the physics department and earned
his Ph.D. in cosmology.
During his time at Oxford, Stephen Hawking made several important discoveries in the field of
theoretical physics. In 1974, he published a paper on the nature of black holes. This work earned him
a place as one of the leading experts on black holes. In 1979, Stephen Hawking was appointed as the
Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. This is a position that was once
held by Isaac Newton. Throughout his career, Stephen Hawking made many important contributions
to the field of physics. In 1988, he published his best-selling book, A Brief History of Time. This book
explained complex theories in a way that was accessible to the general public.
On March 14, 2018, Stephen Hawking passed away at the age of 76. His legacy will continue to inspire
scientists and laypeople for generations to come.
