Stephen William Hawking worked as a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author, and research director at the University of Cambridge's Center for Theoretical Cosmology. His main research interests were in theoretical cosmology and the universe's evolution guided by the laws of general relativity. His contribution to black hole science has received the most attention. He was the first to propose a cosmology based on general relativity and quantum mechanics with the theoretical prediction that black holes emit "Hawking radiation". Hawking had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a rare and life-threatening disease throughout his adult life. When he was 21, he pursued his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge when his health took a turn for the worse. He was virtually fully paralyzed for most of his later life and communicated through a speech-generating device.
Hawking did not succumb to illness's hopelessness; instead, he dedicated his life to his profession and study. He was an Extraordinary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University for more than three decades. He was given Command of the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to studying the universe and strength and capacity in cosmology.
Hawking was not an excellent student early in his academic career, although he was acknowledged as intelligent. In his first year at St. Albans School, he was third from the bottom of his class. On the other hand, Hawking focused on activities outside the school; He enjoyed board games and invented his own with a few close friends. Hawking and his friends built a computer from recycled components to solve basic mathematical problems as a young man.
Hawking began his studies at Oxford University's University College when he was seventeen. Although he displayed an interest in studying mathematics, Oxford did not offer a degree in that field. Thus, Hawking moved on to physics, particularly cosmology. Hawking came to the University of Cambridge in 1979, where Lucasian, a 1663 professor of mathematics, held one of the most prestigious academic positions.
In 1982, Hawking received the "Commander of the Order of the British Empire." Many prestigious prizes have been bestowed upon him throughout the years, including "the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society," "the Paul Dirac Medal," and many more.
Hawking has won several prizes, including the Wolf Prize, Her Highness Companion of Honor, the Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize, the Copley Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Russian Fundamental Physics Prize, among many others.
Hawking died at his Cambridge home on 14 March 2018, at 76. He "died softly," according to his relatives. Statistics in science, entertainment, politics, and other sectors admired him. Students and guests signed a book of sympathy as the flags of Gonville and Cayce College were flown at half-mast. During the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games closing ceremony in Pyongyang, South Korea, Hawking was recognized during a speech by IPC President Andrew Parsons.
The inscriptions "What was Stephen Hawking's mortal of 1942-2018" and "What was Stephen Hawking's most famous equation" is carved onto the stone. At least fifteen years before his death, he anticipated that the Beckenstein-Hawking entropy equation would be his epitaph. Hawking's remarks, arranged to music by Greek musician Vangelis, were sent into orbit from Spain's European Space Agency satellite dish in June 2018 to reach the closest black hole, 1A 0620-00.
