Stephen Hawking

On January 8, 1942 Stephen Hawking was born in the city of Oxford. He had all the
years of school, around that time he was a boy of normal life, whose singularities
were only his brilliant intelligence and a great interest in science.

But in 1963, over the course of an ice skating session, young Stephen slipped and
struggled to get up. He was immediately diagnosed with a neuromuscular
degenerative disorder, the doctors assumed that the disease was going to end his
life in a few years; however, they were wrong. Naturally, Stephen's life was not the
same, but his physical limitations never interrupted his intellectual activity.

In October 1962 he had begun his doctoral studies at Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

While pursuing his doctorate he married Jane Wayline (1965), with whom he had
have three children. After almost twenty-five years of living together, in 1990 the
couple separated and the scientist went to live with Elaine Mason, one of the nurses
who cared for him and with whom he married five years later; This second
relationship would last until 2007. After obtaining the title of Doctor of Theoretical
Physics (1966), his passion for the study of the origin of the universe was increasing,
and his research focused on the field of general relativity, particularly in black hole
physics, first described by Robert Oppenheimer in 1939.
He continued with all his studies until March 14, 2018, unfortunately he passed away
