Bibliografía de Stephen William Hawking

(Stephen William Hawking; Oxford, 1942 - Cambridge, 2018)

Stephen Hawking was born in the city of Oxford in the United Kingdom, on January 8, 1942.
He was a British scientist, considered the heir of Einstein, dedicated himself to the study of
black holes and relativity in general.
Son of Frank Hawking, a researcher in the area of biology, and Isabel. He had two brothers,
Philippa Mary and Edward, who was adopted by the marriage. Following the siege and
attacks of the Nazi Air Force, Stephen's parents had to leave London and settle in Oxford,
for this reason he was born in this place.
After the birth of their son, the family returned to London, in 1950 they moved to St.
Albans and there he began his primary and secondary studies. Later he began his
professional training at the university where his father also studied, at the University
College of Oxford, leaning towards physics.
He focused his studies in the area of thermodynamics, relativity and quantum mechanics.
In 1962 he graduated and continued his postgraduate studies at Trinity Hall, Cambridge,
obtaining a PhD in 1966 in Theoretical Physics and Cosmology.
A difficult situation that Stephen faced was his disease, in 1963 he was diagnosed,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, a degenerative
pathology, which far from reducing it, encouraged him to continue with his life, he married
in 1965, with Jane Wilde, with whom he had three children; Lucy, Timothy and Roberth.
In 1990 and after twenty-five years of marriage, they decided to divorce. Love smiled at him
again and it was like this, as he married Elaine Mason; one of the nurses who cared for him
and with whom he remained married, until 2007.
His life gradually began to present limitations due to sclerosis, but his intellectual work did
not stop, it began to increase considerably, becoming in a short time one of the scientists
and researchers in the world, with more popularity after Einstein.
This disease was progressive, his lower extremities began to paralyze, then the rest of his
body, unfortunately pneumonia also affected him to such an extent, that they had to
perform a tracheostomy and from then on, he lost the ability to speak. He depended on a
synthesizer and a wheelchair, 24 hours a day.
This great man did not decline and continued with the research, gave lectures, wrote 7
books related to black holes, the Big Bang and the universe in general; he also published
scientific papers.
Some works that this scientist and researcher left us as a legacy were:
Brief History of Time, The Theory of Everything, The Universe in a Nutshell, Black Holes and
Small Universes.
Some of the awards he received were:
In 1989, Prince of Asturias Award; in 1988, Wolf Prize in Physics; in 1978, Albert Einstein
Prize; in 1979, Albert Einstein Medal; in 2008, Fonseca Award, among many others.
He died on 14 March 2018, aged 76, in Cambridge.
