Stephen William Hawking was born 8^th of January 1942, is a British theoretical physicist. Hawking is the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He is known for his contributions to the fieldsof cosmology and quantum gravity, especially in the context of black holes and big bang theory and his popular works in which he discusses his own theories including cosmology in general. These include the popular science bestseller A Brief History of Time, which stayed on the London Sunday Times bestseller list for a record breaking 237 weeks.

After receiving his B.A degree at Oxford University in 1962, he stayed to study astronomy, deciding to leave when he found that studying sunspots, which was all the observatory was equipped for, didn’t appeal to him and that he was more interested in theory than in observation. He left Oxford for Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he engaged in the study of theoretical astronomy and cosmology.

Almost as soon as he arrived at Cambridge, he started developing symptoms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a type of motor neuron disease which would cost him the loss of almost all neuromuscular control.

During his first two years at Cambridge, he did not distinguish himself, but after the disease had stabilized and with the help of his doctoral tutor, Dennis William Sciama, he returned to working on his Ph.D. Hawking was elected as one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society in 1974, was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1982, and became a Companion of Honour in 1989. Prof. Hawking is a member of the Board of Sponsors of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

In January 2007 on his 65^th birthday, Hawking announced his intention to travel to space on board a spacecraft, sponsored by the aerospace company’s owner.
