English theoretical physicist, who is one of the world leaders in their field.
His main areas of research are theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity.
Hawking is the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University (previously held by Sir Isaac Newton).
Afflicted with Lou Gehrig's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS), Hawking is confined to a wheelchair and is unable to speak without assistance of a computer speech synthesizer.
However, despite its challenges, he used his intelligence, knowledge and skills to make outstanding contributions to the field of cosmology (the study of the universe as a whole). Hawking wrote the book A Brief History of Time.
Released the first trailer for the film on Stephen Hawking
The first trailer of the film on the life of Stephen Hawking was released on Wednesday. The film will be called The Theory of Everything (Theory of Everything) and will be directed by James Marsh, known as The Juggling.
The plot deals with the romance of the English physicist, played by Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables and Seven Days with Mariyn), with Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones, of The Amazing Spider-Man 2), art student and his colleague at the University of Cambridge, and the diagnosis given when he was 21. Lou Gehrig's disease (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
The film is scheduled to debut on January 2, 2015 in the UK. Currently 72 years, Hawking is considered one of the most famous scientists since Einstein.
Hawking is the eldest son of an eccentric family who ran a taxi and going on vacation in Old fashioned travel trailer. It was created in an environment of much reading, with many dinners in which family silent, leaned on the books.
Just as Einstein, who is often compared, Hawking went through elementary school without highlight. It was the third worst in the class.
But like many physicists, was obsessed by the universe and its most fundamental issues, such as the beginning and end.
When I finally signed up for selection exam at the University of Oxford has been accepted with a scholarship. During the university period, from 1962, Hawking has devoted much of his time leading the rowing team. Despite the little attention devoted to graduation, got a scholarship to study a doctorate in Cambridge.
During the first year, 21, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative disease that paralyzed every movement of your body over the years.
The doctors gave Hawking only two years of life.
Nevertheless, he did not give up his career and, in 1979, came to occupy the chair of Lucasian Professor - name given to a chair of mathematics at Cambridge - occupied by none other than Sir Isaac Newton,
In 2007, Hawking attended a flight on a Boeing 727. antigravity Experience gives passengers the feeling of zero gravity, as if in space. Physical loved the flight.
