Stephen Hawking was a world well - known scientist and expert on space and time. During his lifetime, Hawking was researching some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end? These questions are very hard for us to understand, but they are important and can tell us a lot about the universe.
Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8 January 1942. He went to school in a small city near London. As he himself admitted, he wasn’t very serious about studying. He did very little work, and was never top of his class. However, he still achieved good marks. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University to study Physics. Then he went to Cambridge University to study Cosmology (宇宙学).
Then, at the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn’t communicate except by blinking (眨眼). He sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer (音响合成器). Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams (图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures.
Although Hawking was a disabled man, he made great achievements. In 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He received many awards for his work, including the Albert Einstein Award—the highest achievement in Physics.
“I’ve had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful in my work ... Life is not fair. You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”
