- Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England, coinciding with the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death.
- He attended St Albans School and later pursued physics at University College, Oxford, earning a first-class honors degree in Natural Science in 1962.
- Hawking conducted research in cosmology at Cambridge and became the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a position once held by Isaac Newton.
- Despite living with motor neurone disease, he made significant contributions to understanding black holes and the universe's origins, and authored the bestseller "A Brief History of Time."
- In 2007, Hawking experienced zero-gravity on a spaceflight, and he communicated through a computer using an infra-red "blink switch" due to his paralysis.
Childhood and Education of Stephen Hawking
Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England.
when he was eight, his family moved to St Albans,aa town about 20 miles north of London.at eleven Stphen went to St Albans School, sasew and then on to University College, Oxford, where he did Phisics.

He published a Brief History of Time, a bestseller of popular science.Although ha has had motor neurone disease for all his adult life and is now almost completely paralysed, Sthephen Hawking continues to combine family life (he has three children and one grandchild), and his research intotheoretical physics.
In April 2007 he took a zero-gravity spaceflight and could move freely without his wheelchair after 40 years. he now communicates through an infra-red "blink switch" with his computer.
"I have been lucky, that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope" he says.
