	Hawking biography
		Hawking wanted to specialise in mathematics in his last couple of years at school where his mathematics teacher had inspired him to study the subject.
		Hawking had noticed that he was becoming rather clumsy during his last year at Oxford and, when he returned home for Christmas 1962 at the end of his first term at Cambridge, his mother persuaded him to see a doctor.
		In 1979 Hawking was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.

	Stephen Hawking - MSN Encarta
		Stephen Hawking, born in 1942, British theoretical physicist and mathematician whose main field of research has been the nature of space and time, including irregularities in space and time known as singularities.
		Hawking was born in Oxford, England, and he showed exceptional talent in mathematics and physics from an early age.
		Hawking proposed that when a particle pair is created near a fl hole, one half of the pair might disappear into the fl hole, leaving the other half to radiate away from the fl hole.

	The Hawking of Stephen Hawking
		Hawking's efforts to control his identification with the cyborg are thus disrupted by those feminists since Donna Haraway who have called for the embrace of the cyborg as a quintessentially postmodern, posthuman figure that offers a potentially liberating model, especially for women.
		Hawking has said that this is one of the two stories in the film that make him "squirm," despite the fact that in the film he emphasizes that he was back at work in a few days.
		Hawking is central rather than marginal to the film, it is his story that is narrated, and much of that story is told in his words and in ways that are shaped and controlled by him, at least indirectly.

	Hawking, Stephen William. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In 1962 Hawking was diagnosed as having an incurable muscular disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
		In 1971 Hawking provided mathematical support for the big-bang theory of the origin of the universe; he showed that if the general theory of relativity was correct the universe must have a singularity, or starting point, in space-time.
		Hawking proposed in 1981 that although the universe has no boundary, it is finite in space-time; he collaborated with James Hartle to formulate this mathematically in 1983.

	Stephen Hawking and the No Boundary Proposal
		Hawking has de-mystified the fl hole, offered proof that time had to have begun from a singularity at the big bang, and written books so enjoyable that he has managed to educate much of the world about modern physics and cosmology.
		Hawking's theory is the first cosmological model of the universe with a second reference of time which has no beginning or end.
		I sometimes think Stephen Hawking is being held back, he is way ahead of everyone else, and so primarily alone and unsupported concerning the issue of an imaginary time reference.

		Stephen’s great politeness paradoxically made me ill at ease; I was acutely aware of the many demands on his time, and, after all, I had just stopped by to talk shop.
		Stephen had been using a mathematical device in which time is replaced, as a notational convenience, by something called imaginary time.
		Stephen likes the tug of the philosophical, and he seemed amused by the notion that universes are simply one of those things that happen from time to time.

	Stephen Hawking Biography from Who2.com
		He's an expert on fl holes whose stated intention is to unify quantum mechanics with Einstein's general theory of relativity, forming a single theory to explain the origin (and end) of the universe.
		Hawking, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, is the author of the best-selling book A Brief History of Time and something of a celebrity: he has made guest appearances on the TV shows Star Trek and The Simpsons.

	CNN.com - Stephen Hawking rejects abuse claims - Jan. 23, 2004
		Famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said Friday that allegations he was abused are "completely false," but his ex-wife urged police to investigate reports that he suffered a series of unexplained injuries.
		An inquiry was triggered by nursing staff who contacted police in the summer after Hawking -- who is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair -- was left stranded in his garden on the hottest day of the year and suffered severe heatstroke and sunburn.
		Citing news reports that Hawking has suffered mysterious injuries including a broken wrist, gashes to the face and a cut lip, his ex-wife, Jane, said by telephone that she had long suspected he was being assaulted.

	Stephen Hawking's Cosmology and Theism
		Stephen Hawking has recently argued that there is 'no place for a creator', that God does not exist.
		Hawking's wave function law enables the probabilistic history of the universe to be calculated once the initial state of the universe is known.
		Hartle and Hawking may have believed that in the actual world, the universe begins uncaused, but this proposition is not entailed by their wave function law.

	Professor Stephen Hawking biography quote
		Hawking's father wanted him to study medicine at Oxford but he was more interested in Mathematics and it eventually transpired that in 1959 he began to study Physics, as University College, which was his father's old college, did not offer degree courses in Mathematics.
		In 1985 Hawking was unfortunate in contracting a bout of pneumonia that necessitated a tracheotomy operation which removed his powers of speech.
		Stephen Hawking continues to combine family life (he has three children and grandchildren are arriving), and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel and public lectures.
