A Brief Note On The Ice Bucket Challenge

Stephen Hawkings was from Hampshire, England. He was baptized on April 30, 1581 at Upper Clatford, Hampshire. He was the son of John and Elizabeth (nee Williams) Hopkins. He was married twice during his life, to Mary (surname unknown) and Elizabeth Fisher. Between the two of his wives Stephen had ten children. He died in 1644, where he was buried next to his wife.

Stephen King was born on September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine to Donald and Nellie King. Early on he showed an interest in horror being fascinated by Treasure Island, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Creature from the Black Lagoon and became passionate about writing (Stephen King Biography). However, his parents split up when he was very young

Born January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England Stephen William Hawking was not quite the extraordinary mind that he is known as today (Witherbee 1). He was the son of Frank and Isabella Hawking, who were of modest means and were the first among their own families to make more of themselves; Frank was the first to attend college, graduating from Oxford with his degree in medicine (Eicher 2). Both parents knew the importance of education and adventure, pushing their children to strive for excellence and do better for themselves than they had (Witherbee 1). Stephen came into the world during World War II, in the midst of the Nazi blitz bombings throughout England (Eicher 2). Some of his earliest

In Portland, Maine, on September 21st, 1947, Stephen Edwin King was born to Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. Stephen and his older brother David (his only sibling) spent their time in either Connecticut or Indiana (as a result of their parents' divorce) until their mother moved them to Maine. There, he graduated from Lisbon Falls High School (1966) before attending the University of Maine. After graduating with

Thank you for your post. I do agree with you, ALS patients should not be charged to participate in a clinical trial.

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. His parents lived in north London, though during the second world war Oxford was more secure than north England. When Hawking was eight he moved to St. Albans. At the age of eleven Hawking went to St. Albans school. Hawkings father, Frank Hawking, was a biologist, his mother, Isobel Hawking, was a political activist. Stephen also had

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8th, 1942, in Oxford, England. It is said that in his early years he had a passion for the sky and the sciences. In his academic life he was not an exceptional student. Stephen Hawking desired to study mathematics, but Oxford did not offer a degree in that field. He decided to study physics, but more specifically, cosmology. Hawking did not put much time into his studies. In 1962 Hawking graduated with honors in natural science and went to attend Trinity Hall at Cambridge University for a PHD in cosmology. Hawking started noticing symptoms of ALS while he was at Oxford. Hawking had to stay home after he saw a doctor about his symptoms. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS and was informed

On 12 August 1887, Schrödinger was born in Vienna, Austria, to Rudolf Schrödinger (cerecloth producer, botanist) and Georgine Emilia Brenda (daughter of Alexander Bauer, Professor of Chemistry, Technische Hochschule Vienna). He was their only child.

The quote, “look up at the stars, not down at your feet,” spoken by Stephen Hawking at the Sydney Opera House, sums up Hawking’s life in one sentence. Despite having amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Hawking survived nearly fifty years with the disease until he died on March 14th, 2018. In the time period of him having the disease, he has made several large contributions to the field of science, and cosmology. The changes and influence Stephen Hawking has made will likely change the whole world for the better.

Stephen Hawking changed history in so many different ways. Physically with his appearance and motor skills, Hawking seemed an unlikely subject to be on the popular sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” surrounded by film stars and rock musicians such as Jim Parson and Kaley Cuoco. Sadly, his body has been destroyed by the terrible effects

No one lives free from suffering and pain. In life, everyone struggles although sometimes it seems that some individuals do not, especially recognized celebrities and famous historical figures . However upon further examination , it is obvious that many famous men and women have , endured or have overcome obstacles and have managed to achieve fame in spite of them. One such individual as Stephen Hawkings who, even though he had ALS (short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and other struggles in his personal life, still managed to achieve greatness as a well renowned theoretical physicist and as the man who discovered black holes do

This event allowed him to reshape our thinking about the black hole and how the universe begun. Around 1970, in collaboration with Penrose, they published a paper that tackle about the general relativity implies the theory that the universe was created a singularity. He was able to discover that black hole production and releases radiation and can be detected by a special instrument. The radiation is called “Hawking Radiation” and it was named after him. He also found out that black hole can’t get any smaller but instead, black hole is only increasing it’s size. By his discoveries, we were able to have a better understanding about the creation of the universe. Also by his discoveries about the black hole, we were able to study black holes in the

Hawking had kept these symptoms to himself. But when his father started to notice of his condition he took Hawking to see a doctor. For the next two weeks hawking made his home at a medical clinic where he went through a series of tests. Doctors did inform the Hawkings family about what was happening to their son. He was in the early stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig 's disease) the nerves that controlled his muscles were shutting down. Doctors gave him two and a half years to live. However somethings prevented him from becoming completely hopeless. The first of these came while Hawking was still in the hospital there he shared a room with a boy suffering from leukemia. Hawking later reflected his situation seemed more tolerable. Not too long after he was released from the hospital Hawking had a dream that he was going to be executed. He said this dream made him realize that there were still things to do with his life. At a New Year 's party in 1963 shortly before he had been diagnosed with ALS, Hawking met a young languages undergraduate named Jane Wilde. They were married in 1965. Hawking 's disease helped him become the noted scientist he is today before the diagnosis Hawking hadn 't always focused on his studies. "Before my condition was diagnosed I had been very bored with life," he said. "There had not seemed to be anything worth doing."

Today as Stephen Hawking is 72 years young, “Hawking 's work on black holes and the origins of the universe guarantees him a place in the scientific pantheon, but his ability to pursue scientific work despite the ravages of ALS (Lou Gehrig 's disease) have earned him superstar status.”(Kirkus,1) This gives us an insight into Hawking 's identity as of the very motivated nature of Hawking and how he never quits at the sight of adversity. Weather in the face of a dangerous disease or difficult deduction. Hawking always finds the drive to keep going, which seldom other people possess. Hawking’s dilemma to start working on a 5 year Doctorate degree when he was diagnosed with only have 2 years to live is a mark of his true dedication to his first love science. However like all individuals, Hawking’s identity was not just a result of a single moment it was created for a life time of experiences and challenges.

Stephen Hawking. A bright student, a brilliant physicist, a brave man. The life of Hawking is full of ups and downs, peaks and valleys, enlightened intelligence, and devastating disabilities. (I’m still working on this bit)
