Stephen Hawking is well known for being smart, despite his medical condition, but does anyone ever care to understand what he has contributed to education? Or what he has contributed to knowledge? No, because the only thing media shows us is how he is capable of many things, even though he is disabled. Many people have the issue of making that connection between what Hawking is known for, and what he has actually done to be who he is today. Hawking is a brilliant man, and he has, and will, continue contributing to education in the fields of math and science for as long as he is capable. Hawking was born January 8th, 1942 in Oxford, England. He is still living at the grand age of 75 years old. Early in his childhood, the stars and sky captured his attention-even though his father wanted his eldest son to pursue a medical career, just like him. He attended St. Albans School for his primary and secondary education. He was often at the bottom of his class due to the fact that he was very inattentive during school, and spent little time on his studies. Being at the bottom didn’t stop his desire for education as he trudged on and was admitted into Oxford University at the age of 17. By the time he reached college, he wanted to study mathematics; but Oxford didn’t offer a degree in that specialty, so he ventured over towards the physics major. He graduated Oxford with honors in natural science and went on to Trinity Hall at Cambridge University to obtain a PhD in cosmology. (A)
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.
Occupational therapists work with clients to restore independence that has been lost or disrupted due to illness, injury, or disease. Occupational therapy practice involves assessing and determining an appropriate treatment approach based on the client’s disability and individual needs. There are various occupation-based models, each client-centered and grounded in theory, that guide the clinical treatment process. In addition, the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (3rd ed.; AOTA, 2014) denotes various frames of reference to guide therapists when choosing specific intervention strategies based on the client’s needs (Cole & Tufano, 2018). This paper focuses on the application of the Occupation Adaption model,
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. As a child, he lived a comfortable life with luxuries due to his mother's fortune. As a child, he attended a catholic school and wrote his first novel at the age of 13. His claim to fame was writing the Great Gatsby, where he started to be known as a real writer and wrote many other great pieces of writing that were later appreciated. It gained popularity due to its description of the 1920’s. After this, he became a heavy drinker which led to alcoholism and he began to have many problems such wife who began to have mental problems. Some of his contributions to society are his work of the Great Gatsby is read by every High School, that is transforming generations through literature. Albert Einstein would get along with F. Scott Fitzgerald because Einstein likes reading books and they can converse about The Great Gatsby and his ideas on how he came up with the book and probably give him some ideas.
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
The media have always had a huge influence on everything in society both negatively and positively. There is no telling that everything said in the media is true, because the media can often be biased. The media becomes biased when it emphasizes one specific point of view in a way that breaches the ethics of journalism professionally. For instance, in a case study by two scientists, Michaels & Knappenberger (2013), they stated:
Spacetime. Gravitational singularities. Black hole radiation. Extraterrestrial intelligence. The origin of our universe. All of these areas of research belong to cosmology, a field pioneered by the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. Today we pay tribute to his life, his achievements, and the lasting impact he has had on the world. Born on January 8th, 1942, a date which happened to coincide with the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death, Hawking was one of the most intelligent, prestigious thinkers of our time. Hawking grew up in Oxford, England, after a move from London due to German air attacks during WWII. Hawking eventually went on to attend the University of Oxford in the footsteps of both his parents. Initially, Hawking wanted
The universe is full of mysteries, mysteries people are afraid to know or discover. Noted astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is a firm believer in the black hole and cosmology. Stephen Hawking has had a significant impact on society because he overcomes his disability, creating theories of the black hole and is the author of several popular books. Hawking was born on January 8,1942.
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
"My earliest memory is of standing in the nursery of Byron House School in Highgate and crying my head off" (Eicher 51). This quote was said by famous physicist Stephen Hawking when he was a kid and saw bombs drop from the Nazis (Eicher 1). Hawking had a major calamity in his life, including the one previously stated, but had still been able to have many contributions to society and leave a lasting legacy for generations after him.
Einstein helped in the war efforts during WW2. What he created is one of the most dangerous bombs ever. The americans have only ever use it once. Einstein created the atomic bomb(Albert Einstein Facts). The americans asked him to make a bomb so powerful that it would stop the war between The U.S. and Japan. Because He was such a great scientist that He was awarded with a nobel peace prize(Albert Einstein Facts). Another fun fact, Einstein was actually asked to be the president of Israel(Albert Einstein Facts). He rejected the offer but He was so smart and such a good guy that He was asked to be a president. This man was an immigrant from Germany. He did so much for the field of science. Einstein helped with rockets, He helped us understand how space works and without his work we would barely know how space
They didn’t live the life of abundance that we do today. If Hawking lived a thousand years ago, he would most likely not live up to his early seventies as of now and rather his adolescent years. Thanks to modern medicine, healthcare, and farming innovations we live in abundance. Most importantly, to live in it we must also have the mentality that if there is a blockage on our current route, there will always be another route we can plan to travel on. Hawking does this, and he does it well. He is a physicist, cosmetologist, and an author. He is the man who gets
Steven Hawking’s A Briefer History in Time tells a simplified story of the universe. Hawking’s starts out the book by going over the different type of cosmology that was held throughout history. He mentions the beliefs that Aristotle, Copernicus, Galileo and other notable individuals held about the universe. This discussion is used to segue into a brief description of the different theories, laws, and ideas concerning the universe held by people today. Newton’s laws of motion and gravity and Einstein’s theory of relativity are only some of the models that Hawking discusses. Thus, the main purpose of Hawking’s A Briefer History in Time is to inform the readers of the development in our understanding of how the universe works. In his conclusion, Hawking’s specifically includes the term “Mind of God” (142). I believe that for Hawking, to understand the mind of God is to understand the workings of the universe and our place in it. Hawking’s A Briefer History of Time also asserts that it is possible to know the mind of God. In essence, although, Hawking does not explicitly say that we can explain the world without God, he does use the theories of others to question the existence of God. Although, Hawking’s discussion of the theories concerning the universe can be seen as contradictory to the idea of an absolute God, the theories coincide and broaden my understanding of God.
Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. At an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky. At age 21, while studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Despite his debilitating illness, he has done groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and his several books have helped to make science accessible to everyone. His Scottish mother had earned her way into Oxford University in the 1930s. His father, another Oxford graduate, was a well-known medical researcher with a specialty in tropical diseases. Stephen Hawking 's birth came at an inopportune time for his parents who didn 't have much money. England’s climate was also tense, as England
Most people know who Albert Einstein is and how great of a physicist he was, yet many aren’t aware that Albert Einstein had not even finished high school! Most would think that a person who doesn’t complete high school is dumb, and lazy. The fact is, Einstein did not complete high school, not because he was dumb or lazy. At the age of 15, he quit high school because he did not agree with the way the teachers taught. He thought that the teacher’s weren’t teaching in a way that didn’t allow students to freely question or use their creative imagination. Einstein once said “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." By this he shows that he isn’t for seeing things the way they seem, and he tends to think deeper into things. He shows that he keeps his mind open, open to learn new things that can’t be noticed by a simple glance. Many would also think that one who drops out of high school may not go anywhere in life. Einstein won a Nobel Prize in Physics, a Gold Medal of The Royal Astronomical Society, and many other awards. Even if Einstein never even finished high school, his creation of the equation E = mc2, theory of relativity, and theory of light led the way to him becoming known as the father of modern physics.
Stephen Hawking is a Physics professor at Cambridge University, located in Cambridge, England. His expertise and passion dwells in that of Cosmology, the study of the universe. He was born during World War II, and given the name of Stephen William Hawking on January 8, 1942 in Oxford England. Although it was his
