Professor Stephen Hawking, a famous British genius iman died today (14/3/2018) at the age of 76 years. He is known as a physicist, cosmologist, astronomer and mathematician who inspires the citizens of the world because it continues to work despite being totally paralyzed.

summarizes the history of this genius scientist;

Name: Stephen William Hawking.
Date of Birth: January 8, 1942.
Place of Birth: Oxford, England (raised around London)
Father: Frank Hawking, a doctor and biologist.
Mother: E. Isobel Hawking
Marriage history: Elaine Mason (1995-2006, divorced);

Other Facts:

-The year Stephen Hawking (January 8, 1942) is the 300th anniversary of the death of astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei.

-He is the 17th Lucasian Mathematics Professor, an academic chair at Cambridge University. From 1669 to 1702, the position was held by Sir Isaac Newton.

-He has guest starred in various movies and portrayed herself, as in "Big Bang Theory", "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "The Simpsons".

-Hawking suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS), usually fatal after three years, but he has survived for 50 years. This disease has made him completely paralyzed and he is very dependent on others, including bathing, dressing, eating, mobility and speech. He can only move a few fingers in one hand.

Here's an important timeline in Hawking's life

1963 - Diagnosed with motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

1966 - Completed his doctoral work in theoretical physics, proposed a thesis on the theory of black holes (black holes).

1970 - Combining the theory of relativity with quantum theory and finding that black holes emit radiation.

1979 - Became a professor of 17th Lucasian mathematics at Cambridge University.

1982 - Received CBE - Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

1985 - Inpatient with Hawking pneumonia requires emergency tracheotomy, causing permanent damage to the larynx and vocal cords.

1988 - His book, "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes" was published.

2004 - Reversing the 1966 theory that black holes swallow everything that is in their path forever and declare that black holes will never support space travel to other universes.

April 26, 2007 - Being the first paralyzed person to experience zero gravity, when he boarded the Zero Gravity Corporation.

October 2007 - "George's Secret Key to the Universe" The first book of a series of children's books to help explain the universe, written alongside Lucy's daughter, was published.

November 30, 2008 - Designated by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario to become the first Distinguished Research Chair.

19 May 2009 - "George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt," the second book in a series of children's books written with his daughter Lucy, was published.

30 July 2009 - Awarded "2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom" by President Barack Obama.

September 30, 2009 - Retired as Lucasian Mathematics Professor at Cambridge University after 30 years. However, Hawking will continue to work at the university.

2009 to death - Director of Research at the Institute for Theoretical Cosmology at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University.

September 7, 2010 - "The Grand Design," a book written with Leonard Mlodinow, published.

August 28, 2012 - "George and the Big Bang," the third book in a series of children's books written with his daughter Lucy, is published.

December 2012 - Win a Basic Physics Prize and be awarded USD3 million for his theory of a black hole that emits energy.

September 10, 2013 - Hawking publishes "My Brief History," a biography that looks at his life and intellectual development.

June 5, 2014 - "George and the Unbreakable Code" the fourth book in a series of children's books written with his daughter Lucy, published.
