You all know Hawking as a great scientist, but have you heard anything about his childhood and personal life? 🤔🧐 Details about the famous scientist’s early life and path to success can be found in this article! 👇👇👇
Such an incredible scientist as S. Hawking there is hardly anyone in the world. He is regarded as one of the most towering and notorious figures in theoretical physics and quantum cosmology. His role in scientific breakthroughs is enormous.
Despite the financial challenges, Isobel and Frank received education at Oxford university. Isobel studied philosophy, political science and economics breaking the gender stereotypes and becoming one of the first females to seek higher education.
What concerns Stephan, he was born in the midst of World War II and demonstrated his exceptional nature even at early ages. It is worth noting that he was born on the 300th anniversary of G. Galilei’s death.
He graduated with honors from Oxford and embarked on his Ph. D. journey at Cambridge University in 1962. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with lateral sclerosis at the age of 22 and was expected to have only 2 years to live.
It stands to reason that such terrible news affected not only his personal life, but also his academic and scientific aspirations. However, life had prepared another thing for him. He continued living and married J. Wilde in 1965.
Regardless of his terrible health condition, the couple welcomed their firstborn and named him Robert. Wilde was not only his wife, but also his best friend and companion for life. He firmly continued his scientific pursuits.
Hawking earned prestigious Adams prize thanks to his essay on singularity «Singularities and the Geometry of Spacetime». He soon deservedly secured a position at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
