The Legend of Physics Einstein's Successor

Stephen Hawking, The Legend of Physics Einstein's Successor
- A genius physicist who is able to explore the mind of the universe from the quantum level to the origin of the universe. Is a major player in this century from a range of scientists who try to understand the universe in an integrated manner.
- One interesting thing about him is his physical condition was completely paralyzed. He lay in a wheelchair without being able to walk, stand, move the hands and even talking. He's lucky because her brain was not affected by the disease.
- Stephen William Hawking is born in January 1942 in Oxford, England. He grew up near the City of London and obtained his Bachelor degree from Oxford University in 1962 with honors. Then he obtained his doctorate at the University of Cambridge in the field of theoretical physics under the guidance of Dennis Sciama. - Since year 1960, he was suffering from ALS disease that made him sit in a wheelchair until now without being able to move at all.
- Hawking managed to graduate with his Doctorate in 1965 thanks to his thesis about the origin of the universe is generally accepted widely.
- He is applying advanced mathematical techniques are introduced Penrose to study the properties of black holes. Black hole is a region where physical laws do not apply anymore. The place has a very strong gravitational force, and anyone who entered could not get out again, including even light. According to the observing astronomer, known teryata giant black hole at the center of our galaxy.
- All research conducted in his head, because the process goes hand paralysis gradually. Gradually he also trained his mind to think in different ways by physicists in general. He's thinking of new ways the picture of mental-mental and intuitive equation which for him can replace paper and pen and writing equations.
- Hawking uses mental images to get inspiration, is the study of black hole surface area. An esoteric problems in the dynamics of black holes, eventually brought him to the greatest discoveries in physics.
