The Person I Admire

 

Hi classmates! Today I'm going to write about Stephen Hawking

I really admire this great scientist because in addition to his intelligence, he researched a lot of interesting things with a complicated disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), he had many complications about it, but he still made extraordinary contributions to the scientific community.

He wrote books in which he tried to explain to the society his vision of the laws that govern the behavior of the universe, and many of his books were for a non-scientific audience, with non-complex vocabulary, one of these was A Brief History of Time.

Stephen Hawking to tried to explain the nature of black holes, he applied very complex theories of quantum physics, he also discovered that black holes can emit energy in the form of radiation “Hawking Radiation”, this means that something can “scape” from black holes.

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, United Kingdom. He graduated in 1962 from oxford college with a degree in mathematics and physics, in 1963 he was diagnosed with ALS, the doctors gave him only a few years to live, but he lived more than 50 years, dying at the age of 76 in 2018.
