Stephen Hawking's Perspective

Stephen Hawking was considered one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history. From the Big Bang to black holes, his work on the universe's origins and structure revolutionized the field. Hawking was born in Oxford into a family of doctors. He began his university education at University College, Oxford, in 1959. He received a first-class BA degree in physics. Hawking began his graduate work at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1962. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, specializing in general relativity and cosmology, in March 1966. Like Isaac Newton, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009. At age 21, while studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Part of his life story was depicted in the 2014 film The Theory of Everything.

Introduction

The Theory of Everything is a series of lectures given by Stephen Hawking. The goal of these lectures is to outline what scientists believe is the history of the universe. As a result, he offers a history of science's understanding of the universe. Additionally, he clearly explains the events that unfolded immediately after the Big Bang. Hawking also covers the cosmological field he is most famous for: the study of black holes.
