Stephen William Hawking - Stephen William Hawking sündis 8.Jaanuaril 1942 aastal Suurbritannias Oxfordis - Briti teoreetiline füüsik ja matemaatik - Lapsepõlves pere kolis tihti, et vältida II Maailmasõda - Tuntuima ja enim tähelepanu pälvinud teadusemees. - Ta sai 1979. aastal Cambridge ülikooli matemaatikaprofessoriks- samal kohal oli kunagi olnudIsaac Newton - Hawking peamised uurimisvaldkonnad on teoreetiline kosmoloogia ja Kvantgravitatsioon. -Hawkingi isa oli õppinud Oxfordi ülikoolis, ning tahtis , et ka Stephen õpiks seal.Teda hakkas huvitama füüsika, eriti termodünaamika, relatiivsusteooria ja kvant mehaanika - Pärast Oxfordist saadud Bakalaureuse kraadi (1962) jäi ta sinnaõppima astronoomiat.Ta otsustas lahkuda, sest sealne observatoorium oli varustatud ainult sellise tehnikaga millega oli võimalik uurida vaatluse teel päikeseplekke. Teda huvitasid rohkem teooriad kui vaatlus. -Ta läks Oxfor...
Kuna Hawkingi kiirgus lubab mustal augul oma massi kaotada, must auk mis kaotab rohkem mateeriat kui juurde saab hakkab hajuma, kahanema ja lõpuks kaob Biograafia "Aja lühiajalugu" ("A Brief History of Time", 1988) "Mustad augud, noored universumid ja teised esseed" ("Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays" 1993) "Universum pähklikoores" ("The Universe in a Nutshel" 2001) "Lõpetamata aja lühilugu"("A Briefer History of Time" 2005) Auhinnad ja autasud 1975 Eddington Medal 1976 Hughes Medal of the Royal Society 1979 Albert Einstein Medal 1982 Order of the British Empire(Komandör) 1985Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society 1986 Member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics 1989 Prince of Asturias Awards in Concord 1989 Companion of Honour 1999 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society
both R.C.A. and Mackay Radio & Telegraph Company to ensure its correct reception. An hour and a half later, it wired to the Central Telegraph Office the coded message ordering the 1 p.m. delivery of the 14-part note. This too was sent via the two companies. As usual, the indefatigable ear of Bainbridge Island detected the ethereal pulses of both messages. It picked up the Mackay transmission of the 14th part between 12:05 and 12:10 a.m., December 7, local time, and the even briefer one o'clock message between 1:28 and 1:37 a.m. It teletyped them to GY in a single transmission, the 14th part as serial No. 380 of Station S, the one o'clock as No. 381. Brotherhood, who was GY watch officer, ran them through the PURPLE machine. He evidently had some trouble with the 14th part, for it took an hour to break. But by 4 a.m. he had it in English. The three-letter codegroups were quickly translated into punctuation; the message would need little more than typing
