Author : Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking, widely recognized as the greatest theoretical physicist since Einstein, held the position of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge for thirty years. This is one of the most prestigious academic posts in the world and was historically held by giants of science, such as Isaac Newton and Paul Dirac. Hawking had a legendary life; however, he was forced to live in a wheelchair for most of his life, because of ALS, a rare disease that would gradually deprive the patients of movements. Nevertheless, he courageously battled the disease and attained great scientific achievements due to his astounding intelligence and dedication.

Key Insights from A Brief History of Time

  • Time is not just a constant; it can bend and stretch depending on the influence of gravity, as explained by Hawking's interpretation of Einstein's theory of relativity. This challenges our conventional understanding and illustrates the complex relationship between time, space, and the universe.
  • Black holes are not just theoretical constructs but real entities in our universe, formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Hawking introduced the idea of Hawking radiation, suggesting that black holes can emit particles and thus slowly evaporate over time.
  • The universe has no boundaries and is expanding, leading to implications about its origins and eventual fate. The idea that the universe could be finite but unbounded invites a profound reflection on our place in the cosmos and the nature of existence itself.
