The eldest of Frank and Isobel Hawking's four children, Stephen William Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary of the death of Galileo—long a source of pride for the noted physicist—on January 8, 1942. He was born in Oxford, England, into a family of thinkers. His Scottish mother, Isobel Hawking, had earned her way into Oxford University in the 1930s—a time when few women thought of going to college—making her one of the college's first female students. His father, Frank Hawking, another Oxford graduate, was a respected medical researcher with a specialty in tropical diseases. Stephen Hawking's birth came at an inopportune time for his parents, who didn't have much money. The political climate was also tense, as England was dealing with World War II and the onslaught of German bombs. In an effort to seek a safer place to have their first child, Frank moved his pregnant wife from their London home to Oxford. The Hawking’s would go on to have two other children, Mary (1943) and Philippa (1947). A second son, Edward, was adopted in 1956. In 1963 Hawking’s had many tests done on his well being and found that he had ALS and the doctors said he would die in 2 years. Hawking's quest for big answers to big questions includes his own personal desire to travel into space. In 2007, at the age of 65, Hawking made an important step toward space travel. While visiting the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, he was given the opportunity to experience an environment without gravity. He has also gone on to do many more things which I will go into detail about in this essay.

    Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 in Weil der Stadt, Germany. Kepler was plagued by both poverty and sickness for much of his childhood. His mother was an Innkeeper and his father was a military man, who left Johannes when he was only five years old, never to return. With no financial resources, Kepler had little chance of making out of his small home town. Fortunately, it did not take long for people to catch on to Kepler’s true genius once he started attending school. It was quickly realized that Johannes had a special brain that was capable of understanding complex ideas and concepts both mathematically and…

    rough childhood. Also he was a slow learner, even his parents thought he was mildly dullard, which is ironic because Albert had a head start! The typical gestation period for a human being is 40 weeks. Einstein spend several weeks longer in his mother womb. His brain had more time to develop and as a result he went on becoming one the greatest mind's this world has ever seen. Albert Einstein went to Princeton, New Jersey, U.S there he went to many classes and became even more intelligent. At the peak of his Annus Mairabilis (Miracle Year) he earned his Doctorate Degree. At the time he couldn't even hold a job because of his Doctorate Degree. In 1905 he made the ground work for the “Atomic Age” by creating the formula E = mc2. Albert earned his first Nobel Prize for Physics…

    Albert Einstein had a normal childhood for the most part. He was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany, with younger sister named Maria. When Einstein met his baby sister for the first time he actually thought she was a toy and, “Yes but where are the wheels?” (Isaacson 11). Alberts father Hermann Einstein, was a businessman with a knack for math and whose job required him and his family to move frequently. Since Hermann was a businessman, Albert’s parents were considered middle-class. When Einstein was a baby, his mother realized his head was fatter than most babies and had many weird angles. In addition to an odd shaped head, Einstein did not begin to talk until he was around two years old, he waited until he was able to form full sentences and not just words. His sister has said on many occasionas that at a very young age he would stop to answer or think taking long pauses, many people believed that he was pausing to form the sentence while she says he paused to “Know what he was talking about”. His parents had no choice but to believe that their son was mentally slow. “My parents were so worried,” he later recalled, “that they consulted a doctor,” (Isaacson 8).…

I’m going to start off by saying thank you for your contributions to science. Like your study on black holes and your law of black holes that states In the case of two objects with equal masses m and zero intrinsic angular momenta, this upper bound is (2-√2)m. This law was very important in understanding black holes. You accomplishing all of this stuff is amazing because you did all of this stuff while being affected by ALS a very rare and uncommon disease.
