Great physicist Stephen Hawking is no longer. He died on Wednesday (March 14th). He was 76 years old. His family has given information about the death of Hawking. Stephen Hawking took his last breath at home. His children Lucie, Robert and Tim released an official statement about this. They said, "We are very sad on the death of the father. He was a great scientist and was an extraordinary person, whose work and legacy will also be known in the coming years."

Hawking has made a special contribution in understanding the Big Bang theory and the Black Hole. That's why he has been awarded the highest civilian honor of America. His book 'A Brief History of Time' was also well-known throughout the world on the mysteries of the universe.

Hawking was originally from the UK. According to media reports, he was suffering from motor neuron disease. Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. He and his younger siblings grew up in St. Alban. Except for Stephen Hawking's brain, the rest of the body did not work. He lived on a wheelchair. Yet in the world of science he managed to make his own identity. After Albert Einstein, Hawking became the world's greatest theoretical physicist.

Interestingly, on the day the Hawking was born, the great scientist Galileo had said goodbye to the world. Stephen once tried to take his life. He was then 38 years old and he got upset with his illness.

In school, Stephen Hawking did not feel strongly in his studies. Hawking spent most of time in St. Alban School with board games and computers. But he took admission to a well-known Oxford University, from which his father had also studied. Hawking was a student here at the age of 17. Prior to choosing the path of physics, his mind was to study in mathematics or medicine field. However, he used to take less lectures in college. He had said, "I have spent only a thousand hours studying in three years spent in Oxford."

Interestingly, even after taking low class and not being able to become a book worm, his mind was sharp. When Hawking deposited his thesis in the college, which was placed between the first class and the second class. In such a situation, he had to undergo an oral examination. Then he told the teachers, "If you give me the first grade, then I'll go to the Cambridge. If I keep in second class then I will stay here. In this way, I expect you from the first grade."

In 1962, he took admission in Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was under the famous physicist Dennis Schema and renowned astronomer Fred Hoyle. Here, his interest began to appear in the early study of black holes and singularity. After completing his doctorate degree in Cosmology, he stayed in Cambridge. Here he tried to understand the essential questions related to the structure of the universe. Hawking met Wilde in Cambridge, who was studying modern languages at Westfield College in London. Even before both dating, Hawking was diagnosed with ice skating. He went to the doctor, where he feared that Hawking had less time left.
