The extraordinary energy of genius with IQ 160

Physicist Stephen Hawking did not waste his genius with IQ 160 when he continued to devote himself to science, breaking the diagnosis that he could only live for another two years.

The life of ups and downs of genius Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, on the 300th anniversary of the loss of Italian Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics Galileo Galile, in Oxford, England. He is the eldest of four families (the youngest is adopted). His parents, Frank and Isobel Hawking, are alumni of Oxford University.

According to a friend, the Hawking family lived differently. The members often eat and quietly read books at dinner. They also keep bees in the basement and homemade fireworks in the greenhouse.

In 1950, Mr. Frank Hawking took the position of head of the Department of Parasitology at the National Institute of Medical Research. His family moved to St Albans in Hertfordshire county. He wanted to steer his son along the path of medicine, but even as a child, Stephen showed intense passion for science and the universe.

At the beginning of school, he was a smart student but his academic results were not outstanding. When he was studying at Byron House, he could not even read well and blame the teacher's teaching method.

At the age of 8, Stephen Hawking attended St Albans Girls 'High School (at that time, little boys could learn girls' school). In his early years, he was one of the three worst learners in the class.

At the age of 13, he was directed to the prestigious Westminster School, but Hawking fell ill on the scholarship exam day. The family could not afford to pay tuition so he continued to study at St Albans. He and his group of friends often play chess, an intellectual game that helps develop thinking, ability to reason, communicate and judge, create fireworks, model aircraft, boats.

In 1958, thanks to the help of math teacher Dikran Tahta, they successfully built a computer with components taken from watches, old phones and other recycled materials.

Although friends often call Stephen Hawking 'Einstein' , his study results are not really outstanding. However, Hawking revealed talent in science. Following Tahta's advice, he decided to study Math. His father advised him to study Medicine because he was worried that he would not apply for a job.

Listening to his father, Stephen Hawking attended the University College in Oxford but studied Physics and Chemistry because the school did not have a Mathematics major. In March 1959, he took the exam and was awarded a scholarship.

In October 1959, Stephen became an Oxford University student at the age of 17. In the first 18 months, he always felt depressed and lonely because he was younger than other students and . learning was easy.

Later, Robert Berman, his Professor of Physics, commented on the talented student: 'Just knowing that can be done, he will do it without studying other people's ways'.

In his second school year, Stephen Hawking wanted to fit in with friends, become an active, witty person. He joined the school's sailing club. According to the coaches, Hawking was a bold student, often leading his team to follow dangerous routes that damaged the boat.

He does not pay much attention to studying and usually only learns one hour a day. This way of learning made him difficult to take exams because he only answered theoretical Physics questions and ignored questions that required practical knowledge. Meanwhile, he needed a first-class honors degree to be able to enroll in Cosmology at Cambridge University as planned.

The exam was stressful, Hawking's results were between first and second boundaries. He needed an oral exam to classify.

Hawking worried that the judges would consider him a lazy, fastidious candidate, so when asked to describe the future plan, he said: 'If you give me first rank, I will go to Cambridge. If I get second, I will stay in Oxford. So I hope you give me first class. '

In the end, Hawking took first place and began pursuing a PhD at the top UK university.

This was one of the tough times in the genius physicist's life when he was not guided by the expected professor, and had a health problem. After suffering from atrophic sclerosis, diagnosed by a doctor could not live more than two years, Hawking collapsed.

The doctors advised him to continue the study but he felt no longer meaningful. However, the relationship with Jane Wilde, his sister's friend, has energized the genius scientist. Later, Hawking said that it was the engagement ceremony in October 1964 that gave him 'reason to live'.

He returned to the study, the disease progressed more slowly than the doctor predicted, while breaking the initial diagnosis of Hawking's life.

In September 1964, Stephen Hawking became famous for his intellectual genius and special character after a public presentation challenging the work of renowned astronomer Fred Hoyle and his student.

His research career began to grow rapidly with controversial issues in the scientific world such as the Big Bang theory, static cosmology. He also has many studies on black holes.

In 1973, Stephen Hawking published his first book entitled 'The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time'. In 1974, he was famous in the world of science when he proved that black holes emit radiation.

In 1975, he returned to Cambridge and became a professor of physics at 35 years old. In 1976, he received the Albet Einstein Medal and an honorary doctorate from Oxford University.

By the end of the 70s, his illness became serious. In addition to family members and close friends, almost no one understands what he is saying. However, genius with IQ 160 still tries to contribute to science and overcome disease.

In 1979, he was appointed Lucas Professor of Mathematics, a leading reputation at Cambridge University, as well as in the world. Isaac Newton and Paul Dirac were appointed to this title.

The next time, he actively studied, and continued to have health problems.

In 2009, he was in critical condition. Cambrigde University spokesman announced that Professor Hawking "has been hospitalized and is very weak". Newspapers began posting summaries of his life as early obituaries, according to Biography.

However, once again, the genius physicist passed. This seems to be a medical miracle because most people with muscular atrophy are difficult to live for more than 20 years.

Stephen Hawking is a great scientist not only due to his genius and extraordinary energy and great contributions in physics and astronomy, but also because of his special character. Hawking has never proved to be conservative with his own research results.

With a serious scientific spirit, in 1985, he admitted his mistake. In July 2004, he again shocked the research community by asserting his unconvincing theory that black swirls swallowed up material and formed when stars were destroyed, and matter was disappearing. through the black hole to a new universe.

His name relates to the theory of cosmic black holes. For more than 30 years since the publication of the first discovery of this astronomical phenomenon, Hawking has always wondered, verifying it experimentally.

On August 25, 2015, the famous physicist presented a new hypothesis about black holes following the observations of renowned scientists and media at the Royal KTH Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the Washington Post reported.
