Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the un iver. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the univer, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class.
After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himlf admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks.
