Ur bokens baksidestext: "ALL ABOUT STEPHEN HAWKING is a biography that offers young readers intriguing information about physicist Stephen Hawking. He is one of the great geniuses of scientific history. From an early age, Stephen Hawking dreamed of making the study of the universe accessible to everyone. Diagnosed with ASL at the age of twenty-one, he overcame that challenge to become an expert on the origin of the universe and black holes. While his disease
Broke down his body, his mind remained strong. He advanced our knowledge of black holes by discovering Hawking radiation, the energy emitted by black holes.
As an Oxford student, Stephen Hawking never expected that people across the world would know his name, or that his hobby of stargazing would lead him to be one of the world’s greatest scientists. Stephen Hawking made cosmology, or the study of the universe, accessible to everyone. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of twenty-one, but didn’t let that stop him from receiving a graduate degree from Cambridge and going on to be an expert in the scientific origin of the universe and black holes.
Hawking is best known for writing A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, which explained cosmology in non-scientific terms so that non-scientists could understand it.
