Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942. He grew up in a highly educated family. Both of his parents had attended Oxford University and his father, Frank, was a medical researcher.

Stephen Hawking enjoyed math and science in school where he earned the nickname “Einstein.” He wanted to study math at university but Oxford didn’t have a math degree at the time so he chose physics and chemistry instead. Stephen Hawking found college coursework to be very easy. He enjoyed being a member of the school’s boat club as well as classical music. After graduation, he went to Cambridge to study for his PhD.

Diagnosed with ALS

While Stephen Hawking was working on his PhD at Cambridge University, he began to have health issues. His speech became slurred and he became very clumsy, often dropping items or falling for no reason. After going through a series of tests, doctors discovered that Stephen Hawking had a disease called ALS (also called Lou Gehrig’s disease). At the time, the doctors said he only had a few years to live.

Overcoming ALS

Although Stephen Hawking was initially depressed over his diagnosis, he decided that there were things he wanted to accomplish with his life. He began to study and work harder than ever before. He wanted to earn his PhD before he died. Around the same time, he met and fell in love with a girl named Jane Wilde. Between his work and Jane, Hawking had a reason to live.

Despite the initial grim diagnosis from his doctors, Stephen Hawking has lived a full and productive life with the help of science and modern medicine. Although he is confined to a wheelchair and cannot talk, he can communicate using a touch pad computer and a voice synthBig Bang besizer.

Black Holes and Hawking Radiation

Stephen Hawking spent much of his academic work researching black holes and space-time theories. He wrote many important papers on the subject and became a noted expert on relativity and black holes. Perhaps his most famous discovery was when he demonstrated that black holes emit some radiation. Prior to this it was thought that black holes could not get smaller because nothing could escape their enormous gravity. The radiation from black holes has become known as Hawking Radiation.

A Brief History of Time

Stephen Hawking also enjoyed writing books. In 1988 he published A Brief History in Time. This book covered modern subjects on cosmology such as the big bang and black holes in terms that could be understood by the average reader. The book became very popular selling millions of copies and remaining on the London Sunday Times best-seller list for four years. He has since written many more books including A Briefer History in Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, and The Universe in a Nutshell.

Personality Mahendra Singh Dhoni

If one sets out to understand the true meaning of the observation made by one of the greatest thinkers of all time, R.W.

_ Emerson—”Self-trust is the essence of heroism,” the personality of the great Indian skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni at once comes to one’s mind. Amid controversies regarding alleged instances of betting, spot-fixing and match-fixing in the Indian Premier League-6 held in 2013, he did not let media uproar heavy on his mind. Like a true hero, he led India nonchalantly to beat England by five runs in the rain-curtailed final of the Champions Trophy in Birmingham on June 23,2013. After this victory, India became the second team after Australia to hold both the World Cup and the Champions Trophy at the same time. A small-town boy, Dhoni has dazzled everybody’s eyes and acquired a permanent place in the national team with a bang in such a big way that every Indian prides himself/herself upon being his compatriot. His brilliance as a great player is evident from his natural flair for aggression and making runs at a breathtaking pace. He virtually takes games away from the opposition at will. Today, he is considered one of the greatest batsmen of the world by virtue of his inimitable batting style and enormous range of shots. His mercurial mind never fails to fascinate the spectators and the Test series win of the Team India bears testimony to this fact. He led his team to 4-0 victory against Australia in the Test series played in February-March, 2013. Earlier, he had led India to enviable victory in the inaugural World Cup Twenty20 championship in South Africa in 2007 and made history by leading his team to lift the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 after a gap of 28 years.

Dhoni was born on July 7, 1981 in Ranchi and studied at DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Ranchi. He made his One-Day International (ODI) debut against Bangladesh in Chittagong in December 2004. He mesmerised the cricket fraternity when he hit a blistering knock (148 runs off 123 balls) against Pakistan in Visakhapatnam in 2005. His genius reached its insurmountable best during his exuberant ODI innings of 183 runs (not out) against Sri Lanka in Jaipur,

Rajasthan, in October 2005. It was the highest ODI score posted by a wicketkeeper and also the highest score (120) off 6s and 4s in an ODI innings.
Dhoni made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in Chennai, on December 2, 2005. He made an instant imprint on the Test level too, pounding 148 against Pakistan at Faisalabad, only in his fifth Test, when India were struggling to avoid the follow-on. Dhoni has introduced a new genre of Indian cricketers—committed, courageous, fearless and willing to face every challenge directly. Be it his composed attitude or the healthy secrets of his muscular prowess, Dhoni is the dream hero of all. The excellent wicketkeeper-batsman was voted as the MTV Youth Icon for the year 2006. The same year, IASpaperhonoured him with a CSR Gold Medal which is given to outstanding achievers. In the year that followed, i.e. 2007, the Government of India conferred the most prestigious award, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna on him for his excellent contribution to the field of sports.
