Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking is a British physicist and author. He was born on January 8, 1942.

Despite suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis for most of his adult life he has written books popularizing science. His most famous books are A Brief History of Time, Black Holes and Baby Universes , The Universe in a Nutshell and The Grand Design, in which he argues against the idea of the need for a Creator. [1]

Hawking is credited with the development of the Big Bang Theory of the creation of the universe. He theorized that information can escape from a black hole in the form of Hawking Radiation wherein virtual dual particles will came close to the Event Horizon of a black hole. One half of the virtual dual particle will escape the pull of gravity, taking with it the information of the second virtual particle. It is thought that this eventually will cause the evaporation of the black hole[2]. He is also credited with advancing the understandings of black holes. Since 1979 he has been the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a post once held by Isaac Newton and Paul Dirac.[3]

Stephen Hawking combines his research with family life and acts to popularize science. He has appeared on The Simpsons and Star Trek: The Next Generation TV shows and contributed vocals through his speech synthesizer to the Pink Floyd album The Division Bell on the track Keep Talking.

Hawking has been divorced twice.[4] It is unknown whether Hawking's history of divorces has contributed to his promotion of his pseudoscience fantasies.

Unfortunately, Hawking has yet to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, and has indeed made the foolish comment that there is no place for a creator, claiming that all of God's Creation is self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself.[5]
