Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Fully revised, updated and up-to-the-minute biography of one of the most astonishing figures of our time.In 1963 Stephen Hawking was given two years to live. Defying all the odds, he died in March 2018 at age seventy-six as the most celebrated scientist in the world. This carefully researched and updated biography and tribute gives a rich picture of Hawking's remarkable life - his childhood, the heart-rending beginning of his struggle with motor neurone disease, his ever-increasing international fame, and his long personal battle for survival in pursuit of a scientific understanding of the universe.From more recent years, Kitty Ferguson describes his inspiring leadership at the London Paralympic Games, the release of the film The Theory of Everything, his continuing work on black holes and the origin of the universe, the discovery of 'supertranslations', and the astounding 'Starshot' program. Here also are his intense concern for the future of the Earth and his use of his celebrity to fight for environmental and humanitarian causes, and, finally, a ground-breaking paper he was working on at the time of his death, in which he took issue with some of his own earlier theories. Throughout, Ferguson summarizes and explains the cutting-edge science in which Hawking was engaged and offers vivid first-hand descriptions of his funeral in Cambridge and the interment of his ashes in Westminster Abbey.This is an amazing and revealing tribute, assessing Hawking's legacy in and out of science. The completely revised and updated story. Stephen Hawking's life and work have produced amazing paradoxes: beginnings may be endings, empty space isn't empty, and black holes aren't black. Cruel circumstances can lead to happiness; fame and success may not. A man whose appearance inspires shock and pity takes us to where the boundaries of space and time should be - but are not. With new information drawn from interviews with Professor Hawking regarding his theories and personal life, and with fascinating new photographs, this is an insightful and captivating account of an extraordinary life and a brilliant mind.
