He is best known for his compelling insights into such areas as Black Holes, relativity and quantum mechanics.</p> <p>Since bursting onto the international scene in 1988 with his bestselling book, “A Brief History of Time", Stephen Hawking has become synonymous with helping us understand fundamental mysteries of physics and our existence, such as: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Discover how this acclaimed (and often controversial) British-born scientist, despite battling progressive motor neuron disease since age 21, remains at the cutting edge of his field!</p> <p><strong>Read his full fascinating biography <a href="http://www.usasciencefestival.org/schoolprograms/2014-role-models-in-science-engineering/1105-stephen-hawking.html" target="_blank">here.</a></strong></p> </div> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/author/carlyo" lang="" about="/author/carlyo" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">carlyo</a></span> <span>Fri, 06/28/2013 - 14:10</span> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/role-models-science-engineering" hreflang="en">Role Models in Science &amp; Engineering</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/physics" hreflang="en">Physics</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/role-models" hreflang="en">Role Models</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/science" hreflang="en">Science</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/stem" hreflang="en">STEM</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/stephen-hawking" hreflang="en">Stephen Hawking</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/theoretical-physicist" hreflang="en">Theoretical Physicist</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/usa-science-engineering-festival" hreflang="en">USA Science &amp; Engineering Festival</a></div> </div> </div> <section> </section> <ul class="links inline list-inline"><li class="comment-forbidden"><a href="/user/login?destination=/usasciencefestival/2013/06/28/celebrating-role-models-in-science-engineering-achievement-stephen-hawking%23comment-form">Log in</a> to post comments</li></ul> Fri, 28 Jun 2013 18:10:17 +0000 carlyo 70507 at https://scienceblogs.com
