Stephen Hawking
He was born on the 8th of January 1942 in Oxford. At the age of 11 Hawking went to St Albans school. 10 years after he went to school, he showed his first symptoms ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
He got a DECtalk, a voice synthesizer with an American accent, to help him speak. Now he relies on it to talk with the movement of one eye. We believe it’s his left but it may be his right.
He was married to Jane Wilde but he divorced in 1991. After this first divorce he got married to his nurse Elaine Manson. But in October 2006 he decided to divorce again. In 1967 he had his first child, Robert. Two years later his wife gave birth to a baby called Lucy and 10 years after Lucy was born he had another child, Timothy.
He studied gamma ray emissions after the Big Bang.
He has appeared in many films and programmes such as Family Guy, The Simpsons and The Superhero Movie.
He went into space in April 26, 2007. There he experienced, for the first time, zero gravity.
