Carter Institute of Journalism, Charles Seif.
A well-known journalist who specializes in scientific issues reveals his personality and work Hawking, focusing critically on the various aspects of his life. It explores Hawking as a physicist, as a personality, as a showman, as a husband and father.

Let’s remember that file Stephen William Hawking Born in Oxford on January 8, 1942. He was the eldest of three children of a medical researcher Frank Hawking Which Eileen Walker who worked as a secretary in a research institute. Both of his parents were graduates of Oxford University.
In 1966, while he was diagnosed Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisa degenerative disease – The fact that he managed to live so long surprised the world – He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge – His dissertation was titled properties of expanding universes. In general, the British scientist was known for his work black holes and the Relevance He is the author of many scientific books, including the well-known “History of Time”.
In this particular biography, Charles Seif It uses the trick of reverse chronological order, starting at the end and ending with the famous scientist’s childhood.
As he notes: “If you reverse the course of time, what emerges is a man who is fickle, arrogant, heartless, but also warm, witty and witty. Complex. Exciting. Unique”. He creates a historical document that is far from sacrosanct, extracting material from conversations and incorporating new interviews with people from his inner circle, students, collaborators and even intellectual rivals.
Was he after all a scientist who knew the propaganda game so well? Was his genius exaggerated? Hawking; the sword He insists on describing his personal failures and directly indicates that he knows very well how to exploit the tools of self-promotion.
The fact is that his discoveries Hawking that will inspire a new generation, while iconic images of his wheelchair adventures in the wilderness South Pole or hovering in zero trip Newspapers and websites around the world will pick them up.
His testimony is also distinguished Ray for moviesone of Hawking’s students and former caregivers, who has the famous photo of an osprey flying in zero gravity on his wall, says, “I have lung cancer, and the prognosis for lung cancer isn’t very good. But thanks to modern medicine, I’m alive right now. That’s why I have the photo.” There is. Whenever I despair, I look at it and think that if this century lasts fifty years, I can at least last twenty-five years.”
the Charles Seif He paints a different picture in this fascinating biography in which unique moments of this legendary personality unfold. It is usual for this book to be clearly addressed to a general reader, and therefore if you wish to seek information on his scholarly achievements, works or studies, it would be good to look in other sources.
Therefore, following this unusual narrative structure, he gives new content, without being idealized, and at the same time brings out the unknown pages of his personal life. On the one hand, we watch the famous physicist enjoy his reputation as an idol of science, and on the other hand, he is almost estranged from his children. In addition, we learn about his two difficult marriages that ended in unpleasant fashion, the police investigations into allegations of abuse, his regular visits to hospitals, and even such small details as his poster. Marlin Monroe which he had hung in his office at Cambridge.
At this point, he quotes the director’s testimony Errol Morris, who was chatting with Hawking during the filming of “The Timeline” and at one point brought up the topic of the unforgettable Hollywood star. “I understand why you have all those pictures of Marilyn Monroe on your wall. She, like you, was more appreciative of her body than her mind.” Then he gave a really crazy look, as if to say, “What the hell are you talking about, Mr. Morris?” Finally there is a click and he tells me, “Yes.”
Among the many unflattering accounts of his autobiography that contribute to his unraveling are personal issues, such as being too competitive to let his children beat him at chess, or his choice of frequent strip clubs and sex clubs. British “daily Mail” He even went so far as to seek comment from the University of Cambridge where Hawking worked on the matter.

it is certainly that Charles Seif She deftly weaves a rich story and offers lessons in how to write fairly and critically about a genius and the fame that followed. It is an honest account of the turbulent life of a prominent figure in the scientific world.
Hawking fans may be disappointed. But we can’t help but recognize that the author remains a formidable judge of his career Hawking Highlighting the most interesting reality behind it but also the factors that contributed to it becoming an icon of 20th century science.
the Stephen Hawking He died in March 2018. His family asked six people from the University of Cambridge to carry his coffin.
