Biography
Stephen Hawking was a brilliant theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author. He was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. Despite being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21, which gradually paralyzed him over the years, Hawking went on to make groundbreaking contributions to the fields of physics and cosmology.
Hawking's academic journey began at the University of Oxford, where he studied physics. He later pursued his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the nature of the universe. His work centered around black holes, gravitational singularity theorems, and the nature of spacetime. In 1974, he proposed Hawking radiation, a theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation and gradually lose mass, ultimately leading to their eventual evaporation.
Despite facing the physical challenges of ALS, Hawking continued to work and teach. In 1979, he became the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of...Read MORE...

The microwave oven was invented accidentally in 1945 by Percy Spencer, a Raytheon engineer. While testing a magnetron, he noticed microwaves melted a candy bar in his pocket. Experimenting further, he discovered microwaves could cook food quickly. Raytheon patented the process, and by 1947, they built the first commercial microwave oven, called the 'Radarange.' Initially used in commercial settings, microwaves becomes affordable for home use by the 1960s and 1970s, revolutionizing cooking. The cell phone was invented by Martin Cooper of Motorola. On April 3, 1973, he made the first handheld mobile phone call with the Motorola DynaTAC. This device weighed 2.5 pounds and was 10 inches long, offering 30 minutes of talk time and requiring 10 hours to charge. The first commercial cell phone was released in 1983, revolutionizing communication and leading to the modern smartphones we use today.
