Today’s Throwback Fact of the
Week is a celebratory one: on this day in 1942, Stephen Hawking was born in the
United Kingdom. While particularly
famous for his work in theoretical physics and his book A Brief History of Time, we cannot forget his origins in applied
mathematics, which he remains close to today.

This is Hawking’s 73rd
birthday. He has been in the news not so much for his professional work lately,
but for a movie depicting Hawking’s personal life based off of a memoir by
Hawking’s first wife. However, we here at the Center are more excited to see
what Hawking will do next for the scientific world.
Happy Birthday, Stephen Hawking!
