During his schooling at Cambridge, Hawking studied Cosmology, at age 21 he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), then they just called it motoneuron disease. He was given two years to live, but still he continued his work, because he wanted to prove the beginning of time before he died. Hawking's dissertation for getting his Ph.D. was the theory that time began at one single moment, his professor kept on him for a long time, because Hawking has trouble finding his topic, but shortly after his diagnosis he came up with his idea. The idea was inspired by a physicist that he went and saw that talked about stars collapsing upon themselves. Upon giving his dissertation, his professors shortly thereafter congratulated him for his theory and earning his Ph.D. They then asked him what was next and he said to create one single equation that proved this. During this time at Cambridge, Hawking also met his future wife of 30 years, Jane Wilde, she was studying poetry. Shortly after his diagnosis, he was slowly shutting out the world, and she would not let him do that, she fought for him and was going to stand by him to fight his disease. In the end he gave in and married her, so he chose life with her and continuing his work, for the two years he thought he had left. .
Jane was Hawking's first love; they married at age 23 and were together for 30 years. She loved him and wanted to help him fight his disease. She cared for him, but was also his equal and supported him in everything he did. Together, they had three children, two boys and a girl. As Hawking's disease progressed, time became difficult for her, from caring for Hawking, caring for their children, and keeping up with daily tasks. Jane was very religious, while Stephen was atheist, so as time went on she got too busy to have time to even go to church on Sunday. However one day her mother convinced her to join the choir, so that she could have some time for herself.

From all this research I wanted to be able to understand why Stephen Hawking's theory has been the most widely accepted. ... In the years soon after graduating from Cambridge Hawking concentrated his works around black holes (Donaldson 4).

Stephen Hawking also poses timeless questions such as how did the universe begin and how big is our universe? Stephen Hawking holds that the universe began with a big bang, an immense explosion which sent the universe in motion. ... Do black holes really exist? According to Stephen Hawking, black holes are long dead stars which have collapsed into a dense ball of matter so strong that light cannot even escape it. A black hole contains an event horizon, which is the radius from which light cannot escape. ...

There are solutions of Einstein's general theory of relativity in which it is possible to fall into a black hole and come out of a white hole. ... In 1973 Stephen Hawking started investigating black holes and found that black holes are not completely black. ...
