Another reason he didn't do mathematics is because when he attended University College, Oxford in 1959 they didn't do mathematics. Hawking's peers didn't really realize how intelligent he was until his second year of University. They were assigned 13 honors questions in the area of Electricity and Magnetism, and while it took his friends Derek, Gordon and Richard a week to do 2 1/2 of them, Hawking did the first 10 in 3 hours. "Because he didn't have time to finish the rest" (Hawking, ln. 71) was his reason for not completing all 13. He was a coxswain in the Boat Club, and was of course a member of the Boyle Society (the University College's physics society). At one point during his time at the University, when Hawking fell down a flight of stairs, he totally f! orgot who he was for a few minutes, but eventually he remembered who he was, where he was, and what he did last week, last month, and last year. It took 2 hours for him to remember actually falling down the stairs. Shortly after this he took a Mensa test to see if he was still bright or not and got 200 or 250: so there was no permanent damage. In his 3rd year he began to notice that his hands were less useful than before. Hawking graduated from Oxford in 1962, at the age of 20, and took a trip to Persia with a friend. During the visit he got sick and after having tests shortly after returning and going up to Cambridge to do Graduate work, he was diagnosed with Amytropic lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gerhig's disease, or motor neuron disease as it is called in England. After being diagnosed with 2 1/2 years to live, Hawking decided to not start any research--believing that he was dying, he though he may not even finish his Ph.D. It was around this time that he met his future wife, Jane Wilde. (Scherniak, p.2 ln. 14) Hawking's graduate thesis discussed what happens when a star burns off its fuel and collapses into a black hole.

(Hawking, 41) Although many scientists still maintain that Max Plank's quantum mechanics theory is more fundamental than Einstein's theories of relativity, the numerous arguments presented in the paper as well as the results of Hawking's continuous work have set the precedent for researching the existence of distortions in the fabric of spacetime as the direct cause of the presence of force. ...
