Things You Didn’t Know About Stephen Hawking

Even if you don’t keep a close eye on new developments in physics, you’ve probably heard of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking. 【1】

These days, we know Hawking as a brilliant mind whose theories are difficult for a nonscientific mind to grasp. This is why it may come as a shock to learn that Hawking was a slacker when it came to his school studies.

【2】 With a little more effort, he brought those grades up to about average, but not much better. However, from an early age he was interested in how things worked. He has talked about how he was known to take apart clocks and radios. However, he admits he wasn’t very good at putting them back together so they could work again.

Stephen Hawking took a liking to mathematics from an early age, and he would have liked to have majored in it. 【3】 He hoped Stephen would instead study medicine.

But, for all his interest in science, Stephen didn’t care for biology. He has said that he found it to be “too inexact, too descriptive (叙述的)”. 【4】

One problem, however, was that Oxford didn’t have mathematics as a major. The result was that Stephen would attend Oxford and major in physics. 【5】 That’s why he chose to study universe.

A. His father wanted to send him to Oxford.

B. His father, Frank, however, had different ideas.

C. Actually, he focused on the bigger questions.

D. He would have rather devoted his mind to more precise concepts.

E. In fact, when he was 9, his grades ranked among the worst in his class.

F. However, there’re many interesting facts you might not know about him.
