Stephen Hawking – The biography
I have just completed Stephen Hawking – A biography by Kristine Larsen. The book is really awesome. The life long journey is described very well taking one through personal and professional aspects of a cosmological scientist who made breakthrough in black hole theories.
I heard a lot about him in newspaper, magazine and TV, but it was never detail enough for me to understand. Thus, I grabbed the book and learned his life struggle. He has given a good challenge to the life in all the circumstances starting from the childhood to till date. His work is more concentrated about the black hole theories and redefining the known universe earlier. He is very straight when it comes to challenge the invalid theories. He took many bets and won as well. He has received so many awards and honors from around the World. He has the burning desire to do something. Thouch he was physically challenged by ALS, but he showed tremendous work of the mind. If one desire, who can stop him. He learned to do all the theory calculation in his mind.
He openly accepted himself as not believing in God. He feels that everything can be understood through sciense. He refined the space-time theory bringing in the imagenary time. He also wrote many papers and books like “A Brief History of time”, “Universe in a nutshell” etc.
After reading the scientific discovery of him and the way the universe is balanced and going to be; how can one deny the existence of God?
Close the ‘Distance’
The human life is interwoven through the relationship. If we remove the relationship from the human life, it is as like a dried bush. The relationship waters the bush and makes it active.
Anywhere we go, we are involved with people. We interact with new group of people and it becomes our identity. We have family, team, office, college, school, gym and so on kind of group of people. We have different roles and responsibilities in each of them. Each role has its own importance and the same way it demands its own tolls.
The human is so selfish that it would like to see the what benefits can be achieved before starting any relationship. Many a time a people have shallow relationships with some people, and the close with some special people. To achieve the close relationship, the person sometimes compromise, lose ego and try to make the other people happy in any way. In other form, people would like to close the ‘Distance’ in other sense.
The better the distance is closed, the better the relationship is and better the life is. It is required to put the efforts by each end. Sometimes one has to initiate though other party is not interested. It takes sometimes, but it works and the life is better.
