Attends St Albans school in North London, where he develops a passion for mathematics. His father wants him to study medicine.

1959 to 1962

Specialises in physics at University College Oxford. Graduates with a first class degree in natural sciences.

1963

Begins research in cosmology and general relativity at the University of Cambridge. He is diagnosed with an "incurable disease" at the age of 21, which is later found to be Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a rare progressive disease that effects movement and speech. He continues with his research.

1966

Completes his doctorate and is awarded a fellowship at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He works on singularities in the theory of general relativity and applies his ideas to the study of black holes. Collaborates with mathematician Roger Penrose, who was working at Birkbeck College in London.

1970

Discovers a remarkable property: by using quantum theory and general relativity he is able to show that black holes can emit radiation.

1973

Joins the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics at Cambridge.

In the same year he discovers, to his disbelief, that black holes could leak energy and particles into space, and even explode in a fountain of high-energy sparks.

1974

His breakthrough discovery is published in the journal Nature, in a paper entitled Black hole Explosion?

1977

Appointed professor of gravitational physics at Cambridge.

1979

Appointed Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge (a chair held by Sir Isaac Newton in 1663). Elected as a fellow of the Royal Society.

1982

Awarded a CBE by the Queen.

1988

Publishes A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, a classic introduction to today's most important scientific ideas about the cosmos. Recorded in the 1998 Guinness Book of Records as an all-time bestseller.

1989

Made a companion of honour.

1993

Publishes Black Holes and Baby Universes, and other Essays, a collection of scientific articles exploring ways in which the universe may be governed.

1998

Publishes Stephen Hawking's Universe: The Cosmos Explained, a book about the basis of our existence and of everything around us.

November 2001

Releases Universe in a Nutshell in the UK, a book that unravels the mysteries of recent breakthroughs in physics.

September 2002

Releases On the Shoulders of Giants, The Great Works of Physics and Astronomy, an exploration of some of the greatest visionaries in the history of science including Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton and Einstein.

Publishes The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe, a book that presents the most complex theories of physics past and present.

July 2004

Hawking announces that he has solved the Black Hole paradox, which has been a troubling scientists for years. He presents his most recent findings at the international conference on general relativity and gravitation in Dublin.
