Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 to Dr. Frank Hawking‚ a research biologist‚ and Isobel Hawking. He had two younger sisters‚ Philippa and Mary‚ and an adopted brother‚ Edward.[11] Though Hawking’s parents were living in North London‚ they moved to Oxford while his mother was pregnant with Stephen‚ desiring a safer location for the birth of their first child. (London was under attack at the time by the Luftwaffe.)[12] According to Hawking‚ a German V-2 missile struck only a few streets away

The science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two‚ grouped in traditional fields such as acoustics‚ optics‚ mechanics‚ thermodynamics‚ and electromagnetism‚ as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics‚ cryogenics‚ solid-state physics‚ particle physics‚ and plasma physics. Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force

Tug-of-War "Popular Mechanics‚" by Raymond Carver‚ was written in order to make the audience imagine their own details. The descriptions in this story are very blunt‚ the man and woman in the story are nameless with no clue of physical description‚ and there is no mention of what city‚ state‚ or country the story takes place. This allows the reader to picture the surroundings and details of the story in their own way; maybe the reader has heard of or been in similar situations and they can put

stories that are called “Popular Mechanics” by Raymond Carver and “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahi. These stories aren’t just ordinary stories that we read everyday no these two stories have a big twisted into it. Instead of having a happily ever after you get a shocking and horrifying ending. What connects these two stories is that their both short stories and the author in both stories want the readers to guess what happens in the story. For “Popular Mechanics” is by Raymond Carver‚ who made
