In October 1962, Stephen Hawking embarked on his graduate studies at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, following the completion of his first-class BA degree in physics. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a remarkable academic journey that would lead him to become one of the most influential theoretical physicists of our time. During his time at Cambridge, Hawking's focus was on applied mathematics and theoretical physics, with a particular emphasis on general relativity. His dedication and intellect culminated in March 1966 when he successfully obtained his PhD degree. This period not only laid the groundwork for his groundbreaking research but also set the stage for his future contributions to cosmology and black hole physics. Hawking's time at Cambridge was characterized by a blend of rigorous academic pursuit and personal exploration, including a memorable trip to Iran with a friend, which enriched his worldview. His graduate work at such a prestigious institution was instrumental in shaping his theories and ideas that would later revolutionize our understanding of the universe. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #StephenHawking #CambridgeUniversity #GraduateStudies #TheoreticalPhysics #GeneralRelativity
