i have 3 science classes.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Stephen William Hawking, ( born 8 January 1942) is an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His scientific works include a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He is a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Hawking is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the US. In 2002, Hawking was ranked number 25 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009 and has achieved commercial success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general; his book \"A Brief History of Time\" appeared on the British \"Sunday Times\" best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I really like Steven Hawking. He was the first person to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and also quantum mechanics."}, {"role": "user", "content": "yeah he has an amazing mind and is just so intelligent!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Indeed he is, He is also a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics."}, {"role": "user", "content": "oh man quantum mechanics sounds just so complicated"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Indeed it does at first, In fact most theories in classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large (macroscopic) scale."}, {"role": "user", "content": "do you know how old he was when he made the discovery? Or can you tell me more about him?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "He learned it at a very young age in college I believe. Their really isnt any info on the actual age he started learning about Quantum Mechanics. "}, {"role": "user", "content": "i wonder how much of a big deal it was in his college days, did he win any awards?"}]
