Stephen Hawking's PhD thesis posted online, crashes Cambridge website
Pioneering theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking’s PhD thesis has for the first time been made available freely online, though high demand saw tens of thousands of Hawking fans crash the Cambridge website from which the 1966 work could be downloaded.
Hawking is famed for his groundbreaking work on relativity and black holes. His 1988 book “A Brief History of Time”became an unlikely bestseller, straddling the literary chasm between theoretical physics and popular non-fiction.
However, before all of that he had to get through university, and he wrote his thesis “Properties of Expanding Universes”as a 24-year-old student at Cambridge University in 1966. The 134-page scientific work is, according to the university, the most requested item in its library.
