Is it possible to compare the IQ of Einstein with Stephen Hawking if they live at the same period of time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is not possible to directly compare the IQ of Einstein and Hawking because they lived in different time periods. IQ tests and standards have evolved over time, and comparing the scores of individuals from different eras would not be a fair or accurate assessment of their intelligence. Additionally, IQ is just one measure of intelligence and does not capture the full breadth of a person's intellectual abilities.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21, which gradually caused paralysis and made him unable to speak or move. Despite his disability, Hawking went on to become one of the most influential theoretical physicists of his time, using a speech-generating device to communicate and making significant contributions to our understanding of black holes and the nature of space and time.

Is there a difference between ALS and Lou Gehrig's disease?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because Lou Gehrig (Yankee's baseball player) developed the disease and still managed to thank everybody for his great life he was given.

How did Stephen Hawking' s get Lou Gehrig's disease?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Scientists have not been able to find a cause for the disease although they believe it could be caused by a virus or defects to DNA, the immune system, or enzymes found in one's body. These defects may be caused by pesticides or other types of toxins/poisons. Much more research must be done before a true cause will be found.

What disease did Lou Gehrig have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your question should be WHO is Lou Gehrig. He was a famous American baseball player. He was forced to stop playing ball due to an illness, MND.Motor neurone disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes rapidly progressive muscle weakness. Specifically, the disease affects nerve cells (motor neurons) that control the muscles that enable you to move, speak, breathe and swallow.MND is also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Can Stephen hawking wipe his butt by himself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stephen Person, of Cambridge Adaptive Kinetics, fitted a small How_does_Stephen_Hawking_talkand a silicon prosthetic to my wheel chair. This system allowed me to defecate much better than I could before. I can manage up to 15 ounces a minute. I can either expel what I've stored, or save it to disk. I can then print it out, or call it back and speak it sentence by sentence. Using this system, I have ejected a book, and dozens of scientific papers. I have also expunged many scientific and popular talks. They have all been well received, and remarked upon favorably for their texture and fragrance. I think that is in a large part due to the quality of the prosthetic anus, which is made by Shittagans Plus. One's feces are very important. If you have an inconsistent stool, people are likely to treat you as mentally deficient: Does he take sugar? Corn? Walnuts?! This prosthetic is by far the best I have utilized, because it varies the amount of effort required, and doesn't speak like a Dalek. The only trouble is that it gives me an American accent, but only while on the toilet."

Why were Stephen Hawking's discoveries important?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Of Hawking's many contributions to theoretical physics, perhaps two stand out. His work on discovering and defining black holes has allowed us to explain much of the missing information about how the universe started and about it's ultimate fate.

Secondly, his proposal of matter-antimatter pair anhillation near a black hole event horizon and his conclusions that black holes must actually glow slightly (more glow for smaller black holes) is one of the best scientific theories that tie together Einstein's theory of Relativity and Quantum theory. These two great breakthroughs of the 20th century are often in conflict and this is a cause of great irritation and embarrassment to physicists (who hate to be wrong or even partly right). So, Hawking's work is seen as a paragon because it is consistant with both theories.
