Question: The author of "A Brief History of Time" was born on what date?

A science book is a work of nonfiction, usually written by a scientist, researcher, or professor like Stephen Hawking ("A Brief History of Time"), or sometimes by a non-scientist such as Bill Bryson ("A Short History of Nearly Everything").  Usually these books are written for a wide audience presumed to have a general education rather than a specifically scientific training, as opposed to the very narrow audience that a scientific paper would have, and are therefore referred to as popular science.  As such, they require considerable talent on the part of the author to sufficiently explain difficult topics to <SEP> Charles Village is a neighborhood located in the north-central area of Baltimore, Maryland, USA.  It is a middle-class area with many single-family homes that is in proximity to many of Baltimore's urban amenities.  The neighborhood began in 1869 when 50 acre of land were purchased for development.  The land was divided and turned over to various builders who constructed home exteriors, leaving the interiors to be custom built according to buyer specifications.  The area was first developed as a streetcar suburb in the early 20th century, and is thought to be the first community to employ tract housing tactics.  At the time, the area was known as "Peabody Heights;" the moniker "Charles Village," derived from Charles Street, the area's major north-south corridor, was coined in the 1970s as the beginning of a process of conceptually grouping a large and somewhat heterogeneous area.  The neighborhood history has been researched and published by Gregory J. Alexander and Paul K. Williams in their book "Charles Village: A Brief History" (The History Press, 2009). <SEP> Chronologie (English: "chronology" – some later reissues use the English spelling) is the eleventh studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, and was released on Disques Dreyfus (with license to Polydor) in 1993.  "Chronologie Part 4" and "Chronologie Part 5" started out as a composition for the Swiss watch company Swatch.  The sound of "Chronologie" was based on a new wave of electronic dance music that had been developing since the late 1980s.  Like Jarre's previous album "Waiting for Cousteau", "Chronologie" charted at Number 11 in the UK charts.  It is inspired by Stephen Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time".  The album cover art was created by long-time collaborator Michel Granger. <SEP>  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.
