Hawking, StephenWilliam
Hawking, StephenWilliam (1942– )Britishtheoretical physicist. He has established a powerful reputation, despite being afflicted by a progressively disabling motor neurone disease for nearly all of his adult life. He has drawn on the
general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics to study
singularities in the
Big Bang and
black holes, showing that small black holes emit
Hawking radiation. He turned to popularization with
A Brief History of Time (1988) which sold more copies than any other book on science. Much of Hawking's work is directed towards a single theory that will unite gravity with quantum mechanics.
