Stephen William Hawking
"My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."
Stephen William Hawking or people may know him as Stephen Hawking, was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England and died on March 14, 2018, in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. He is an English theoretical physicist. He's Famous work is the theory of exploding black holes drew upon both relativity theory and quantum mechanics. other than that, He also worked on Space-Time singularities.
Hawking worked mostly around the area of general relativity, more specifically on the physics of black holes. In 1971 he suggested the universe was formed from a big bang of numerous objects containing as much as one billion tons of mass but occupying only the space of a proton. That makes these "Things" very dense, and the "Things" are called black holes. They are unique in that their immense mass and gravity require that they be ruled by the laws of relativity, while their minute size requires that the laws of quantum mechanics apply to them also. In 1974 Hawking proposed that, in accordance with the predictions of quantum theory, black holes emit subatomic particles until they exhaust their energy and finally explode. Hawking’s work greatly spurred efforts to theoretically delineate the properties of black holes, objects about which it was previously thought that nothing could be known. His work was also important because it showed these properties’ relationship to the laws of classical thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
Hawking’s contributions to physics earned him many exceptional honours. In 1974 the Royal Society elected him one of its youngest fellows. He became professor of gravitational physics at Cambridge in 1977, and in 1979 he was appointed to Cambridge’s Lucasian professorship of mathematics, a post once held by Isaac Newton. Hawking was made a Commander of the BritishEmpire(CBE) in 1982 and a Companion of Honour in 1989. He also received the Copley Medal the Royal Society in 2006 and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009. In 2008 he accepted a visiting research chair at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
His publications include The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time (1973; coauthored with G.F.R. Ellis), Superspace and Supergravity (1981), The Very Early Universe (1983), and the best sellers A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (1988), The Universe in a Nutshell (2001), A Briefer History of Time (2005), and The Grand Design (2010; coauthored with Leonard Mlodinow).

Hawking studied physics at University College, Oxford (B.A., 1962), and Trinity Hall, Cambridge (Ph.D., 1966). He was elected a research fellow at Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge. In the early 1960s Hawking contracted amyotropic lateral sclerosis, an incurable degenerative neuromuscular disease. He continued to work despite the disease’s progressively disabling effects.
