Stephen Hawking was a renowned British theoretical physicist and cosmologist, born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. Despite being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at a young age, Hawking made groundbreaking contributions to the fields of physics and cosmology, particularly in the study of black holes and the nature of the universe. His work on the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, now known as Hawking radiation, revolutionized our understanding of these celestial phenomena. Hawking was also known for his bestselling book “A Brief History of Time” (1988), which aimed to make complex scientific concepts accessible to the general public. Throughout his career, Hawking received numerous awards, honors, and academic distinctions, becoming one of the most recognized and influential scientists of his time. His legacy continues to inspire scientists and non-scientists alike, shaping our understanding of the cosmos and the fundamental laws of physics.
