What made Hawking such a trailblazer were his attempts to merge quantum physics and general relativity. The situation in modern physics is both powerful and dire. We have two incredibly strong theories that have passed every test we can throw at them, and yet we can’t unify them. General relativity is our theory of gravity, with thanks to Einstein,...
Hawking famously describedthe quest for a theory of everything in analogy to God: He was forced to explain this line many times. As a devout atheist he made it clear that he didn’t mean we would understand a deity, but rather that we would be able to explain, using physics, the birth of the universe itself, and all of the processes within it, thus ...
We know that nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole’s gravitational pull. Nevertheless, Hawking discovered that black holes should “glow”. The light they emit is now known as “Hawking radiation”. But if light can’t escape from black holes, how can they glow? The event horizon of a black hole is the point of no return. Once you are within ...
Hawking became one of the world’s most recognisable physicists. His fame saw him appear frequently in popular culture including on the Simpsons and Star Trek (where he played himself). Not only a superb researcher, he was a brilliant communicator, and this set him apart from his peers. His A Brief History of Timesold more than 10 million copies and...
That Hawking survived until age 76 is truly remarkable. Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as a 22 year old, he was given only two years to live. Rather than being defeated by such a diagnosis he dove into research with an urgency perhaps inspired by his limited time. He determined to do something significant with his time remaining...
The Nature of the Universe — Hawking explores the fundamental structure and dynamics of the universe, from the vastness of galaxies to the minutiae of subatomic particles. This theme invites readers to ponder the universe’s origin, its current state, and its eventual fate.
Oct 9, 1998 · Now, in everyday language, Stephen Hawking's Universe reveals step-by-step how we can all share his understanding of the cosmos, and our own place within it. Stargazing has never been the same since cosmologists discovered that galaxies are moving away from each other at an extraordinary speed.

This work is a voyage of discovery with an astonishing set of conclusions that will enable us to understand how matter can be produced from nothing at all and will provide us with an explanation for the basis of our existence and that of everything around us.
