    Stephen Hawking was a renowned physicist known for his discoveries about black holes and contributions to cosmology. Some of his key accomplishments included discovering that black holes emit radiation, theorizing the existence of space-time singularities with infinite density within black holes, and helping develop the theory of cosmic inflation. He studied at the University of Oxford and University of Cambridge in England, where he later became a professor, and published the popular science book "A Brief History of Time".

    Stephen Hawking was
    Where?: Hawking studied at the University of
    born in Oxford, England
    Oxford and pursued a PhD at the
    on January 8, 1942
    University of Cambridge. Both
    schools are located in England.

    University of Oxford He became a professor at the


    University of Cambridge and was later
    Oxford, England
    appointed Cambridge's Lucasian
    professorship of mathematics. That is
    where he did most of his research.

    University of Cambridge
    How?:
    Stephen Hawking’s discovery of radiation emission from
    black holes was influenced by his visit to Moscow, Russia in
    1973. There he was introduced to a the theory by Yakov
    Zel’dovich and Alexei Starobinsky that rotating black holes
    create and emit particles. Another physicist, Vladimir Gribov,
    believed that non-rotating black holes would still emit
    particles. Hawking was convinced by these theories and
    started to form calculations. To his surprise, his calculations
    proved that the theories were right and black holes did emit
    radiation. This radiation was dubbed as “Hawking radiation.”
    Why?:
    The contributions of Stephen Hawking is
    important because it give us a better
    understanding of the physical nature of the
    universe. Hawking was not able to observe a black
    hole, but he was able to delineate the properties of
    black holes by forming calculations. His most
    important finding was that black holes spewed
    radiation. Which proved that black holes are
    identifiable with special instruments. Today,
    scientist are now better equipped to observe and
    study the mechanics of a black hole. In 2019, the
    first ever photo of a black hole was taken by 300
    international scientists. His findings may not have
    impacted our lives, but it increased our general
    knowledge and understanding of the universe and
    our place in it.
