Stephen Hawking was a renowned theoretical physicist who made many significant contributions to our understanding of the universe.
Despite facing the difficulties caused by ALS (a fatal motor neuron disease), which left him almost completely paralyzed and dependent on a wheelchair for movement, Hawking continued to make contributions to the field of theoretical physics. He used a speech-generating device that was operated by small facial movements to communicate and became an iconic figure in the scientific community.
One of Hawking’s most famous contributions was his discovery that black holes are not completely black, but rather they emit radiation, now known as Hawking radiation. This was a major breakthrough in our understanding of black holes and had far-reaching implications for our understanding of the fundamental nature of space and time.
Hawking also made significant contributions to our understanding of the early universe and the origins of the cosmos. He proposed the idea of cosmic inflation, which suggests that the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion in the moments after the Big Bang.
In addition to his scientific work, Hawking was also known for his popular science writing and his ability to explain complex scientific concepts to a wider audience. He wrote several best-selling books, including “A Brief History of Time,” which introduced millions of people to the wonders of the cosmos.
Apart from this some of his other books also got a lot of fame.We will consider it appropriate to mention some of them.
