A life well lived.
Here are just a few of his contributions:
He helped prove the existence of singularities and answer questions surrounding the gravity produced by them: Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems.
Co-discovered the four laws of black hole mechanics.
Developed the theory that black holes emit radiation, now known as Hawking Radiation. Probably his greatest contribution to science.
Contributed to the theory that time and space did not exist prior to the Big Bang, this is still one of the most widely accepted theories on the initial state of the universe: the Hartle-Hawking State.
Contributed to the theory of cosmic expansion. The idea that the universe expanded exponentially at first and then slower over time after the Big Bang.
Argued against Peter Higgs that the Higgs boson did not exist and could not be proven. Recommended Higgs for the Nobel prize in physics when the Higgs Boson was discovered in 2012.
Wrote A Brief History of Time, that explained topics in cosmology in non technical terms that the public could better understand. Also authored Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, The Universe in a Nutshell, On The Shoulders of Giants, and God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History.
Hawking radiation explained.
Well, kind of.
Steven hawking died on Albert Einstein’s birthday.

Young man organized a high school walkout and is thrilled at the turn out. Imagine that. Kids had to coaxed to skip school and one guy takes credit that they actually did it. All of that aside, I am very proud of these young people. This is their country, too, and they deserve a say. Activism is a wonderful thing to see in a generation that doesn't get any credit for their social awareness.
