Part of the Famous Scientist Series highlighting individuals who contributed to the scientific progress of mankind. Do not attempt to remove the container, just open the cap.
Stephen William Hawking (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018) ) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. Among his significant scientific works have been a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set forth a cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vocal supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
