Stephen Hawking

A brilliant British theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking revolutionized our understanding of black holes and cosmology. His groundbreaking work on Hawking radiation demonstrated that black holes are not entirely black but emit radiation, a consequence of quantum mechanics near the event horizon. Despite facing severe physical challenges from ALS, his contributions profoundly shaped modern physics, making complex concepts accessible to a global audience.
