Hawking, Stephen William (1942–2018) British mathematician and theoretical physicist who was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. He suffered from motor neurone disease for most of his adult life. His main contributions relate to the understanding of the nature of black holes: together with Roger Penrose, he mathematically proved that, in a cosmos obeying the laws of general relativity and standard cosmological models, singularities would emerge and that the universe necessarily began with a singularity; he also theorized the ‘Hawking radiation' emitted by black holes.
