English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author (1942–2018) Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who, at the time of his death, was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge.[17][18][7] Between 1979 and 2009, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. Hawking was born in Oxford, into a family of physicians. Hawking's scientific works included 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 achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discussed his theories and cosmology in general. Early life Family Hawking was born on 8 January 1942[24][25] in Oxford to Frank and Isobel Eileen Hawking (née Walker). Career

Signature Stephen William Hawking (prononcé [ˈstiːvən ˈhɔːkɪŋ ] Écouter), CBE, né le à Oxford, est un physicien théoricien et cosmologiste britannique. La clé des principaux travaux scientifiques de Stephen Hawking à ce jour est fondée, en collaboration avec Roger Penrose, sur l'élaboration des théorèmes des singularités dans le cadre de la relativité générale, et la prédiction théorique que les trous noirs devraient émettre des radiations, aujourd'hui connues sous le nom de radiations de Hawking (ou parfois radiations de Bekenstein-Hawking)[4]. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Après la naissance de Stephen, la famille part s'installer à Londres, où son père dirige la division de parasitologie de l'Institut national de la recherche médicale[7]. En 1950, toute la famille déménage à St Albans dans le Hertfordshire.
