“Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.”

Theoretical physicist and cosmologist from the UK, active in the 20th and 21st centuries. His work revolutionized the understanding of black holes, singularities, and the origins of the universe. Known for bridging complex physics with accessible public engagement, he also explored the intersection of science and philosophy.
