I really like Steven Hawking. He was the first person to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and also quantum mechanics.
yeah he has an amazing mind and is just so intelligent!
Indeed he is, He is also a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
oh man quantum mechanics sounds just so complicated
Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.
Classical physics, the physics existing before quantum mechanics, describes nature at ordinary (macroscopic) scale. Most theories in classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large (macroscopic) scale.
Quantum mechanics differs
Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Hawking achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general. His book "A Brief History of Time" appeared on the British "Sunday Times" best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. Hawking was a Fellow of the Royal Society
