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!
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
their primary claims), they have proven extremely difficult to incorporate into one consistent, cohesive model.
Gravity is negligible in many areas of particle physics, so that unification between general relativity and quantum mechanics is not an urgent issue in those particular applications. However, the lack of a correct theory of quantum gravity is an important issue in physical cosmology and the search by physicists for an elegant "Theory of Everything" (TOE). Consequently, resolving the inconsistencies between both theories has been a major goal of 20th- and
