Stephen Hawking was pretty amazing. He really had a genius mind!
Yes, he was a great theoretical physicist.
Yes, and I heard he was also talented in other areas too?\
He also is a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
I thought I read he had a theory in string theory, but I can't remember if that was correct or not.
String theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. I am not sure if he did or did not.
Yes, I remember he was on a few episodes of the show "The Big Bang Theory". It was pretty funy
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is an American television sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom served as executive producers on the series, along with Steven Molaro.

The show originally centered on five characters living in Pasadena, California: Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, both physicists at Caltech,
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
