I think Stephen King is a good writer but kinda over rated
He is my favorite physicist.
Im sorry I typed King" and not Hawking", I have always felt bad about his disease 
Yes, he is the Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology.
Didn't he pass away recently?
I am not sure, but he was born January 8 1942.
That is a really long time ago! Im sure he was a great man as well as a physicist
He collaborated with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems.
