Interesting history facts.
But actually Dr. Steven Hawking was introduced to black hole theory by Professor Sir Rodger Penrose.
Dr. Steven Hawking is famous for Hawking Radiation theory, the disputed theory that predicts that micro black holes might evaporate.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might produce micro black holes (MBH) at a rate of one per second, and Dr. Hawking believes they would evaporate. Other scientists believe that Hawking Radiation is unlikely to exist and are very concerned. There is even a federal lawsuit seeking verified proof of safety.
