feb 11, 1970 - English physicist Stephen Hawking

Description:

provides, along with Roger Penrose, theorems regarding singularities in space-time, indicating that singularities and black holes are actually a fairly generic feature of general relativity. He also predicts that black holes should in theory emit radiation (known today as Hawking radiation) until they eventually exhaust their energy and evaporate.
