Stephen Hawking, the renowned British physicist, was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. He is famous for his contributions to physics and astronomy, particularly his work on black holes.

Hawking's most famous work includes the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, now known as Hawking radiation. This discovery was pivotal as it suggested that black holes are not entirely black but can release energy and gradually lose mass, eventually evaporating and disappearing.
