Inside The Mind Of Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking, though suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has developed a unique understanding of the universe. He supplied mathematical proof, that any black hole is fully described by the three properties of mass, angular momentum, and electric charge. Hawking also suggested that, upon analysis of gamma-ray emissions, after the Big Bang, primordial or mini black holes were formed. He calculated that black holes should thermally create and emit subatomic particles, known today as Hawking radiation until they exhaust their energy and evaporate. Among Hawking’s many other scientific investigations, included in the study of quantum cosmology, cosmic inflation, helium production in anisotropic Big Bang universes, large N cosmology, the density matrix of the universe, topology and structure of the universe, baby universes, Yang-Mills instantons, and the S matrix; anti-de Sitter space, quantum entanglement, and entropy; the nature of space and time, including the arrow of time; spacetime foam, string theory, supergravity, Euclidean quantum gravity, the gravitational Hamiltonian; Brans-Dicke and Hoyle-Narlikar theories of gravitation; gravitational radiation, and wormholes. Naked Science investigates the extraordinary work of Stephen Hawking explaining how the universe works.
