He is completely paralyzed, unable to speak, and only three fingers can move in his hand. 1979 served as Lucas professor of mathematics from 2009 to 2009. His main research fields are cosmology and black holes. He proved the singularity theorem and the black hole area theorem of general relativity, put forward the black hole evaporation theory and the borderless Hawking universe model, and took an important step to unify the two basic theories of physics in the 20th century-Einstein's theory of relativity and Planck's theory of quantum mechanics.
