To my mind, Stephen Hawking’s legacy is (1) ________
he was born a brilliant scientist who came up with some of
the most revolutionary ideas of our time and a great
communicator who managed to (2)__________ the world
with him on a remarkable scientific journey. He got people
across the world talking and (3)__________ about complex
science.
Some of his early work was linked to Einstein’s theory of
general relativity, which takes (4)__________ and time and
squashes them together to make what we (5)__________,
including black holes. Before Stephen’s work it was thought
that nothing could escape a black hole, but his theoretical
work led to the theory of Hawking radiation, which allows
some radiation to leak (6)__________ a black hole, enabling
them to slowly decay and eventually evaporate.
Stephen also worked on what has been called the Grand
Theory of Everything - a single theory that would explain
everything in the universe on a small and large (7)_______.
In Physics, we’ve made great inroads in our understanding
our universe. On the very small scale we have quantum
mechanics to explain how things work, and (8)________ the
grand cosmological scale we have general relativity to
explain how things operate. But Stephen, with others, was
trying to go (9)__________ to find a theory that linked both
these domains. It was a grand challenge, and I cannot think
of a better person to (10)__________ it on.
Section 2 :
