Stephen Hawking gained international popularity and increased his earnings in 1974, when he made a scientific discovery. Then Stephen discovered so called Hawking Radiation. To explain in simple words, the cosmologist proved that not everything escaped in black holes (as it was supposed earlier). Some part of radiation can “run away” from the black hole. Thus the hole loses the part of its energy, which theoretically can cause its disappearance one day.
This discovery made Stephen Hawking popular all over the world and brought him a string of awards. The scientist gained international admiration not just for his research work but also for the fact, that he had made it, being absolutely disabled.
