However difficult life may
seem, there is
seem, there is
always something
you can do,
and succeed at.
It matters that you don’t just give up.

Discoveries
Universe That Has No Space-Time Boundaries
He believed that you can’t have time or space before the Big Bang. As a result, this proved that the universe has no space-time boundaries.
Black Hole Radiation
A black hole is a collapsed star that has zero volume and infinite mass and are believed to be very dense and nothing could escape once it has passed through them. Hawking postulated the existence of radiation that emits through a black hole.
Possibility of Extraterrestrial Life
he strongly believed that the Earth had already been visited by extraterrestrial life. Now, that life was in the form of viruses or bacteria that Hawking enjoyed imagining.
Discoveries
The Big Bang Theory
describes how the whole universe expanded from an initial state to high density. On the other hand, the hypothesis in this theory states that all the matter in this universe came into existence at the same time. Now, the estimation of that could be 13.8 billion years ago.

The Origination of Universe ( The Theory of Everything )
This theory explains that the whole universe started infinitely small and, over the years, that small unit became a larger density and he called it a singularity.
- 1982
Cosmic Inflation Theory
Physical cosmology, cosmological inflation, and inflation are all a theory of the exponential expansion of space in the early universe. Cosmic inflation is the concept of faster-than-light expansion that spawned many others in this universe.
