Stephen Hawking

Forfatterbiografi

Stephen Hawking (8. januar 1942 – 14. marts 2018) var en engelsk teoretisk fysiker, kosmolog og populærvidenskabelig forfatter. Han blev født i Oxford i England og var britisk statsborger. Hawking skrev både faglitteratur og formidlede avanceret kosmologi i en bredt tilgængelig stil, hvilket gjorde ham til en af de mest læste formidlere af moderne fysik i det 20. og 21. århundrede. Som forfatter var han især kendt for værker om universets grundlæggende spørgsmål og sorte huller, herunder A Brief History of Time, The Universe in a Nutshell og A Briefer History of Time. Hans bøger kombinerede videnskabelig indsigt med essays og forklaringer, der appellerede til ikke-specialister. I Will We Survive on Earth? undersøger han menneskehedens muligheder for at overleve på Jorden og hvorfor udvidelse ud i rummet kan være afgørende. Hawking modtog en række større hædersbevisninger i løbet af sin karriere; blandt andet nævnes IOP’s Dirac Medal og priser som Royal Astronomical Society’s Gold Medal, Wolf Prize samt Royal Society’s Copley Medal. Hans betydning for litteraturen ligger især i, at han skabte stor efterspørgsel på populærvidenskab og gjorde komplekse ideer om kosmos til læsning for et internationalt publikum.
