James Hartle, Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara. He's co-authored some books with Stephen and summarized some of Stephen's accomplishments in physics. These are some of his main theories:
- The Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems give us confidence the universe started in a big bang.
- The Hawking radiation from black holes shows that black holes can become white hot and evaporate.
- The "no boundary" state of the universe provides a theory of the quantum origin of the universe.
