He never won a Nobel prize and lost several scientific wagers, but Stephen Hawking's contributions to the field of cosmology are undoubted. First-line physicists tell Sinc the ideas of the popular scientist that have helped us to better understand our universe, from black holes that emit radiation and vanish to quantum seeds that create galaxies or space-time curvatures that lead us to the Big Bang.
When a star collapses forming a black hole, a space-time singularity is created wherein the laws of Physics no longer work. In 1965 Sir Roger Penrose presented a theorem where he associated that singularity with so-called ''trapped surfaces'' that shrink over time. That hypothesis -one of the results of the general theory of relativity- is now celebrating its anniversary.
