Stephen Hawking: Master of the Universe is a documentary television series produced by the television broadcaster Channel 4.
 The subject of the series is British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, known for his work on black holes, who is also the presenter of the series.
 The series includes interviews with astrophysicist Kim Weaver, Bernard Carr, a student of Hawking's, and three theoretical physicists: Michio Kaku, Edward Witten, known for his work on superstring theory, and Lisa Randall.
 The first episode premiered in 2008, twenty years after the publication of Hawking's bestselling popular science book "A Brief History of Time".
 The title is derived from a "Newsweek" cover, which labeled Hawking "Master of the Universe".
Hawking radiation also known as Hawking–Zel'dovich radiation is blackbody radiation that is predicted to be released by black holes, due to quantum effects near the event horizon.
 It is named after the physicist Stephen Hawking, who provided a theoretical argument for its existence in 1974, and sometimes also after Jacob Bekenstein, who predicted that black holes should have a finite entropy.
Gravitational-wave astronomy is an emerging branch of observational astronomy which aims to use gravitational waves (minute distortions of spacetime predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity) to collect observational data about objects such as neutron stars and black holes, events such as supernovae, and processes including those of the early universe shortly after the Big Bang.
A Brief History of Time is a 1991 biographical documentary film about the physicist Stephen Hawking, directed by Errol Morris.
 The title derives from Hawking's bestselling book "A Brief History of Time", but whereas the book is an explanation of cosmology, the film is a biography of Hawking's life, featuring interviews with family members, colleagues, and even his childhood nanny.
 The music is by frequent Morris collaborator, Philip Glass.
Abhas Mitra (born 18 June 1955) is an Indian astrophysicist best known for his distinct views on several front-line astrophysics concepts, particularly related to black holes and Big Bang cosmology involving the black hole information paradox.
A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes is a popular-science book on cosmology (the study of the universe) by British physicist Stephen Hawking.
 It was first published in 1988.
 Hawking wrote the book for nonspecialist readers with no prior knowledge of scientific theories.
Stephen Hawking's Favorite Places is an original documentary series that was released exclusively on CuriosityStream, in partnership with production company Bigger Bang.
 Stephen Hawking stars in and narrates the series, in which he pilots a Computer-generated imagery (CGI) space ship (the SS Hawking) on the journey of a lifetime, zooming from black holes to the Big Bang, Saturn to Santa Barbara, California.
 The first episode premiered in September 2016 and subsequent episodes are currently in production.
According to Kaku, technological advances that we take for granted today were declared impossible 150 years ago.
 William Thomson Kelvin (1824–1907), a mathematical physicist and creator of the Kelvin scale said publicly that “heavier than air” flying machines were impossible.
 “He thought X-rays were a hoax, and that radio had no future.”
 Likewise, Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937), a physicist who experimentally described the atom, thought the atom bomb was impossible and he compared it to moonshine (a crazy or foolish idea).
 Televisions, computers, and the Internet would seem incredibly fantastic to the people of the turn of the 20th century.
 Black holes were considered science fiction and even Einstein showed that black holes could not exist.
 19th century science had determined that it was impossible for the earth to be billions of years old.
 Even in the 1920s and 1930s, Robert Goddard was scoffed at because it was believed that rockets would never be able to go into space.
A primordial black hole is a hypothetical type of black hole formed during the high-density, inhomogeneous phase of the Big Bang due to the gravitational collapse of important density fluctuations.
 The concept was first proposed in 1971 by Stephen Hawking, who introduced the idea that black holes may exist that are smaller than stellar mass, and are thus not formed by stellar gravitational collapse.
 Several mechanisms have been proposed to produce the inhomogeneities at the origin of primordial black hole formation—such as that of cosmic inflation, reheating, or phase transitions.
Stephen William Hawking, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} ( born 8 January 1942) is an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge.
 His scientific works include a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation.
 Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.
 He is a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
