In terms of academic life he has contributed to our understanding of the origins of the Universe. His two main theories being that the Universe expanded from the initial 'Big Bang'. He believes that straight after this event the Universe as we know it was the size of a pea for a fraction of time. It then began expanding, and has been doing so ever since. His second, and probably most exciting discovery is that of 'Hawking Radiation'. He proposed that Black Holes existed, and that they actually emit light, before evaporating. It is thought he may win the Nobel prize for this work. Understanding the dynamics of the Universe can help us understand the big questions of the life, the Universe and everything.
