He not only became an expert in black holes, but he has now written a book called A short history of time, telling us many things we don't know about time.

Where was Steven Hawking born?
Stephen Hawking was born on January 08, 1942
What are Stephen Hawking's interests?
Stephen Hawking's interests are physical science, and mathematics.
Who studied black holes and sub-atomic particles?
British cosmologist Stephen William Hawking was born in England on Jan. 8, 1942 - 300 years to the day after the death of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. He attended University College, Oxford, where he studied physics, despite his father's urging to focus on medicine. Hawking went on to Cambridge to research cosmology, the study of the universe as a whole.In early 1963, just shy of his 21st birthday, Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He was not expected to live more than two years. Completing his doctorate did not appear likely. Yet, Hawking defied the odds, not only attaining his Ph.D. but also forging new roads into the understanding of the universe in the decades since.In 1979, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world (the second holder was Sir Isaac Newton, also a member of the Royal Society."All of my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist."

Why was it so hard to prove that black holes exist?
no dude, the evidences of the existence of black holes is now widely accepted and i believe that black holes rules our universe but it is difficult to find them because black holes are nearly the perfectly black bodies
What is a good black hole candidate?
Read the Wikipedia article on "List of black holes". There you'll find a list of black holes and black hole candidates.
How did Stephen hawking find a black hole?
Actually he didn't.
When did stephan hawking find out what black holes were?
Most likely in the University classroom as an undergraduate student, that's where most people of his generation learned about black holes. But of course what he learned about was ordinary stellar black holes.It was much later when he made his own "what if" hypothesis on microscopic black holes. After solving the equations of general relativity for this case and including the effects of quantum mechanics, he made his theory including Hawking Radiation, evaporation of black holes, and their eventual explosion. This remains theoretical, as his black holes have still not been observed.

Maybe maybe not find it out by your self eqg

How did Sir Stephen Hawking's collect his evidence about the black holes?
He did not collect evidence. He simply proposed a "what if" then solved the equations of general relativity and quantum mechanics to find out what would happen in such a situation. The results of that analysis are his theories of microscopic black holes that evaporate and eventually explode.His theories have no effect at all on black holes that formed from stars, they don't evaporate.Note: this is exactly what Einstein did when he developed the theories of relativity. He had no evidence, he just proposed a "what if" then determined what would happen in that situation. It took others years to collect the evidence to show those predictions (strange as they were) to be correct.
