Best Answer

Roger Penrose contributed significantly to the description of physical processes involved in the formation of black holes from massive stars, and the nature of their singularities (which Hawking subsequently extended into formal theorems). He also developed theories regarding the ability to observe them ("cosmic censorship").

What did Stephen Hawking invented?

UK physicist and cosmologist Dr. Stephen Hawking is not known to have invented anything. He is a physicist at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology in Cambridge, England. However, he and physicist Roger Penrose provided much of the mathematical support for the existence of black holes, and the means by which they might form and dissipate. The theoretical loss of mass by a black hole is referred to as Hawking radiation.

What is stephen hawking's black hole theory?

The possibility of black holes was known before Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking's contribution to the theory was mainly that a black hole would gradually evaporate, due to certain quantum effects that occur close to the black hole's event horizon.


How are blackholes and wormholes related?

There is a theory that tells that when you fall in a black hole, you are not destroyed but you are "teleported" to a white hole. The wormhole is a inter-dimensional tunnel that connects a black hole to a white hole.


How does a black hole wrap the space-time fabric?
