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." (Wikipedia)
In the mid 1970's, Stephen Hawking put forth the idea that black holes have the capability to emit radiation.

He studied black holes and the subatomic particles that radiated from them?
That most likely refers to Stephen Hawking.
Who studied black holes and the subatomic plarticles that radiate from them?
Stephen Hawking did.
Who study the black holes and subatomic particles?
Black holes and subatomic particles are a subject of interest in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and particle physics. Perhaps the most famous to bring to light the notion that black holes could emit particle/antiparticle pairs and thus lose mass through loss of energy would be Professor Stephen Hawking, who proposed that black holes interact with the universe thermodynamically in this way and could potentially evaporate entirely. This radiation is often known as Hawking radiation.
What will happen to the universe 10 duotrigintillion years from now?
Only black holes and subatomic particles remain. The universe has expanded so much that these individual particles may be separated from each other by truly enormous distances. Black holes themselves are now evaporating by Hawking radiation.
Do black holes have any connection to Greek or Roman mythology?
No, black holes are a matter of science and it is very unlikely that the ancient Greeks or Romans observed the anomaly or studied it to later tell in myths we know.
Who studied black holes and subatomic particles that radiate from the?
Stephen Hawkin

What does sir isaac newton have to do with astronomy?
He explained the Laws of Motion which govern movement from subatomic particles to black holes; as well as the Universal Law of Gravitation.He explained the Laws of Motion which govern movement from subatomic particles to black holes; as well as the Universal Law of Gravitation.He explained the Laws of Motion which govern movement from subatomic particles to black holes; as well as the Universal Law of Gravitation.He explained the Laws of Motion which govern movement from subatomic particles to black holes; as well as the Universal Law of Gravitation.
Who studied black holes and the subatomic particles that the radiate from them?
They are studied by astrophysicists which is a branch of astronomy dealing especially with the behavior, physical properties, and dynamic processes of celestial objects and phenomena.

Who discovered black holes and subatomic particles that radiates for them?
The discovery of black holes was not due to a single person; several people participated, and at first, it was all very theoretical. You can find some of the history behind the theories and discoveries in the Wikipedia article on "Black hole".
Who study on blackholes and the subatomic particles that radiate from then?
Black holes and subatomic particles are a subject of interest in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and particle physics. Perhaps the most famous to bring to light the notion that black holes could emit particle/antiparticle pairs and thus lose mass through loss of energy would be Professor Stephen Hawking, who proposed that black holes interact with the universe thermodynamically in this way and could potentially evaporate entirely.

What famous astronomer studied black holes?
Stephen Hawking
What does Stephen hawking do in his spere time?
He studied more about black holes.
Does science have a method or instrument for detecting black holes?
Black holes are distant objects found usually in the center of galaxies; therefore they are studied by astronomers, using telescopes, just as all astronomical objects are studied. Of course, black holes are studied indirectly. They do not emit radiation (or not enough radiation to view; there is Hawking radiation) but they have a strong effect on other nearby objects, which can be observed.
