He did not discover them. He did some calculations that predicted the possibility of the existence of black holes.
Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes emit black body radiation, now known as Hawking radiation, in 1974. This groundbreaking idea challenged previous beliefs about black holes and their behavior.
White holes are theoretical regions of spacetime that expel matter and energy outward, the opposite of black holes which pull matter in. They do not suck up objects like black holes do. However, there is no observational evidence for the existence of white holes in the universe.
I don't quite know what you mean by predicted (please try to make your questions very clear) but assuming you mean 'can their creation be predicted', then the answer is 'yes'. We know that very massive stars will leave a remnant that exceeds about 3-4 solar masses after they go supernova. If the stellar ruminant is above this mass then a black hole will form. We can also predict where black holes 'are' by their effect on nearby bodies, this is how we know were and how massive the black hole in the centre of our galaxy is. Also although black holes do not emit light they do distort light passing near them and we can predict what this would look like (see related link below).
Most micro black holes are predicted to evaporate through Hawking radiation, a process where they lose mass over time. The smaller the black hole, the faster it will evaporate. However, there are still uncertainties surrounding the exact mechanisms of black hole evaporation.
yes. some black holes are predicted to be the size of an electron.

Black holes fascinate me by there huge size on great gravitational force. The fact that light can't even get out so we cant study the center much is also pretty amazing. The thing that disturbed many astrophysicists when black holes were first theorized was the fact that the theory predicted an object that would destroy the theory that predicted it.

The general theory of relativity, proposed by Einstein in 1916, embodied the notion of gravitation, a phenomenon derived from a local curvature of spacetime. One profound implication, an outgrowth of the field equations of the theory, was the existence of black holes.
Stephen Hawking was the first scientist to suggest that the black holes evaporate. His theory of Black Holes emitting radiation, also termed as Hawking Radiation.Hawking radiation is black body radiation that is predicted to be emitted 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 the physicist Jacob Bekenstein who predicted that black holes should have a finite, non-zero temperature and entropy. Hawking's work followed his visit to Moscow in 1973 where Soviet scientists Yakov Zeldovich and Alexei Starobinsky showed him that according to the quantum mechanical uncertainty principle,rotating black holes should create and emit particles. Hawking radiation reduces the mass and the energy of the black hole and is therefore also known as black hole evaporation. Because of this, black holes that lose more mass than they gain through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish. Micro black holes (MBHs) are predicted to be larger net emitters of radiation than larger black holes and should shrink and dissipate faster.In Hawking Radiation, Virtual particle pairs are constantly being created near the horizon of the black hole, as they are everywhere. Normally, they are created as a particle-antiparticle pair and they quickly annihilate each other. But near the horizon of a black hole, it's possible for one to fall in before the annihilation can happen, in which case the other one escapes as Hawking radiation.
stellar black holes were stars (these are large)primordial black holes were pieces of the big bang (these are microscopic)
Not exactly, he was not an astronomer. However his theory of general relativity predicted the existence of black holes (which has since been confirmed) and wormholes (still unconfirmed)
