Stephen Hawkings' ground-breaking work on understanding the origin and structure of the universe has made him one of the most influential physicists of our times. His best-selling book, A Brief History of Time, made science accessible to the layperson, in addition to answering the most fundamental questions about the cosmos.

Over the years, Hawkings has revised his study on black hole mechanics and the Big Bang theory. This animation video explains some of his complex theories in a concise manner.
