Scientists become celebrities so rarely that the 20th century produced only a handful of such figures, with Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking topping the list. Einstein was renowned for a string of vital contributions to physics in the early decades of the century. Hawking, who lived from 1942 to 2018, may not have been Einstein s equal, but he was often pegged as the natural inheritor of the Einsteinian mantle, given that his most important work - on the nature of gravity, on black holes, and on the origins of the universe - directly tackled problems that were raised by Einstein s work a half century earlier.
