The work explores crucial moments in Hawking\u2019s career, such as his entrance into the prestigious Oxford and Cambridge, the clashes with established theories and the genesis of discoveries that challenged conventional physics, such as Hawking radiation. It also delves into the relentless pursuit of the \u201cTheory of Everything,\u201d a goal that would unify quantum physics and general relativity, and the global impact of \u201cA Brief History of Time,\u201d which popularized cosmology and inspired generations. \u201cHawking and Black Holes\u201d is not limited to scientific biography, but also sheds light on the nature of cosmology, tracing a historical overview and addressing the controversies surrounding black holes and the evolution of the universe. The work celebrates the legacy of a brilliant scientist and a human being who, in the face of monumental challenges, expanded the horizons of knowledge and brought us closer to the mysteries of the cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Podcast: STEPHEN HAWKING, Black Holes and the Universe\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QHUaWhjbHno?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHawking and Black Holes\u201d: A Cosmic and Personal Journey of a Genius An immersion into the life and work of Stephen Hawking, from the first flashes of genius in a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-podcast-virtualbooks"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":830,"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829\/revisions\/830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualbooks.com.br\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
