In 1968 he joined the staff of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge and began to study black holes. Soon afterwards he made an astonishing discovery. Hawking suggested that under certain conditions, a black hole could give out subatomic particles (颗粒).That is now known as Hawking Radiation. He continued working on the theory of the origin of the universe.
At the age of 32, he received the Albert Einstein Award. And in 1979,he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world. Since its creation 330 years ago, 17 individuals have held the chair, like Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Babbage and Robert Woodhouse. There he began to question the big bang theory, which by then most had been accepted.
In 1988 Hawking wrote A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, explaining the evolution(发展)of his thinking about the cosmos for a general audience. It became a longstanding bestseller and established his reputation as an accessible genius. He wrote other popular articles and appeared in movies and television. He remains extremely busy, his work hardly slowed by Lou Gehrig's disease(a disease that affects muscle control)for which he uses a wheelchair and speaks through a computer and voice synthesizer(合成器).
