Stephen William Hawking (January 8, 1942 - March 14, 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His most famous research was on the theory of Black Holes. Brief history of time and his other books were totally brilliant. He puts the whole universe in each of his books. His books pulled me towards astrophysics!
Brief history of time, universe in a nutshell, essays explaining black holes, etc are some of his brilliant works. Truly what made me into physics.
If you read either his past or his modern work, you are certainly in for a treat. That's undeniable.

Someone, do tell me, what came over me that made me leave MK out? - PositronWildhawk
Steven Weinberg is an American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate in Physics for his contributions with Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow to the unification of the weak force and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles. How is it possible that this name did not came up first? He is definitely the best writer, reasons: truly deep and crystal clear argumentations.
