After three years of prodigious calculations, he determined that some black holes must have been created during the birth of the universe, in the cataclysmic explosion called the Big Bang. These black holes, as opposed to those formed later by the collapse of stars, are minuscule; their event horizons are no larger than the circumference of a proton or other atomic particle. Subsequently, he found that they seemed to be radiating energy. That was such a startling break with the accepted concept of black holes that Hawking at first doubted his results. But no one has yet uncovered flaws...

He must remember them as they flash into his mind, a feat that his colleague Werner Israel says is equivalent to Mozart's having composed an entire symphony in his head...
