...because all scientific laws break down at these points. Most physicists believed that in the real universe the object at the heart of a black hole would be small (but not dimensionless) and extremely dense (but not infinitely so). Enter Hawking. While still a graduate student, he and Mathematician Roger Penrose developed new techniques proving mathematically that if general relativity is correct down to the smallest scale, singularities must exist.

Editorial Board Chairman Robert Giroux, 73, is more reserved, an inside man whose contributions to the list include T.S. Eliot, Flannery O'Connor, Robert Lowell and Bernard Malamud. The outspoken Straus bluntly rejects the nostalgic notion that publishing was once a gentlemen's business. "They were poor businessmen," he says of many of the resonant names of the profession, "poor marketers out to massage their own egos generation after generation...
