Do you really think Hawking in the same league? What has he done aside from being in the right place at the right time in order to theorise on things that someone else would likely have done quite soon anyway?
I think it was this book that propelled him to fame + his disability.
I'm not sure what original research he has carried out, but I think you're right, it's not as ground-breaking as previous holders of the position.Hard Brexit now!
