Professor Stephen Hawking has been announced as one of the winners of the Fundamental Physics Prize, the most lucrative prize ever established in science. The award was set up in July 2012 by the Russian internet tycoon Yuri Milner with the aim of rewarding achievements in fundamental physics. Past winners include Alan Guth, the inventor of inflationary cosmology, and Edward Witten, a pioneer in the application of topology to physics.

Professor Nima Arkani-Hamed, a member of the Selection Committee, said that the winners of the Fundamental Physics Prize “have done transformative work spanning a wide range of areas in fundamental physics.”
