Hawking imagined the Universe as starting out as a singularity. This became his dissertation topic at Cambridge. Hawking worked hard for the first time in his life on this problem. Stephen created the singularity theorem for the origin on the universe and was awarded his Ph.D. at the age of 23.After receiving his doctorate, Stephen began to study with Penrose.ueen Elizabeth II made Hawking a companion of honour. He was also made an honorary doctor of science by Cambridge University. Hawking has his own painting of himself in the National Portrait Gallery in London. After the publication of A Brief History of Time, a documentary on Hawking and his concepts was created.
