Several buildings have been named after him, including the Stephen W.

Hawking
Science Museum in San Salvador, El Salvador,[205] the Stephen Hawking Building in
Cambridge,[206] and the Stephen Hawking Centre at the Perimeter Institute in
Canada.[207] Appropriately, given Hawking's association with time, he unveiled the
mechanical "Chronophage" (or time-eating) Corpus Clock at Corpus Christi College,
Cambridge in September 2008.[208][209]

During his career, Hawking supervised 39 successful PhD students.[2] One doctoral
student did not successfully complete the PhD.[2][better source needed] As required
by Cambridge University regulations, Hawking retired as Lucasian Professor of
Mathematics in 2009.[122][210] Despite suggestions that he might leave the United
Kingdom as a protest against public funding cuts to basic scientific research,[211]
Hawking worked as director of research at the Cambridge University Department of
Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.[212]

On 28 June 2009, as a tongue-in-cheek test of his 1992 conjecture that travel into
the past is effectively impossible, Hawking held a party open to all, complete with
hors d'oeuvres and iced champagne, but publicised the party only after it was over
so that only time-travellers would know to attend; as expected, nobody showed up to
the party.[213]

On 20 July 2015, Hawking helped launch Breakthrough Initiatives, an effort to

search for extraterrestrial life.[214] Hawking created Stephen Hawking: Expedition
New Earth, a documentary on space colonisation, as a 2017 episode of Tomorrow's
World.[215][216]

In August 2015, Hawking said that not all information is lost when something enters
a black hole and there might be a possibility to retrieve information from a black
hole according to his theory.[217] In July 2017, Hawking was awarded an Honorary
Doctorate from Imperial College London.[218]

Hawking's final paper � A smooth exit from eternal inflation? � was published in
the Journal of High Energy Physics on 27 April 2018.[219][220]

Personal life
Marriages
When Hawking was a graduate student at Cambridge, his relationship with Jane Wilde,
a friend of his sister whom he had met shortly before his late 1963 diagnosis with
motor neurone disease, continued to develop. The couple became engaged in October
1964[121][221] � Hawking later said that the engagement gave him "something to live
for"[222] � and the two were married on 14 July 1965.[82]

During their first years of marriage, Jane lived in London during the week as she
completed her degree, and they travelled to the United States several times for
conferences and physics-related visits. The couple had difficulty finding housing
that was within Hawking's walking distance to the Department of Applied Mathematics
and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). Jane began a PhD programme, and a son, Robert, was
born in May 1967.[223][224] A daughter, Lucy, was born in 1970.[225] A third child,
Timothy, was born in April 1979.[117]
