physics, of course, is a broad subject with many fields within it, but who do you consider your top 3 most influential/top living physicists in the world.
The top 3 living theoretical physicists are Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, and Roger Penrose.
Stephen Hawking is known for his work on black holes, specifically his prediction that they emit radiation (now known as Hawking radiation). He also made significant contributions to the study of the early universe and the theory of general relativity.
Michio Kaku is known for his work in string theory, a theoretical framework that aims to unify all of physics. He also made contributions to the study of quantum mechanics and the concept of parallel universes.
Roger Penrose is known for his work on black holes and the theory of general relativity, specifically his proposed mechanism for the formation of singularities. He also made significant contributions to the understanding of space-time and the mathematical study of symmetry in nature.
These theoretical physicists continue to impact the field of physics through their ongoing research, publications, and collaborations with other scientists. They also inspire and mentor the next generation of physicists, ensuring that their contributions will have a lasting impact on the field.
