The Legend of Mankind: The Death of Physicist Stephen Hawking - part 2

From 1979 to 2009, Hawking was Lucas mathematics professor. His main research areas were cosmology and black holes. He proved the singularity theorems and black hole area theorems of general relativity and proposed the black hole evaporation theory and the boundaryless Hawking universe model. The two basic theories of physics in the 20th century - the theory of relativity founded by Einstein and the quantum mechanics created by Planck - have taken an important step. He received honors such as CH (British Honor Lord), CBE (Chief British Empire Commander), FRS (French Royal Society Member), FRSA (French Royal Art Association Member).

In 1985, Hawking lost his ability to speak as a result of pneumonia. He can only rely on the muscles of the right eye to move the buttons of the special glasses and operate the sounder to "speak."

In 1988, Hawking published "A Brief History of Time," explaining the astrophysical theories of the universe, black holes, and Big Bang. "A Brief History of Time" has been translated into more than 40 languages and over 10 million volumes have been published.

Hawking's story was adapted into a film and British actress Eddie Redmayne, who played Hawking, won the Academy Award. Hawking himself has also participated in many film and television productions and has served as a guest appearance in the American comedy "The Simpsons" and the science fiction album "Star Trek". In the twenty-first episode of the fifth season of the hit drama "The Big Bang Theory" aired on April 6, 2012, Stephen Hawking appeared as himself. If you are also interested in physics like black holes and the universe, one of the necessary devices you will need is the monocular telescope.

In 2011, Hawking interviewed BigThink, an American famous intellectual video sharing site, saying that the Earth will be destroyed in 200 years and that if human beings want to continue to survive, there will be only one way: immigration exoplanet.

In 2017, he recorded the documentary "Exploring New Earth" for the British BBC. The physicist Stephen Hawking said on November 6th that technology is expected to reverse some of the harm caused by industrialization to the planet and help eliminate disease and poverty, but artificial intelligence needs to be controlled.

The famous physicist Stephen Hawking died at the age of 76. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on the 14th that Hawking’s three children issued a statement announcing the news of his father’s death on the same day, saying that his courage and persistence have inspired the world.

If anyone in the contemporary scientific community can be compared with Einstein, the answer is Stephen Hawking. Hawking's reputation began with his research on black holes. After combining the general theory of relativity and quantum theory to study. On March 1, 1974, Hawking published a paper on Nature, expounding his new discovery - black holes are radiated. This discovery is considered to be the most important development in theoretical physics for many years, and his paper is also called "one of the most profound papers in the history of physics."

Hawking was born in 1942 and is known as the most outstanding theoretical physicist after Einstein. He was born in Oxford, England. His father Frank was a tropical disease expert who graduated from Oxford University. His mother, Isabel, studied philosophy, politics, and economics at Oxford in 1930. Hawking's academic performance in his childhood was not outstanding, but he liked to design complex Science Discovery Toys. He obtained a bachelor's degree in natural sciences at Oxford in 1959 and studied cosmology at Cambridge University at the age of 20.

In 1963, the 22-year-old Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which made him paralyzed and unable to speak. The only places where he could move are two eyes and three fingers. The rest could not move at all. The doctor believed that he could only survive for 2-3 years. However, the doctor's prediction was not correct. Hawking continued his research work, married twice, and had three children. Even if Hawking is paralyzed, Hawking speaks with instrumental assistance. He still lives actively: he conducts research, teaches, reports, and communicates with the world through computerized speech synthesizers.

What does it feel like to play a song with AI?

At the recent SXSW Southwestern South Music Festival, the Japanese voice studio Hakuhodo and Yamaha jointly created an artificial intelligence system. Music lovers, both professional and amateur, can come on stage to perform piano ensembles with their created AI partner. On the big screen, music visual effects played by the actor and the AI will also be presented.

In response, Yamaha’s internal R&D staff stated, “Yamaha uses artificial intelligence technology to allow AI to imitate and learn the performers' musical creations and improve their abilities, and they can also collaborate with performers to create beautiful musical compositions. It is possible to ensemble notes by analyzing human performers' gestures and sound effects, and to guide Yamaha's Disklavier piano users to more comfortable playing Yamaha piano products." This musical instrument giant also provides wholesale musical instruments that are not quite expensive.

In fact, so far, Yamaha's AI artificial music integration system has undergone a lot of tests during the R&D phase, such as simulating the playing style of Piano Master Richter in the string quartet and ensemble with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and assisting in singing. The group performed a chorus. Even more powerful is that AI can also play keys along with the rhythm of dancers if there are dancers performing on the scene. This time, the SXSW Music Festival will invite many famous musicians to complete the ensemble with this AI partner, with the human pianist playing the rhythm of real-time prediction, to provide the most perfect ensemble effect. The actual performance of the AI is comparable to that of a real musician, and it can even be slightly higher. Hakuhoda Studios added many magical visual elements to this musical feast. Pianists and AI can be rendered on the big screen in real time.

Visitors who are interested in experiencing this technologically-influenced piano concert at the SXSW Festival can also play a pre-edited version of the Little Star with AI at the Austin Convention Center in Texas, USA. The song is relatively simple and the playing effect is also obvious. With the development of technology in the future, players can also select any piece of music and expand the form of the duo to provide complete orchestral accompaniment.
