The Legend of Mankind: The Death of Physicist Stephen Hawking - part 1

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.
