January 8, 1942 The birth of famous physicist Stephen Hawking
On this day, 83 years ago, January 8, 1942 (November 22, 1941, the lunar calendar), the famous physicist Stephen Hawking was born. Like Professor Stephen Hawking, Stephen Hawking is one of the most prestigious great men of contemporary times. He is known as the greatest scientist alive, today's Einstein. He took an important step in unifying the two fundamental theories of 20th century physics-Einstein's theory of relativity and Planck's quantum theory. In 1989, he was awarded the honorary title of British Knight. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Foreign Fellow of the American Academy of Sciences. Professor Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942, the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. In 1963, Professor Hawking was diagnosed with muscular atrophy, or motor neuropathy. Received a doctorate in theoretical physics in 1965. On March 1, 1974, Professor Hawking published a paper in Nature, explaining his new discovery that black holes are radiating. For weeks, physicists around the world were discussing his research work (the radiation to which Hawking referred was called Hawking radiation). Hawking's new discovery is considered to be the most important advance in theoretical physics in many years. The paper is called "one of the most profound papers in the history of physics." 1975-1976 Among the six awards he won during the year were the Eddington Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society of London, the Eleventh Medal of the Vatican Papal Science Society, the Hopkins Prize, the American Danio Heineman Prize, the Maxway Prize and the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society. In 1978, he won the most prestigious award in physics-the Albert Einstein Prize. In 1979, he was appointed as the famous Lucason Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, who was once held by Newton. In 1988, Hawking's astonishing book "A Brief History of Time: from the Big Bang to Black Holes" was released. Starting from the study of black holes, we explored the origin and destination of the universe and answered the question that mankind has been exploring since history: whether time has a beginning and whether space has a boundary. This is a landmark masterpiece in the history of human science. The book has been translated into more than 40 languages and published more than 10 million copies. Professor Hawking's popular speeches are also internationally renowned, and he has traveled all over the world. He tried to communicate his thoughts with the entire world through his books and popular speeches. In early 2000, Hawking gave a speech at the White House as part of the Millenium Evenings event. President Clinton cordially met with him and congratulated him. In October 2001, another masterpiece "The Universiseina Nutshell" was published. This book is a companion chapter to "A Brief History of Time". In this book, Hawking reveals great breakthroughs in theoretical physics since the publication of "A Brief History of Time". In 1963, Professor Hawking was diagnosed with muscular atrophy, or motor neuropathy. Hawking, who was once diagnosed as terminally ill by doctors, can only live for two years. The most important reason why he can support this day and achieve outstanding achievements is that he has a strong sense of mission and extremely strong will. Hawking is a disabled person suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He is paralyzed and cannot take care of himself. His speech is abnormal and he cannot communicate directly with others. However, he is extremely smart and wise. The disability did not defeat him, but enabled his talents to be brought to the extreme. Hawking does not want people to treat him as a disabled person, and he himself is downplaying his disability, but he is indeed a disabled person, and he is a severely disabled person. We cannot help but say that a large part of his charm comes from the disability of people. People are searching for unseen things in every corner of the earth and searching for endless mysteries on spacecraft. Hawking looked back in his wheelchair and penetrated the origin of time and the universe. Looking forward again, he predicted their fate very forward-looking. Hawking's life is a record of human will and a miracle created by the spirit of science. Hawking's profile was born in Cambridge on January 8, 1942. He moved his family to St Albans in 1950. He entered Oxford University in 1959. He graduated from Oxford in 1962. He went to Cambridge to study for postgraduate studies. In 1963, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He received a doctorate from Cambridge in 1965 and worked with Jenny. Wilder (Jane Wald) was married in 1967. His eldest son Robert was born in 1970. His daughter Lucy was born/began to use a wheelchair. In 1973, his first book,"Large Structures in Space" was published. In 1974, he announced the discovery of black hole radiation and became a member of the Royal Society. In 1977, he was appointed Professor of Gravitational Physics at Cambridge University. In 1979, his second son, Timothy, was born/was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University./Review of General Relativity: Published in Commemoration of Einstein's Centenary Birth. Participated in the Vatican Cosmology Conference in 1981 and announced the idea of no boundaries/Published "Beyond Space and Supergravity"/Was awarded the title of a senior knight of the British Empire. He fell ill in Switzerland in 1985/underwent tracheostomy surgery and lost his language ability, using a computer with a sound generator. 1988 "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Hole published/Won the Wolf Foundation Award. In 1989, he was awarded the Honorary Knight of the British Empire. Divorced from his wife in 1990. In 1991, the film of the same name was released. In 1993,"Black Hole and the Baby Universe" and Other Papers "was published. In October 2001, another masterpiece," The Universe in the Shell ", was published.
