stephen william hawking's life is very legendary. In terms of scientific achievements, he is one of the most outstanding scientists in history. His contribution was made when he was confined to a wheelchair by Lugar's disease for 51 years. His contribution has a far-reaching impact on the concept of human beings, so the media has long had many descriptions of how he struggled with total paralysis.

The scene when Wu Zhongchao (one of Hawking's students) first met him in 1979 is still fresh in my mind. It was the first time I attended the seminar of Hawking's group on general relativity in Cambridge. As soon as the back door was opened, a very weak electric sound suddenly sounded behind my head. Looking back, I saw a scrawny man reclining in an electric wheelchair, driving the electric switch himself. The translator tries to be polite without being too surprised, but he is used to being surprised by the degree of disability of people who meet him for the first time.

it takes him a lot of effort to hold his head up when eating. Before he lost his voice, he could only talk in a very weak deformed language, which could only be understood after working and living with him for several months. He can't write, reading must rely on a machine that turns pages. When reading literature, he must have each page spread out on a big desk, and then he drives a wheelchair to read page by page like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves. People have to pay deep respect to the soul of human beings who pursue the ultimate truth with such a strong will.

From his help to the translator's private affairs, we can know that he is a human being. Every day, he has to drive a wheelchair from his home, No.5 Cambridge West Road, through the beautiful Jianhe River and the ancient King's College to the office of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics in Silver Street. The department specially built a slope for the convenience of his wheelchair. Hawking is very optimistic, although he is physically disabled but not mentally disabled.

He also proved the area theorem of black holes. He holds several honorary degrees in Cambridge University with rich academic tradition and is the youngest member of the Royal Society. In the public evaluation, he is regarded as the most outstanding theoretical physicist after Albert Einstein. He proposed that BIGBANG started from the singularity, and the black hole would eventually evaporate from this moment, which was an important step in unifying the two basic theories of physics in the 21th century-Einstein's theory of relativity and Planck's quantum theory.

He suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and was confined to a wheelchair for 51 years. However, he was physically disabled and determined to overcome his disability and became a supernova in the international physics community. He can't write or even slur his words, but he transcends the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang and enters the "geometric dance" of creating the universe-borderless conditions. Although he was so helpless in a wheelchair, his thoughts made people travel to the vast space and time and gradually solved the mystery of the universe.

stephen hawking? Born in Oxford, England on October 8th, 1942, it happened to be the 311th anniversary of the death of Galileo, the father of modern science. His father Frank and his mother Isabel both studied at Oxford University. Frank majored in medicine, while Isabel studied philosophy, politics and economics.

After the outbreak of World War II, Frank originally wanted to serve the country from the army. His superiors thought that he could make more valuable contributions to the country if he engaged in research, so he worked as a researcher in a medical research institute, and Isabel also found a secretarial job in this research institute. They met here and fell in love and tied the knot.

After their marriage, they lived in Heigert, a suburb near London. At that time, the Nazi Germans bombed England, and London was attacked almost every night. The husband and wife were forced to decide that Isabel should move to safer Oxford to give birth to the baby. It was not until Stephen was born that Isabel returned to Heigert. When Stephen was 1 and 5 years old, they also gave birth to two daughters, Filippa and Mary. When Stephen was 14 years old, they adopted a son, Edward.

In 1951, Frank was promoted to the position of Director of Parasitology Department of National Institute of Medical Sciences, enjoying a high reputation in this academic field, and his family moved to St. Albans, Hertfordshire. There, the Hawkins are regarded as a kind of eccentric senior intellectuals. They like reading books very much, and everyone can't put them down. Even during the meal time, visiting guests often observe the whole family reading while eating silently. They live a simple life. Although their houses are large, they lack maintenance. The means of transportation is a modified London taxi.

Hawking has a good relationship with his mother, who lives in Stratford, Shakespeare's hometown, and Hawking often visits her. Hawking also co-authored several popular science books on space exploration with his daughter, who has become a famous writer.
