Life experience:
Hawking graduated from Oxford University and Cambridge University (Hawking's industrial version of Cambridge University) and received a doctorate from Cambridge University.
1959 hawking, age 17, entered Oxford University College to study natural science. It took him very little time to get a first-class honorary degree, and then he transferred to Cambridge University to study cosmology.
1963, 2 1 year-old, unfortunately diagnosed as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, that is, motor neurocytopathy. At that time, the doctor had diagnosed that he was terminally ill and could only live for two years, but he had survived strongly.
1965, got a doctorate at the age of 23, and stayed at Cambridge University for research.
1973, he studied the quantum effect near black holes and found that black holes emit radiation like celestial bodies.
After 1980, Hawking's interest turned to quantum cosmology, and he proposed unbounded conditions that can solve the problem of the first popularization of the universe.
1985, he had a tracheotomy because of pneumonia and completely lost his ability to speak. His speech and question-and-answer can only be completed by a speech synthesizer.
1985, I came to China for the first time and visited China University of Science and Technology and Beijing Normal University. Give an academic report on astrophysics in HKUST aquatic lecture hall.
1988, Hawking's popular science book A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to the Black Hole was published, which explored the origin and destination of the universe from the perspective of studying black holes. This book has been translated into more than 40 languages, and more than ten thousand copies have been published 10.
200 1, 10, another work, The Universe in the Shell, was published. This book is the companion of A Brief History of Time, and tells the origin of the universe with relatively simplified techniques and a large number of illustrations.
In 2002, he came to China for the second time, gave a popular science report entitled "Brane New World" in Beijing and Hangzhou, and explained his "M Theory" on celestial evolution to the public.
In 2006, he revealed in Hong Kong that he was co-writing a novel similar to Harry Potter with his daughter, but the theme was theoretical physics rather than magic.
In June 2006, he came to China for the third time, still bringing his latest research on cosmology. When he delivered a speech entitled "The Origin of the Universe" in the gymnasium of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, it was a sensation and was dubbed as a "rock star" reception.
On April 6, 2009, Hawking canceled his overseas visit due to illness, and was sent to hospital for treatment due to illness on the 20th of the same month. The situation is not good.
From 20 12 to 12, it is reported that the malignant atrophy of facial muscles has seriously affected his expression ability and may make him unable to make a unique "computer voice".
20 12 On April 6th, the hit American TV series "The Big Bang Theory" aired in episode 2 1 of the fifth season, in which stephen hawking made a guest appearance.
In 20 12, Hawking pressed two gold fingerprints on the Beijing Olympic torch collected by Zhao and wrote an inscription: "For the long-term survival of mankind and world peace, we need to destroy all nuclear weapons."
20 17 recorded the documentary "exploring a new earth" for the British BBC.
