Describe Cambridge University
Stephen Hawking 1942 1.8 was born in Oxford, England. This is a special day. Galileo, the founder of modern science, died on the same day 300 years ago.

Hawking went to Cambridge University for postgraduate study after graduating from Oxford University. At this time, he was diagnosed as "Luger's disease" and soon became completely paralyzed. 1985 Hawking underwent tracheal surgery for pneumonia. After that, he couldn't speak at all, and he could only talk to people with a small dialogue machine and a speech synthesizer installed in a wheelchair. Reading must rely on a page turning machine. When reading a document, you need to ask someone to spread every page on a big table, and then he will read it page by page in a wheelchair like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves. ...

It is in this incredible difficulty that Hawking became a world-recognized giant in gravitational physics. Hawking is a Luxun professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. His black hole evaporation theory and quantum cosmology not only shocked natural science, but also had a far-reaching impact on philosophy and religion.

From the singularity of BIGBANG to the radiation mechanism of black holes, Hawking has made outstanding contributions to the development of quantum cosmology. His goal is to solve the "first thrust" problem that has been puzzling mankind since Newton. His model of the universe is a finite four-dimensional space-time with no boundary-without the first thrust of God, the evolution of the universe depends entirely on the laws of physics.

Intriguingly, Hawking's cosmology makes God have nowhere to live, but the Vatican still pays tribute to him. After admitting the mistake of Galileo's trial, the Vatican Academy of Sciences elected Hawking as an academician. Neither secular prejudice nor theological authority can stop the spread of science.

Hawking firmly believes that the basic ideas about the origin and destiny of the universe can be stated without mathematics, and people without professional training can understand them. In his popular speech, he vividly explained to the audience that the design of "using the speed of light to enter from a' black hole' and travel from a' white hole' to another part of the universe to transform time and space" is an interesting scientific fantasy, but it is difficult to realize in reality. After several years of hard writing and revision, a popular science book about cosmology, A Brief History of Time, was officially published in April 1988. The book guides readers to explore the strange areas of outer space such as distant galaxies, black holes, quarks, grand unified theory, "seasoning" particles and "rotating" particles, antimatter and "arrow of time". A Brief History of Time has published 5.5 million copies in 33 languages. Nowadays in the west, people who claim to be educated will be looked down upon if they have not read this book.

The doctor has diagnosed Hawking as terminally ill, and he can only live for two years. The main reason why he can support today and achieve impressive results is that he has a strong sense of mission and an extremely strong will. Hawking's life is a record of human willpower and a miracle created by scientific spirit.
