The deeds of scientist Hawking
Hawking's life story recommended Stephen Hawking as an outstanding scientist. He made great contributions to cosmology, and everyone realized for the first time that Hawking also started from his story of being physically disabled and determined. So what contribution did Hawking make in his life? Let's have a look. The following is my recommendation for Hawking's life story. I hope you like it. Stephen william hawking (1942 65438+18 October) was born in Oxford, England, and the day of his birth coincided with the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. Hawking graduated from Oxford University and Cambridge University with a doctorate from Cambridge University. 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. Scientific contribution Hawking's research fields are gravity and black holes. His main contributions are two: singularity law (1970) and hawking radiation (1974). Singularity Theorem: roger penrose (Penrose, he seems to be better) proved that the equation of general relativity leads to the singular point solution by topological method, and indirectly proved the existence of the big bang singularity. Hawking radiation: inspired by Beckenstein entropy, using quantum field theory to prove that black holes radiate like thermodynamic blackbodies in a curved space-time background. This is the first example of the combination of general relativity and quantum mechanics, which is of special importance. Hawking's main work was completed during the great development of black hole research in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and his early work played a great role in promoting the fields of gravity and black holes. The singularity theorem and black hole area theorem of general relativity are proved, and the evaporation phenomenon of black holes and the borderless Hawking universe model are put forward. An important step has been taken in unifying the two basic theories of physics in the 20th century-the theory of relativity founded by Einstein and quantum mechanics founded by Planck. The public's impression of Hawking is that he is a cosmologist who studies the universe, but in fact he is not interested in observing astronomy, and he has only observed it several times with a telescope. His research method is mainly to make a prophetic conclusion through the combination of conjecture and theory (which may be the reason why many people are not convinced). Hawking believes that the contribution of his life lies in that, within the framework of classical physics, the inevitability of black holes and big bang singularities has been proved, and black holes are getting bigger and bigger; However, under the framework of quantum physics, he pointed out that black holes became smaller and smaller due to radiation, and the singularity of the Big Bang was not only smoothed out by quantum effects, but the whole universe also started from here. ;
