Stories of celebrities who cherish life
Story 1: When French Marcel Pagnol was 67 years old, he attended the opening ceremony of a school named after him in Marseille. He said to the students: "I saw my name written in big gold characters on the school gate, but I would rather see it written in small red characters on the student roster." ?
This famous writer obviously lamented that the years have passed by without knowing it. A few months later, someone asked him: "Who would you like to be?" He replied: "Anyone alive in the year 2000." ?
Story 2: A legal scholar and an entrepreneur had an argument at a salon gathering when they talked about a prisoner who had recently been sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Entrepreneurs believe that spending fifteen years in prison is worse than being sentenced to death; legal experts believe that living is better than dying, and living is hope. The two argued endlessly and finally made a bet. The bet was that the jurist asked the entrepreneur to lock him up. If the jurist did not breach the contract fifteen years later, all the entrepreneur's property would belong to the jurist. The next morning, the legal expert was locked up by the entrepreneur in a small room in his back garden. This small room only had a small window for delivering food. The legal scholar squatted in this isolated hut and began to live a prison life. The entrepreneur provided him with the books he wanted to read every day. Time passes day by day, and the legal scholar has finished reading the encyclopedia of politics, economics, philosophy, science, theology, and literature. Fifteen years have finally arrived. At this time, the entrepreneur failed in the business field. He knew that he would become a pauper when the time came, so he decided to kill the legal scholar on the night before the expiration date. The banker finally opened the rusty iron lock that had never been opened in fifteen years, and found that the legal scholar was sleeping soundly at his desk in front of a candle. When the banker was about to take the opportunity to kill the haggard legal scholar, he was surprised. I found a letter for him lying on the table. The letter said that he was grateful to the entrepreneur. Over the past fifteen years, he had read many books. This knowledge would be an inexhaustible wealth for his life. He also understood many truths. He has decided that he no longer wants the entrepreneur's property. He will break out of the window before dawn tomorrow and voluntarily break the contract. After reading the letter, the banker decided to give up the idea of ??killing the legal scholar. Before dawn the next day, the jurist broke the contract and broke out of the window, saving both the banker's property and his own life.
Stephen William Hawking, born on January 8, 1942, graduated from Oxford University and Trinity College, Cambridge University, and received a doctorate in philosophy from Cambridge University. Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, UK, he is the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist. He is one of the internationally renowned great men of this century and is known as the greatest living scientist. He is also known as the "universe". King?. Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England, on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. In the 1970s, he and Penrose proved the famous singularity theorem, for which they jointly won the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1988. He is therefore known as the world's most famous scientific thinker and most outstanding theoretical physicist after Einstein.
He also proved the area theorem of black holes. Hawking's life is very legendary. In terms of scientific achievements, he is one of the most outstanding scientists in history. He held the most prestigious professorship ever held at Cambridge, that of Newton and Dirac as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. He holds several honorary degrees and is a fellow of the Royal Society.
He suffered from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and was confined to a wheelchair for 40 years. However, he was disabled physically and mentally, turning this into an advantage. , overcame the disability and became a supernova in the international physics community. He couldn't write and couldn't even speak clearly, but he transcended theories such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang and entered the "geometric dance" that created the universe. Even though he was sitting so helplessly in a wheelchair, his mind brilliantly traveled across the vastness of time and space and solved the mysteries of the universe.
The charm of Hawking lies not only in the fact that he is a legendary physics genius, but also in the fact that he is an impressive leader in life.
His scientific spirit of constant exploration and brave and tenacious personality deeply attracted everyone who knew him.
He is known as the greatest living scientist and another Einstein.
Although Hawking's physical disability is getting more and more serious, Hawking strives to live like an ordinary person and complete everything he does. He's even animated - it's funny how he still has the only movable fingers he can use to drive his wheelchair on his way to the office after becoming completely immobile; while he's meeting Prince Charles. , spinning his wheelchair to show off, ended up running over Prince Charles’s toes.
Hawking's life is very legendary. In terms of scientific achievements, he is one of the most outstanding scientists in history. The position he held was the most lofty professorship ever held at the University of Cambridge, the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics held by Newton and Dirac. He holds several honorary degrees and is a Fellow of the Royal Society. He suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and was confined to a wheelchair for 40 years. However, he turned his disability into an advantage and overcame his disability to become an international celebrity. A supernova in physics.

"Hawking's Lectures? Black Holes, Infant Universes and Others" is a collection of 13 articles and speeches written by Hawking between 1976 and 1992. It discusses imaginary time, the birth of the infant universe caused by black holes, and scientists' efforts to seek a completely unified theory, and provides unique insights into free will, the value of life, and death.
"The Nature of Space and Time" General relativity was expressed in a complete mathematical form 80 years ago, and the basic principles of quantum theory also appeared 70 years ago. However, these two are the most accurate and most accurate in the entire physics. Can a successful theory be unified in quantum gravity alone? Two of the world's most famous physicists debate the question. This book is based on six speeches and the final debate given by Hawking and Penrose at Cambridge University.
The book "The Charm of the Future" begins with Hawking's prediction of the future of the universe in the next billion years, and ends with Don Cubitt's understanding of the last trial. It introduces the development of predictions and how we predict the future today. method. The text of the book is easy to understand. While the author explains his own views, he also answers some interesting questions, which is very interesting to read.
Biography of Hawking:
Born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England.
After completing a degree in physics at Oxford University in 1962, he moved to Cambridge University to pursue graduate studies. In 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
In 1965, he was awarded a doctorate. His research shows that the mathematical equations used to explain the collapse of black holes can also explain the expansion of the universe from a single point.
In 1970, Hawking studied the characteristics of black holes. He predicted that the ray radiation from the black hole (now called Hawking radiation) and the surface area of ??the black hole will never decrease.
In 1974, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society. He went on to prove that black holes have temperatures, black holes emit thermal radiation, and gasification causes mass reduction.
In 1980, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University (Isaac Newton once held this position).
In 1988, he published "A Brief History of Time", which became the best-selling book on quantum physics and relativity.
Since 1996, he continues to work at the University of Cambridge.
Hawking's famous quotes:
1. When you face the possibility of dying, you will realize that life is precious and you have a lot of things to do.
2. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
3. Did the universe have a beginning? If so, what happened before that?
4. Where does the universe come from and where is it going?
5. There is hope when we are alive.
6. Is there an end to time?
7. I have noticed that even those who claim that everything is destined and that we are powerless to change are crossing the road. I always look left and right.
8. Both scientists and prostitutes make money doing what they like.
9. If a person is disabled physically, he must not be disabled mentally.
10. Life is unfair, no matter what your situation is, you can only do your best. ;
