1. Growing up, sports has never been Hawking's strong point, and he can't do almost any ball games. In his third year at Oxford, Hawking noticed that he became more clumsy and fell down once or twice for no reason. Once, he suddenly fell down the stairs for some unknown reason, immediately fell into a coma and almost died.
Hawking, who just celebrated his 2 1 birthday, stayed in the hospital for two weeks. After various examinations, it was diagnosed as "Luger's disease", that is, motor neuron atrophy. The doctor told him that his body would get out of control more and more, and only his heart, lungs and brain could function. Finally, the heart and lungs will also fail. Hawking was only sentenced to two years in prison.
199 1 March, Hawking returned to his apartment in Berlin in a wheelchair. When crossing the street, I was knocked down by a car, my left arm was broken and my head was cut. He had 13 stitches, but after 48 hours, he returned to work in the office. On another occasion, he and his friends went to a country house. When going uphill, they turned too hard and the wheelchair fell backwards. I didn't expect the master of gravity to be overturned in the bushes by the gravity of the earth.
4. 1985, Hawking underwent tracheal surgery, and since then he has completely lost his ability to speak.
Stephen william hawking (1942 65438+1October 8 to 201March 08 14), male, was born in Oxford, England, a famous physicist at Cambridge University, one of the greatest physicists in modern times and one of the great men with international reputation in the 20th century.
1963 Hawking suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Luger's disease) at the age of 2 1 year. He is completely paralyzed, unable to speak, and only three fingers can move in his hand. 1979 served as Lucas professor of mathematics from 2009 to 2009. His main research fields are cosmology and black holes. He proved the singularity theorem and the black hole area theorem of general relativity, put forward the black hole evaporation theory and the borderless Hawking universe model, and took an important step to unify the two basic theories of physics in the 20th century-Einstein's theory of relativity and Planck's theory of quantum mechanics. He was awarded the honors of CH (Lord Honorary of England), CBE (Commander of the British Empire), FRS (Member of the Royal Society) and FRSA (Member of the Royal Art Association).

Physicist Stephen Hawking165438+1October 6 said that technology is expected to reverse some hazards brought by industrialization and help eliminate diseases and poverty, but artificial intelligence needs to be controlled. 20 17, 165438 10, Hawking predicted that energy consumption would increase in 2600 and the earth would become a "fireball".
On March 20 18 14, Hawking died at the age of 76. After Hawking's death, it has aroused condolences from all walks of life around the world.
