Stephen Hawking Dies at 76
斯蒂芬·霍金逝世 享年76歲
World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. Hawking was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21 and was told by doctors he had about two years to live. For the next five decades, the British physicist studied the origin of the universe and the behaviour of black holes. Hawking, who was also a mathematics professor, brought together two fields of physics: general relativity and quantum theory. He became famous in 1988 after publishing his best seller on cosmology, A Brief History of Time. His lifelong goal was to gain a complete understanding of the origin of the universe. He was born exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo and died on March 14, Einstein’s birthday.
世界著名物理學家史蒂芬·霍金于76歲逝世。霍金21歲時被診斷患有ALS，醫生告訴他，他大約只能再活兩年。在接下來的五十年中，這名英國物理學家研究了宇宙的起源和黑洞行為。同時也是數學教授的霍金把兩個物理學領域結合在一起：廣義相對論和量子理論。1988年他出版了宇宙學暢銷書《時間簡史》后成名。他的畢生目標是對宇宙起源擁有全面的認識。伽利略去世整整300年后他出生，并于愛因斯坦的生日3月14日去世。
