Stephen Hawking Dies at 76
斯蒂芬·霍金逝世 享年76岁
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.
世界著名物理学家史蒂芬·霍金于76岁逝世。霍金21岁时被诊断患有ALS，医生告诉他，他大约只能再活两年。在接下来的五十年中，这名英国物理学家研究了宇宙的起源和黑洞行为。同时也是数学教授的霍金把两个物理学领域结合在一起：广义相对论和量子理论。1988年他出版了宇宙学畅销书《时间简史》后成名。他的毕生目标是对宇宙起源拥有全面的认识。伽利略去世整整300年后他出生，并于爱因斯坦的生日3月14日去世。
