Hawking has been paralyzed for 21 years and has three children

"Some people have a higher starting point and opportunities than others, just like Rome is not something that can be reached in a day, and there are people who are born in Rome. For example, Stephen Hawking, is it just a coincidence that his birthday coincides with Galileo's sacrifice day? ”

Today's topic is about how Hawking's three children came to be. Although this question is not a physiological one, it is a microcosm of Hawking's misery and accomplishments in life.

Stephen Hawking's hometown is located in Oxford, England, which has a unique geographical advantage. Here, Hawking's parents are both PhDs from Oxford University, and Hawking's home is in Oxford, so it is not easy for him to become famous due to such a family background.

However, Hawking did not stop there, and through his hard work and talent, he became a world-renowned scientist. Therefore, although life has brought him difficulties, Hawking has always believed that as long as there are dreams and hard work, another window of life can be opened.

Although Hawking did not excel in school as a child, and could even be called an ordinary student in obscurity, he was a master of house demolition at home and dared to try to disassemble various objects.

However, this is not to say that Hawking lacks academic attainments, on the contrary, he has made remarkable achievements in the field of science, with a first-class honours in natural sciences from the University of Oxford and a PhD in cosmology from the University of Cambridge.

However, fate mercilessly befell him at the age of 21, and an unexpected fall led to his diagnosis of muscle stiffness, or progressive cryonics.

Medical experts predict that he may only live for about two years, facing the threat of death at any moment. Despite this, Hawking did not give up, he still firmly walked on the path of science and successfully reached the pinnacle of science.

When life closes a door, it always opens a window for you. For Stephen Hawking, that window is his wheelchair. It not only became the stage for him to become famous, but also the cradle for his two sons and a daughter to grow up.

Despite his serious illness, Hawking did not give up on life, he married and had children, two sons and a daughter. Their mother, Isabel, was Hawking's colleague at the Institute of Medical Sciences and Jane, his nickname.

When Jane married Hawking, she was in the prime of her youth and a researcher at the Institute of Medical Sciences. After the birth of their eldest son, Robert, their two daughters were born a few years later.

Stephen Hawking's story teaches us to persevere and stay optimistic even in the face of difficulties, because life always brings us unexpected surprises. "

Hawking's youngest son, Timothy, recalls that there never seemed to be a verbal exchange between them. But he didn't know that Hawking had lost his speech function during that time, and ALS was eating away at his body little by little.

That's why Hawking started being confined to a wheelchair at the age of 21 for half a century. As for his children, they are a portrayal of Hawking's life before his illness and the mark that the great scientist left on the world.

On the road of physics, Hawking, Newton and Einstein have been three insurmountable peaks and are known as the kings of the universe. His research focused on black holes and cosmology, and he proved the singularity theorem of general relativity.

In my opinion, Hawking's achievements in physics are remarkable, but his mental strength is even greater. Who can imagine the inner feeling of a man who has been half-confined to a wheelchair for half a century?

However, the world has turned a blind eye to this, which is clearly an injustice. While Hawking's theory of black holes is admired, people ignore his illness, his communication difficulties, and the pain he endured to complete A Brief History of Time within a few days of surgery.

Perhaps, Hawking's famous sentence "Don't always look at your feet, look up at the starry sky" is not only a habitual vision of a cosmologist, but also a kind of helplessness of the king of the universe.

ALS does not allow him to look at his feet, only to look up at the stars.

Time is a precious resource for Hawking, and his body can no longer withstand any slowness. However, only looking up at the starry sky is what he can do.

He only has three moving fingers and a pair of rolling eyes, and beyond that, his intelligent mind is all he has. Therefore, Hawking issued a warning to humanity that humanity should leave the earth by 2117.

Because in his opinion, the earth can no longer carry us. And our hope lies in the vastness of the universe. This is not Hawking's alarmism, such as nuclear war, a devastating catastrophe that could befall us at any moment.

Environmental destruction, melting glaciers in Antarctica, and global warming are all changing our homes.

As early as the 70s, Hawking began to work on the problem of black holes, and discovered the phenomenon known as Hawking's black hole radiation, which provided people with the possibility of leaving the earth faster than the speed of light.

Time and space have no beginning or end, and this is the core idea of Hawking's physics. In order to verify Einstein's general theory of relativity, Hawking insisted on sitting in a wheelchair and spent 30 years proving the famous singularity theorem.

In the 80s, he began to study the application of quantum mechanics to the theory of black holes, and successfully proved the area theorem of black holes. If all conditions allow, perhaps Hawking will lead us away from Earth and explore the infinite possibilities of the universe.

At the beginning of the new century, Hawking's theory of the universe opened a new chapter. He uses his wheelchair to drive himself, from the big ** to the formation of black holes, leading us on a new journey of cosmic exploration, and at the same time revealing hope for the future.

During this time, Hawking's horizons have broadened, and he firmly believes that he can lead humanity on a future time machine, but this requires the help of faster-than-light spaceships, and at the same time, cosmic wormholes are also an essential path.

However, the King of the Universe did not see the day when humanity walked out of the earth, but chose to stay on the earth, which became our eternal memory. In mid-March 2018, Stephen Hawking passed away at the age of 76.

The ashes are stored in Hawking in the London church, next to the ashes of Newton and Darwin, as if to symbolize the pre-eminence of the king of the universe in the field of physics. Hawking's honor and reverence are well deserved, and the memory he left is that of his half-lying wheelchair, looking up at the starry sky.

Looking back at his life, his three children were born before he fell ill, and if the youngest son had been born a year later, he might not have seen this beautiful world.

In addition to admiring Hawking's cosmology, we should also learn from his excellent qualities of physical and mental strength, because this is the spiritual motivation for human beings to remain alive, and it is also a value that we must uphold.
