The history of the earth is very long, and human beings are only a very small creature in this vast universe. From the evolution of the earth, the ice age, to the modern history of human development. This mysterious sphere and the vast universe are full of many unknowns waiting for us to explore.
There are many scientists in the world who have dedicated their lives to exploring the mysteries of human beings and the universe. The most famous person we know in modern times is the scientist Stephen Hawking, who was born in Oxford, England in 1942.
Hawking is known by the people"King of the Universe".。This title comes from a quote he wrote in "The Universe in a Shell". But it is a pity that Hawking suffered from ALS at the age of 21, his body was paralyzed, and he could still use his fingers at first, and in the end Hawking's body could hardly move, only his eyes remained.
Until his death, Hawking sat under him in a sky-high wheelchair worth more than 800 millionIt was also in this wheelchair that Hawking carried out the great scientific research of his life, which never stopped. Eventually, after Hawking's death, the wheelchair returned to Hawking's hometown, the British Museum.
Stephen Hawking is a graduate of Oxford University and Cambridge University. At the age of 17, Hawking entered Oxford University to study natural sciences. He then began studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, where he received his PhD.
For scientific research, Hawking has shown an unusual talent, and his life may only exist for the purpose of studying science. But at this moment, something unfortunate happened, and at the age of 21, Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neurosis, which is known as ALS.
The doctor told Hawking in despair that he might only have about 2 years left to live, but Hawking didn't think so. His determination to explore science gave him the strength to overcome his illness.
Subsequently, after graduating from Cambridge University, Hawking continued to pursue scientific research at the University of Cambridge. Scientists have a lot of knowledge, but they don't have a lot of money.
And for talents like Hawking, major technology companies are scrambling to prolong their lives for their best diseases. In the beginning,Hawking is just immobile, and this wheelchair is only a substituteWith the increasing severity of Hawking's condition, but also with the gradual development of technologyMajor companies are vying to fund the construction of Hawking's wheelchair so that Hawking can conduct scientific research in the wheelchair.
In the beginning, some researchers built this wheelchair specifically for Hawking's condition. Because Hawking's condition initially only affected his legs, this wheelchair was born.
Unlike a normal wheelchair, it isTechnical support is installed on top of this, and a computer screen is also installed on top of the wheelchair. In fact, this is the equivalent of a mobile computer.
In the beginning, Hawking still had three fingers and his eyes to use, and he used those three fingers to control the remote control and type what he wanted to say into the computer. Wheelchairs are also equipped with text converters, which can be used to convert these words into words for the purpose of communication.
As Hawking's condition deteriorated day by day,The wheelchair has been upgraded again and again, adding black technologies such as infrared detection technology and remote control technology. These black technologies make the value of this wheelchair more and more expensive.
In addition to these high technical supports, the value of this wheelchair has soared, and Hawking has achieved outstanding theories in this wheelchair, which have played a key role in the development of human research science.
One of the more famous is Hawking's "black hole theory". In fact, human beings have been studying the mysterious and vast universe and studying this mysterious space. Stephen Hawking's black hole theory is that there are black holes in the universe, and when countless stars approach, black holes will swallow them. They didn't disappear, they entered another dimension.
At that time, Hawking proposed this theoryPeople think that Hawking is hallucinating in a wheelchair for a long time, which has no scientific theory, just a fantasy. But in 2019, the year after Hawking's death, people really photographed the ** of black holes, so that Hawking's "black hole theory" has a factual basis.
The creation of this wheelchair can be said to be the crowning achievement of modern artificial intelligence. This wheelchair is not only one of the only tools of Hawking's research, but also represents the progress of human industrial development.
Don't look at this small and inconspicuous wheelchair, he invested heavily in it at the beginning of its construction. The wheelchair was originally funded by MicrosoftWith the development of Hawking's disease, researchers have been improving the hardware of the wheelchair and upgrading the software of the wheelchairAll the high-end technology was applied to this wheelchair, and the cost of this wheelchair became higher and higher, and later it reached 1200 million US dollars, equivalent to 800 million yuan!
In addition to such industrial value, this wheelchair also accompanied Hawking's inspirational life of scientific research. Even when ALS has made him unable to move, Hawking was still able to come up with many brilliant theories and make many predictions with the help of a wheelchair. Such value is more priceless than money.
But after Hawking's deathThe wheelchair is being contested by many of the tech companies involved in building it, and they are ready to take it for themselves. Although scientists often have very high research results, they are often very poor in terms of money.
This wheelchair, Hawking used it all his life, thoughBut he only has the right to use it。At that time, many technology companies participated in investing in the creation of this wheelchair.
Because some of these tech companies are competing too hard, it will be difficult for anyone to attribute the wheelchair to quell the turmoil. Eventually, Hawking's hometown kept the wheelchair in the Royal British Museum. This is also the best memorial to Hawking, a great scientist.
The universe is infinite and human beings are small. Many scientists, like Stephen Hawking, live a very poor life, but they are still able to overcome difficulties and obstacles, just to be able to contribute a little bit of their own strength to human development.
Their inspirational lives are examples for us to learn from. For them, money is not the focus of their consideration, and the ability to acquire new knowledge and promote the development of mankind is the goal that these scientists have pursued all their lives.
