In 1990, Hawking, who was in a wheelchair, suddenly proposed to his wife to be with **Elaine. With tears in her eyes, his wife whispered, "I once loved you deeply, and I did my best." ”
Tears slipped down the two unconsciously, what really happened between them?Is Hawking cheating?Who is right and who is wrong?
Stephen William Hawking was born in the UK in 1942 and grew up in a family of academic champions. Although his study time was limited, with a maximum of one hour a day, he was able to get into Oxford University at the age of 17.
At school, Hawking was widely praised for his superior intelligence and talent, and was known as "Little Einstein".
At the age of 21, Hawking entered Cambridge University to study for a master's degree, specializing in cosmology and black holes. However, just as he was in the prime of his youth, he was diagnosed with "ALS", and his muscles gradually weakened until he was paralyzed.
Doctor ** He has only two years left to live.
Jane Hawking firmly chose to spend her life with Hawking, even though the two only had two years. In 1965, they officially entered the palace of marriage. It was the love and support with Jane that allowed Hawking to find hope in life, and he began to work and study diligently.
After Hawking and Jane's wedding, something unexpected happens!Hawking not only succeeded in breaking the prophecy, but also had three children with Jane: the eldest son was born in 1967, the daughter was born in 1970, and the second son was born in 1979.
Throughout Hawking's career, his wife and children have been by his side. Seizing the opportunities of the "black hole" and "singularity" theories, he successfully became a PhD at the University of Cambridge, a fellow at Case College, and even a professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
Not only does this mean that he has a stable income, but it also allows him to devote himself to what he loves – studying theoretical physics and astronomy.
In 1982, in order to earn tuition for his daughter, Hawking began to write "A Brief History of Time". At that time, his body had been tortured by "ALS" to the point that he could barely stand, sitting in an electric wheelchair, and his thin body and indistinct voice were the norm in his life.
However, his mind wanders through the vast universe, dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. "Where did the universe come from?".How did it start and why did it start?Will the universe eventually die, and if so, how? ”
A Brief History of Time is Hawking's popularization of astrophysics knowledge such as the theory of relativity, time and the origin of the universe in easy-to-understand language. As soon as it was released, the book was enthusiastically sought after, occupying the top spot on the bestseller list for 237 consecutive weeks, and selling more than 10 million copies worldwide, making Hawking a global superstar overnight, winning the honor of fame and fortune, which is enviable.
However, fate doesn't seem to particularly favor him.
1.In 1985, Hawking had an emergency tracheostomy and has been unable to express his thoughts since. But luckily, a computer expert developed a computer sounding device for him, which allows him to control the cursor with three moving fingers and select words on a speech synthesizer to communicate with the outside world.
2.In 031985, Hawking underwent an emergency tracheostomy that prevented him from expressing his thoughts in person. However, through the efforts of a computer expert, Hawking invented a set of computer-generating devices.
Since then, he has been able to control the cursor with only three fingers and select words on the synthesizer to communicate with the outside world. 3.In 1985, Hawking underwent emergency tracheostomy and was unable to put his thoughts into words.
However, a computer expert researched a computer sounding device for him, and Hawking could control the cursor with three moving fingers and select words on a speech synthesizer to communicate with the outside world.
4.In 031985, Hawking was unable to express his thoughts due to emergency tracheostomy. However, a computer expert developed a computer-generated device that allowed Hawking to control the cursor with only three moving fingers and select words on a speech synthesizer to communicate with the outside world.
Accompanied by Hawking and Elaine, Jane invited a 24-hour **-Elaine. This professional ** and sound equipment gave Hawking the idea of popularizing obscure scientific research to the public.
In the beginning, he always asked Jane, "Can you accompany me to those faraway places to speak?" Jane was torn between not wanting the children to be home alone and not being able to bear to refuse Hawking.
This contradiction caused her to be so stressed that she eventually suffered from a phobia of flying. She shuddered at the thought of flying.
Hawking is about to travel to the United States to give a speech, and he tells Jane that he needs his **Elaine to accompany him because Elaine will take care of him the whole time. Jane was a little surprised, as she noticed that Hawking and Elaine were getting closer.
Elaine's nursing skills are very high, not only taking care of Hawking in every possible way, but also often expressing her adoration and love for him. Hawking's growing dependence on her made Jane feel like an outsider.
So, does this mean that Hawking is having an affair?
Hawking and Jane's true love is silent - in the eyes of the public, they seem to be a perfect couple. However, the truth is that Hawking's life is completely unable to take care of himself, and Jane uses her love and strength to take care of him to dress, eat, bathe, and even go to the toilet, and hug him around the room and in the car.
At the same time, Jane had to raise children, write a doctorate**, and study medieval Spanish poetry. Because she knows that it is only through academic achievement that she can be respected in this society.
She is the daughter of a diplomat and once wanted to be a diplomat, but she gave up her dream for the sake of Hawking and her children. Their love is selfless, their dedication is silent, and their stories are touching.
In the world of scientists, wives are always overlooked. While Hawking doesn't take Jane's contribution for granted, he doesn't feel the need to express it explicitly, thinking it's a bit vulgar.
In the movie "The Theory of Everything", a physically and mentally exhausted Jane meets Jonathan, a young man who has just lost his leukemia wife, in the church in the cold winter of 1977.
They draw close to each other in the shadow of illness and death, looking for solace. Jane was fascinated by Jonathan: "I finally found someone who could understand life on the edge of life and death. ”
So, she took Jonathan home.
Hawking's conflict with Jonathan begins with Jonathan's status as a new graduate student of Hawking, who tries to show him his intelligence. However, in the end, Hawking chose to accept Jonathan into his family.
In his autobiography A Brief History of Me, Hawking describes the changes in his family. In 1979, Jane's mood became even lower after Hawking's trip to Corsica. She fears that Hawking will die soon, hoping to find someone to feed her and her children and marry her after his death.
So she found Jonathan and gave him a room in his apartment. Hawking should have been against it initially, but he also thought he would die early and needed someone to feed the children after his death.
However, he grows increasingly unhappy with the relationship between Jane and Jonathan. Eventually, Hawking moved out to live with Elaine Mason and couldn't live with it anymore.
In 1990, Hawking filed for divorce from his wife Jane: "I want to be with Elaine. Jane was silent, not knowing how to respond. Hawking reclined in his wheelchair and slowly typed out a line: "How many years?" ”
Jane burst into tears instantly: "The doctor said it's only been two years, and it's been many years.......""For 25 years, she has worked hard and experienced many ups and downs. Love is enduring and kind, but the power of love cannot withstand the erosion of time and disease.
They used to fight illness and time together, but love also faded in this struggle. Eventually, Jane spoke heavily, "I once loved you dearly, and I did my best." ”
Jane's words filled her bitterness. The two of them burst into tears in unison, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. When love becomes more and more difficult, it is better to choose to take a step back from each other and return to the position of friends.
In 1990, the two separated. In 1995, the two officially divorced. Four months later, Hawking married Elaine.
At Hawking's wedding, his children did not show up, which made him feel lost. Perhaps, this marriage was doomed to fail from the beginning. After that, Hawking suffered frequent injuries due to his own fall from his wheelchair.
What is even more unacceptable is that he was found exposed to the sun in the yard and almost died. After that, he was admitted to the hospital, where doctors were surprised to find out that he had unidentified injuries, including bruises, knife wounds, and broken bones.
What is even more distressing is that his respirator has been tampered with. Hawking's daughter accidentally discovered this fact and called the police in anger, and the truth was revealed.
Elaine is suspected of abusing Hawking, and multiple caregiver confessions point to her, including Hawking who has said he doesn't want to be alone with her. In response, Jane angrily points out that Elaine's arrival is a conspiracy.
Despite this, Hawking chose to remain silent and condemn outside interference with him. Due to Hawking's non-cooperation, it was not possible to investigate in depth. Finally in 2006, Hawking and Elaine divorced, and the two parted ways.
After Hawking's divorce, he reconnected with Jane and the children, and they often dined together, as if they had stepped back in time. Jane still takes care of Hawking, and their relationship remains close.
Despite once loving each other, they are still friends. In 2013, Jane published a memoir titled "Flying to Infinity – Days with Stephen Hawking."
This is a book that commemorates their passionate love, but also reveals the relentless erosion of the brutal reality of life after love fades. The book describes in detail the process of a special kind of marriage, and the process of this marriage from life to death, which is thought-provoking.
The Theory of Everything: A film that explores love and time In 2014, the film "The Theory of Everything" was based on the book of the same name, starring Freckles Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking, for which he won an Oscar.
The movie not only shows Hawking's love story, but also delves into the mystery of time. Hawking believes that wormholes are shortcuts to space-time tunnels, which can be used to transfer time and space instantly, using time machines to travel to the future, and traveling through the "four-dimensional space" to roam in time.
At the end of the movie, through a quick montage, we see Hawking lying in a wheelchair, tearfully watching Jane and saying "I loved you, I did my best".
This moment seems to be a reversal of time, which makes people deeply feel the helplessness of love and time.
Hawking overcame the odds and was firmly confined to a wheelchair.
Hawking and Jane's wedding scene was like a rain of blooming petals, but now, those petals seem to be pulled by a mysterious force and fly upwards back into the sky.
Before Hawking falls and slams into the yard, time suddenly reverses and he magically rises from the ground.
