On March 14, one of science’s brightest start went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at the age of 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Born in 1942, Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory(理论) that the universe(宇宙) began with the Big Bang(大爆炸) and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help people understand the universe. His most famous book
is A Brief History of Time(《时间简史》), which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also an inspiration to the whole world. When Hawking was 21, he was badly ill and it stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life.“If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically(心理上) disabled as well.” he once said.
Hawking traveled around the world to attend science meetings. He even has millions of fans in China. In 1985, he took a train trip around China. In 2006, he was invited to speak at a physics meeting in Beijing. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows. In April 2016, he
made a Sina Weibo account. His last post on Sina Weibo was written on Now 24, 2017. In the post, he answered two questions from Chinese pop star Wang Junkai.
Hawking may no longer be with us, but he will continue to inspire the world. He used to complain about his unfair life but then he felt pleased with what he had experienced. Just as he once said to himself, “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet.” Title: The Death of the Brightest Star Hawking’s misfortune(不幸) ◆At the age of 21, 6 made him disabled. ◆He had to sit in a wheelchair and lost the ability to speak himself.
