 About Hawking 關(guān)于霍金

     Stephen William Hawking is an English theoretical physicist and cosmologist, whose scientific books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and in 2009 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.
     Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for 30 years, taking up the post in 1979 and retiring on 1 October 2009. He is now Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. He is also a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and a Distinguished Research Chair at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario. He is known for his contributions to the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity, especially in the context of black holes. He has also achieved success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general; these include the runaway best seller A Brief History of Time, which stayed on the British Sunday Times bestsellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.
     Hawking's key scientific works to date have included providing, with Roger Penrose, theorems regarding gravitational singularities in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation, which is today known as Hawking radiation(or sometimes as Bekenstein-Hawking radiation).
     Hawking has a motor neurone disease that is related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a condition that has progressed over the years and has left him almost completely paralyzed.
     霍金的魅力不僅在于他是一個充滿傳奇色彩的物理天才,也因為他是一個令人折服的生活強者。他不斷求索的科學(xué)精神和勇敢頑強的人格力量深深地吸引了每一個知道他的人?;加屑∪馕s性側(cè)索硬化癥的他,近乎全身癱瘓,不能發(fā)音,但1988年仍出版《時間簡史》,至今已出售逾2500萬冊,成為全球最暢銷的科普著作之一。
     霍金的生平是非常富有傳奇性的,在科學(xué)成就上,他是有史以來最杰出的科學(xué)家之一。他擔(dān)任的職務(wù)是劍橋大學(xué)有史以來最為崇高的教授職務(wù),那是牛頓和狄拉克擔(dān)任過的盧卡遜數(shù)學(xué)教授。他擁有幾個榮譽學(xué)位,是皇家學(xué)會會員?;艚鸾淌谑乾F(xiàn)代科普小說家,他的代表作是1988年撰寫的《時間簡史》,這是一篇優(yōu)秀的天文科普小說。作者想象豐富,構(gòu)思奇妙,語言優(yōu)美,字字珠璣,更讓人咋驚,世界之外,未來之變,是這樣的神奇和美妙。這本書至今累計發(fā)行量已達2500萬冊,被譯成近 40種語言。1992年耗資350萬英鎊的同名電影問世?;艚饒孕抨P(guān)于宇宙的起源和生命的基本理念可以不用數(shù)學(xué)來表達,世人應(yīng)當(dāng)可以通過電影--這一視聽媒介來了解他那深奧莫測的學(xué)說。本書是關(guān)于探索時間本質(zhì)和宇宙最前沿的通俗讀物,是一本當(dāng)代有關(guān)宇宙科學(xué)思想最重要的經(jīng)典著作,它改變了人類對宇宙的觀念。本書一出版即在全世界引起巨大反響。

     Hawking was inspired by his mathematics teacher and found his love for mathematics.
     霍金受到數(shù)學(xué)老師的啟發(fā)并發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己對數(shù)學(xué)的熱愛。
     Moreover, it might even allow for experimental observation of a Hawking-like phenomenon.
     而且,它說不定可讓類霍金現(xiàn)象的實驗觀測成真。
     Hawking took the scholarship examinations with the aim of studying natural sciences at Oxford.
     霍金抱著去牛津?qū)W習(xí)自然科學(xué)的目的參加了獎學(xué)金考試。
     Hawking has questioned the way that people think about the world in terms of theories of space and time.
     霍金對人們根據(jù)時間和空間論考慮世界的方法產(chǎn)生了質(zhì)疑。
     Unless the hole swallows matter or energy to make up the loss, the Hawking radiation will drain it of all its mass.
     除非黑洞吞噬新物質(zhì)或新能量來彌補損失,要不然霍金輻射會把它所有的質(zhì)量洩漏個精光。
     The result is the same as the temperature that Hawking computed by very different means.

     Proving his theory by observing actual Hawking radiation from a black hole in outer space has therefore remained a practical impossibility.
     因此,通過從外空的一個黑洞來觀察實際的霍金輻射來證明其理論的正確性,就成了在實踐上一個不可能完成的任務(wù)。
