The main deeds of celebrity Hawking

Stephen william hawking (1942 65438+1October 8 to 201March 08 14), male, was born in Oxford, England, a famous physicist at Cambridge University, one of the greatest physicists in modern times and one of the great men with international reputation in the 20th century.

1979 served as Lucas professor of mathematics from 2009 to 2009. His main research fields are cosmology and black holes. He proved the singularity theorem and the black hole area theorem of general relativity, put forward the black hole evaporation theory and the borderless Hawking universe model, and took an important step to unify the two basic theories of physics in the 20th century-Einstein's theory of relativity and Planck's theory of quantum mechanics.

20 17 recorded the documentary "exploring a new earth" for the British BBC. Physicist Stephen Hawking165438+1October 6 said that technology is expected to reverse some hazards brought by industrialization and help eliminate diseases and poverty, but artificial intelligence needs to be controlled. 20 17, 165438 10, Hawking predicted that energy consumption would increase in 2600 and the earth would become a "fireball".

Hawking's main academic thoughts:

1, time machine

Stephen william hawking, a famous British astrophysicist, made a surprising remark after admitting the existence of aliens: he claimed that it was theoretically feasible to fly humans into the future time machine, and the required conditions included wormholes in space or spacecraft with a speed close to the speed of light.

2. Alien theory

Stephen Hawking said in the documentary "Follow Stephen Hawking into the Universe" broadcast by the American Discovery Channel 20 10 on April 25th that there is a great possibility of the existence of aliens, but human beings should not take the initiative to look for them, and should make every effort to avoid contact with them to avoid the attack of the dark forest.

3. Interstellar migration

When Hawking was interviewed by BigThink, an American intellectual video sharing website, in August of 20 10, he made another astonishing remark, saying that the earth will be destroyed within 200 years, and there is only one way for human beings to survive: to emigrate to other planets.

4. Academic gambling

Hawking likes to gamble with other scholars on some scientific propositions, which has become a beautiful talk in the scientific community for a time.

5. High dimensional space

According to M theory (a superstring theory) put forward in 1990s, the universe is eleven-dimensional, and consists of vibration planes. In Einstein's view, the universe has only four dimensions (three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time), while modern physics believes that there are seven dimensions that we can't see.
