5. The story you didn't know
The story you didn't know is about Stephen Hawking, a genius physicist who was born on the day Galileo Galilei died and died on Einstein's birthday.
This video is not about Stephen Hawking's scientific achievements or theory, but about his life, so please refer to it.
Even though I can't move and I can only speak through a computer, I am free in my heart.
On March 14, 2018, the world's physicist Stephen Hawking passed away, and the world was filled with sorrow.
As many of you know, Hawking is a great theoretical physicist who has studied why the universe exists.
Based on Einstein's relativistic theory, the theory that the space-time of the universe was created by a big bang and disappeared into a black hole shocked the world.
What's more amazing is that he did everything even though he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease.
But in fact, Hawking was not a model student when he was young. Rather, it was the opposite.
His academic attitude was very backward, and his writing also disappointed his teachers.
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England in 1942.
He was going to send him to Wenster Minster School, a prestigious private high school in England, but Hawking's house wasn't that rich.
His parents sent Hawking to St. Albans School, which was a little cheaper.
Which geniuses studied well when they were students?
Hawking's grades were below average. He only read when he was 8 years old.
When he was 12, his friends bet on whether Hawking could grow into a proper human being.
His parents dismissed Hawking's admission to Oxford University.
But Hawking's genius suddenly showed up.
Actually, Hawking didn't study much, so his grades weren't good.
At that time, Oxford was a school that prioritized students and geniuses.
Hawking was just the right person.
Even though Hawking didn't study, he stood out in physics and math with the knowledge he read in the book.
At the age of 17, he succeeded in physics at Oxford University.
But he didn't study hard at college, so his grades weren't good.
But he was happy with his college life.
He was healthy enough to play a key role in the championship.
When he graduated from college, Hawking was originally going to apply for a civil service.
But he forgot the date of the written exam, so he couldn't take the exam.
Hawking couldn't take the civil service exam, so he decided to study.
He went to Cambridge University in the UK in 1962.
Hawking had been interested in cosmology for a long time.
He applied to Professor Fred Hoy, who was a British astronomer and a supporter of normal cosmology.
A stupid professor named Dennis Sciamma was appointed as Hawking's professor.
As a result, this incident helped Hawking's research in the future.
Professor Dennis Sciamma wasn't famous, so he had a lot of time.
He was able to talk a lot with Hawking.
But until then, Hawking didn't study hard.
He relied only on his genius.
But something changed Hawking's life.
One day, he fell down while skating in the evening and couldn't get up.
When he went to the hospital, he was diagnosed with a muscle atrophy called Lou Gehrig's disease.
Lou Gehrig's disease is a disease that shows muscle constriction, paralysis, and stiffness.
It is an incurable disease that makes it difficult to swallow food, as well as difficult to walk.
In other words, the body doesn't move as it pleases.
If you get Lou Gehrig's disease, one in three people will die within a year, and more than half will die within two years.
When he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, Hawking was only 21 years old.
Hawking, who was usually in despair, was diagnosed with cancer,
and he began to live an ambitious life to make the rest of his life more useful.
Before he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, Hawking was in a relationship with a woman named Jane Wilde,
and they promised to get married even though they knew they didn't have much time.
Hawking got a job to marry Jane, and became a researcher at Cambridge University's Gombeel & Chaos College.
From this point on, Hawking's career began.
He also held a wedding with Jane in July 1965.
Although he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, he held a wedding, so you can feel how much their love grew.
However, as Hawking's disease got worse, and as Hawking became famous, their marriage life began to crumble.
Hawking became famous because of this.
Until 1964, scientists argued that the universe has maintained the same form from the past to the present,
and that the universe was created when a hot and dense molecule exploded.
Hawking openly debunked Fred Hoy, who was the main speaker of the normal universe theory through his doctoral thesis,
which was about the origin of special points and time and space.
Fred Hoy, who was criticized by Hawking, was a star physicist who failed when Hawking, who came out of the front, asked him to be a professor.
Hawking became famous by dissing Fred Hoy, but until then, he was just a physicist.
Hawking became famous as a genius in 1974,
when he came up with the copy theory of Hawking, which combined quantum mechanics with general relativity theory.
The copy theory of Hawking surprised the world, and at the same time, it brought controversy.
The most important quality of black hole was that once the material entered the black hole, it could never come out.
Hawking argued that if a quantum phenomenon occurs around the black hole,
particles, i.e. light, can be released out of the black hole.
Hawking was selected as the youngest member of the Royal Academy of Sciences,
and in 1979, he was appointed as Professor Lucas, the greatest honor of Cambridge University.
Before Hawking, Professor Lucas had a close relationship with Isaac Newton, Paul Dirac, etc.
While Hawking was building a world-class reputation and career,
his wife Jane was sick with depression while taking care of Stephen Hawking.
According to Jane Hawking's memoir,
Jane said that the more she met the expectations of others who thought she would have a normal life,
the more abnormal her family life became,
and she revealed the reality of her marriage.
Hawking is said to have been an omnipotent emperor,
and he said that he felt like he was being desired by someone.
Jane Hawking's memoir was a hit with the sympathy of female readers,
but Hawking's close friends were very angry.
One of the close friends said that when Stephen Hawking was suffering from acute pneumonia,
Jane Hawking was in a relationship with a man named Hellier Jones.
As a result, Stephen Hawking lost his voice due to pneumonia,
and Hawking and Jane divorced.
Hawking remarried Elaine Mason, one of the nurses who took care of him,
and Jane remarried Hellier Jones.
After the remarriage, Hawking wrote a history of 1988
with the sense of duty to convey the history we have studied to readers
in order to understand the laws that dominate the universe.
In the history of time, which has been the bestseller of science for about 30 years,
it contains the overall story of Hawking's research and cosmology.
Hawking had everything in money and fame,
but his marital life was not peaceful.
His second wife, Elaine, was shocked to hear that Hawking was being assaulted.
In the end, Hawking and Elaine divorced in 2007,
and Hawking lived alone.
But he didn't despair.
He didn't stop his research even in his old age.
He was in a situation where he had to wash his body in a wheelchair
and use a computer voice synthesizer to speak,
but he worked harder than anyone else to reveal the secrets of the universe.
In 2010, he published a book called The Great Design,
and Hawking, who was an atheist, once again denied the existence of God through this book.
It's also the reason why Hawking doesn't like religion.
In an interview, Hawking openly denied God in the book.
Big Bang, the origin of the universe, emphasizes that it is not God, but a natural phenomenon,
and the universe was not designed by God, but it was created by itself.
Science also makes God unnecessary.
But Hawking, who lives a life where he can't do anything by himself in a wheelchair,
was not so happy with his personal life.
In a BBC broadcast and interview in 2015, Hawking said,
If I feel like I'm not helping the world anymore and I'm just building a house around me,
I'll consider how to end my life.
People are afraid to talk to me,
and they don't wait for me to answer in writing,
so I'm always extremely lonely.
I'm introverted, and I'm always tired,
so it's hard to talk to someone I don't know.
But he didn't just say sad things.
One of Hawking's famous things is humor.
He said that his luxurious English pronunciation doesn't come out of his artificial voice,
and he also said that physics and humor are the driving force of my life.
Hawking, who lived a joyful, passionate,
but at the same time personally free life,
died in his home in Cambridge at the age of 76 in 2018.
Hawking did not stop his research until the full moon of his death.
With the idea of conveying knowledge about science and the universe to the public,
and with the idea of contributing to humanity.
Stephen Hawking's death was placed in Westminster Park,
where Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin slept.
We live in a world dominated by reason.
But don't look down, but look up and look at the stars.
You should be curious about the reason why the universe exists,
and why what you see is meaningful.
Always have curiosity.
This is the end of this episode about the genius physicist Stephen Hawking.
