斯蒂芬·霍金和我们对宇宙不断变化的看法

Cosmologist Stephen Hawking changed our view of the universe with his remarkable theories and outreach. He also inspired generations around the world, making some of the most complicated physics of our time accessible to the masses.

He also suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosisor, or ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, which gradually paralyzed him over the decades. Despite this crippling disease, Hawking produced ground-breaking theories on black holes and other celestial phenomena.

宇宙学家斯蒂芬·霍金用他非凡的理论和远见改变了我们对宇宙的看法。他还激励了世界各地的几代人，使我们这个时代的一些最复杂的物理学为大众所理解。

他还患有肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症(ALS)，也被称为卢伽雷氏症(Lou Gehrig’s disease)，在过去的几十年里，这种疾病让他逐渐瘫痪。尽管身患这种致残的疾病，霍金还是提出了关于黑洞和其他天体现象的突破性理论。

2008年4月21日，周一，霍金博士发表了题为“为什么我们应该进入太空”的演讲，这是纪念美国宇航局成立50周年系列活动的一部分。他的女儿露西和他一起上台。
