In the bathroom.
Staring at the invitation in hand.
Xu Yun's heart skipped a beat fiercely!
Anyone familiar with the Transmigrator should know.
Over a decade ago, on June 28, 2009, soone held a "Ti Traveler Convention."
To avoid impersonation.
He did not send out invitations or leak any information before the event was held.
After the party ended.
He sent out the invitations.
The invitation invited those with "transcending" abilities to the banquet, stating the location as Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge, and thoughtfully marking the latitude and longitude.
This person believed.
If soone "from the future" could see this invitation and "travel" back to the past.
Then he would et a genuine "Ti Traveler" at that convention.
But in the end, his response in an interview was:
"I waited for a long ti, and no one attended the gathering."
During the interview, he also publicly shared the video recorded at this party.
In the video.
He sat alone in the room, with toast and champagne beside him, earnestly hoping for the door to open or for a mysterious "future person" to suddenly appear.
But eventually, no one showed up.
Later, the academic community reached a consensus:
This experint has already demonstrated that ti travel to the past is fundantally impossible.
The person who conducted this experint was by no ans an insignificant figure; his na was.....
Stephen William Hawking.
Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, United Kingdom. It's worth ntioning that he was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death.
His father, Frank, was a tropical disease expert who graduated from the University of Oxford, and his mother, Isabel, graduated from Oxford in 1930 with studies in philosophy, politics, and economics.
Under the education of two alumni of the University of Oxford, Hawking eventually went to the University of Cambridge to study cosmology...
In 1963.
21-year-old Hawking received bad news:
He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neuron disease.
At that ti, doctors diagnosed that he could only live for two years due to this terminal illness, but he defiantly survived.
And the price was...
Paralysis.
By 1985.
Hawking faced another misfortune:
Due to pneumonia, he underwent tracheotomy surgery and was completely deprived of his ability to speak, with lectures and Q&A sessions only possible through a voice synthesizer.
Confined to a wheelchair, only three fingers and two eyes could move, his body severely deford by disease, with his head tilted only to the right.
His left shoulder sagged, his right shoulder elevated, hands tightly held together, clutching a palm-sized resonator.
His feet twisted inward, while his mouth was almost shaped into an S curve.
Even a slight smile would imdiately reveal a "grinning" look.
He couldn't write, and depended on a machine to turn pages when reading books.
When reading loose-leaf docunts.
He needed soone to spread each page flat on a large office desk, and then maneuver his wheelchair page by page like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves.
However, such a person who completely lost physical freedom and speech ability, possessed the most avant-garde, sharpest, freest, and most unfettered thoughts, showcasing unparalleled brilliance in the field of science.
His tenacious will and vitality deserve everyone's respect and learning.
The evolution of his wheelchair alone could essentially constitute a modern technological developnt history.
On the other hand.
Many people thereby regard Hawking's value mainly as spiritual inspiration, asserting that his achievents in history are hardly noteworthy.
This is obviously a mistake.
Indeed.
Hawking is highly praised partly due to the added sentint of his condition, but disregarding irrelevant factors, purely from Hawking's academic achievents is indeed significant.
After all, academic prizes aren't awarded purely because Hawking has a disability.
Hawking received nurous academic awards, mostly from his earlier research achievents.
For instance, in 1966, he wrote "Singularity and Space-Ti Geotry."
In 1968.
He published a paper with Penrose on initial ti.
In 1971.
He published "Black Holes."
In 1974.
Hawking proposed the "Black Hole Explosion" at the second Quantum Gravity Conference at Newton University.
He later proved the singularity theorem and black hole area theorem of general relativity, and pointed out the theory of black hole evaporation and the boundaryless Hawking universe model.
In the field of astrophysics, his achievents were recognized with the Einstein Award.
As for why Hawking never received a Nobel Prize, it was because he focused on theoretical research.
A physics achievent, if only theoretical without experintal proof, is insufficient for a Nobel Prize.
For example, British scientist Higgs proposed the existence of the Higgs Particle more than 50 years ago.
However, it was not until 2012, when the European Organization for Nuclear Research experintally found the Higgs Particle, that Higgs won the Nobel Prize in 2013.
This is the Higgs Particle, the particle that gives everything mass.
Described in fantasy novels, it's the 'primordial energy of all things' pointing directly to the essence of the universe, but you can't win an award until it's discovered.
The sa goes for Hawking.
Since "Hawking Radiation" has yet to be experintally observed, his theories remain unverified through experintation.
Hence, also not eligible for a Nobel Prize.
When discussing Hawking, another person is almost always ntioned—conversely, the sa is true.
This person is Elder Yang.
Public debates about the two have endured for a decade or two, both within and outside the academic circle, ntion one, and the other inevitably follows in discussion.
