一、NOBOUNDARIES
Imaginethis:
youaretwenty-oneyearsoldandapromisinggraduatestudentatoneofthetopuniversitiesintheworld.Oneday,yourdoctortellsyouthatyouhaveanincurablediseaseandmaynothavemorethantwelvemonthstolive.Howwouldyoufeel?
Whatwouldyoudo?
Mostofuswouldprobablyfeelverysadandgiveupourdreamsandhopesforthefuture.HereiswhatStephenHawkingthought:
(Theredidnotseem)muchpointinworkingonmyPhD—Ididnotexpecttosurvivethatlong.YettwoyearshadgonebyandIwasnotthatmuchworse.Infact,thingsweregoingratherwellformeandIhadgotengagedtoaverynicegirl,JaneWilde.Butinordertogetmarried,Ineededajobandinordertogetajob,IneededaPhD.
Insteadofgivingup,Hawkingwentonwithhisresearch,gothisPhDandmarriedJane.Nordidheletthediseasestophimfromlivingthekindoflifehehadalwaysdreamtof.HecontinuedhisexplorationoftheuniverseandstudentsinHangzhouandBeijing.Ashisdiseasehasdisabledhim,Hawkinghastositinhisnow-famouswheelchairandspeakthroughacomputer.Hetoldthestudentsabouthistheoriesandthoughtsonsomeofthegreatestquestions:
Whatistime,howdidtheuniversebegin,andwhatexactlyareblackholes?
Hawkingbecamefamousintheearly1970s,whenheandAmericanRogerPenrosemadenewdiscoveriesabouttheBigBangandblackholes.Sincethen,Hawkinghascontinuedtoseekanswerstoquestionsaboutthenatureoftheuniverse.In1998,hewroteABriefHistoryofTime,whichquicklybecameabest-seller.Readerswerepleasedandsurprisedtofindthatascientistcouldwriteabouthisworkinawaythatordinarypeoplecouldunderstand.
Inthebook,Hawkingexplainsbothwhatitmeanstobeascientistandhowscienceworks,hetellsreadershowdiscoveriesaremadeandhowtheychangetheworld.Science,accordingtoHawking,isoftenmisunderstood:
peopleoftenthinkthatscienceisabout“true”factsthatneverchange.Scientists,ontheotherhand,Hawkingwrites,knowthattheirjobisneverfinishedandthateventhebesttheorycanturnouttobewrong.
Ascientifictheoryistheresultofthescientificmethod.Scientistslookattheworldandtrytodescribeandexplainwhattheysee.First,theycarefullyobservewhattheyareinterestedin.toexplainwhattheyhaveseen,theybuildatheoryaboutthewayinwhichthingshappenandthecausesandeffects.Finally,thescientiststestthetheorytoseeifitmatcheswhattheyhaveseenandifitcanpredictfutureevents.Ifwhattheyareobservingcanbetestedinapracticalway,scientistswilluseexperiments.Butif,likeHawking,theyarestudyingsomethingthatistoolargeortoodifficulttoobservedirectly,theywilluseamodeltotestthetheory.
