The stories between the rich and the beautiful seem to be inseparable from the words "profit" and "desire".
Recently, the boiling "Epstein case" has regained widespread public attention because of the unsealing of the second batch of court documents.
The 19 prosecution documents totaled more than 300 pages, and there may be about 200 powerful and famous people who may be involved in the case. However, the role of these celebrities in this will have to wait for more documents to be declassified one by one.
In terms of current information alone, in addition to Prince Andrew, former US President Clinton, Michael Jackson and others, the famous physicist Stephen Hawking is also on the list.
In March 2006, Hawking flew to St. Thomas to participate in a scientific forum to discuss the physics of "energy in open space is not zero" with well-known scientists from various countries.
But the crux of the matter is that Hawking also landed on Epstein's private island during the same period.
Hawking's unexpected inclusion on the list was unexpected by people all over the world. After all, before 2008, Hawking only had three fingers left. With Epstein committing suicide in prison and Stephen Hawking dying in Cambridge, England, what happened to Hawking on the island is a complete mystery.
"In Love with Jane"
Hawking was diagnosed with "ALS" at the age of 21, and his life before the age of 21 was simply a model life like a scholar.
Hawking was born in 1942 into a family of high-class intellectuals, his father was an Oxford-educated tropical disease specialist, and his mother studied philosophy, economics and politics at Oxford.
Hawking was born with a buff, studying only Xi hour a day, and was admitted to Oxford University at the age of 17. After a three-year course in physics at Oxford, he applied to Cambridge for a master's degree, where he began studying cosmology and black holes.
Geniuses are always favored and sought after. During the time at Cambridge University, Hawking had a beautiful and gentle girlfriend Jane by his side, and the relationship between the two began in Cambridge, and before they took off, they ushered in the first obstacle of ALS.
At that time, after a sophisticated examination, doctors announced that Hawking had only two years left to live. Genius minds are like walking a tightrope, and in addition to bursting inspiration in an instant, they can also make life-changing decisions in an instant.
After learning about Hawking's illness, Jane stayed by his side, and in addition to completing her school work, she would also teach herself simple nursing knowledge.
At this moment, she didn't know that Hawking would be internationally renowned in the future, and his assets would be enough to hire senior nurses from several countries, and she would not need these introductory nursing care that she taught herself.
In fact, Jane, as the daughter born in a diplomat family, her original dream was actually to carry forward her family ambitions and embark on the path of a diplomat, but because of Hawking's health, she chose to give up and began to give as much as possible in her relationship.
Even, in October 1964, Jane agreed to Hawking's marriage proposal knowing that Hawking was seriously ill.
After two years of marriage, Hawking's health deteriorated until he could no longer take care of himself. But his spirit continues to explore in the black hole, and the achievements of "black hole", "Hawking radiation", "singularity" and "A Brief History of Time" have made Hawking famous all over the world.
In particular, with the advent of "A Brief History of Time", he was unanimously praised as the greatest person by physics enthusiasts from all over the world, because real physicists can always use the most easy-to-understand language to explain the origin of the universe to the world......
In the process of continuous exploration in physics, Hawking and Jane's married life has also passed smoothly for 25 years, and during these years, he and Jane have two sons and a daughter.
According to the trajectory of the time, unprecedented scientific achievements, inspirational scientific research with a disability, and a mysterious private life all made Hawking firmly on the altar.
"Love is not at the right time"
Unfortunately, Hawking's condition deteriorated again, and his three fingers, which were unable to move freely, were no longer under control...... You can only rely on "brainwaves to transform speech" to express your thoughts.
The more Hawking's scientific achievements became, the more his wife, Jane, was disregarded, until the advent of organist Jonathan Jones revitalized her stagnant life.
Hawking was sensitive to the changes in his wife, but he was helpless. And just one of his own nurses, Elaine Mason, confessed that he secretly made a decision in his heart.
Recalling the "two-year period" in the original doctor's mouth, by 1990, Jane had unknowingly insisted on a long 25 years.
The two eventually divorced peacefully, and Jane's last sentence "I loved you, I did my best". Later, it was also used in film works, and the love that was not in time was the saddest, which made countless audiences cry.
postscript
It wasn't until 2004 that Hawking and Elaine Mason officially entered into their second marriage. But unfortunately, the marriage of worship union has long been consumed in the dull and boring day after day of getting along......
Hawking's second marriage ended undignifiedly, and according to media reports, he may have suffered some abuse......
After ending his second marriage to Elaine Mason, Hawking also fell in love with a third caregiver, Diana, perhaps because of the previous experience or the backlash of his three children, and his third engagement ring was given away, but it did not get married.
After many years, Hawking's only daughter, Lucy Hawking, has also become an internationally renowned children's fiction writer, the eldest son holds an important position at Microsoft, and the younger son is not interested in science or writing, but has taken a different path and embarked on the path of art.
Now that the "Epstein case" has been brought up again, it is still an unknown question whether Hawking will be able to protect himself.
After all, even if it is on the list, it does not necessarily confirm that it was involved in Epstein's criminal acts. Time will give the public a satisfactory answer.
But in any case, Hawking's contribution to the world cannot be ignored, and even if the merits and demerits cannot be compensated, we should look at the whole thing with a tolerant and benevolent eye.
