Continued from the previous issue: How much do you know about Hawking's legend, and are his predictions and warnings reliable? (II)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > legend five: rich and active social life</h1>
Hawking's whole body will not move, but he has always maintained a childlike heart, enthusiastically participating in various social activities, more active than a healthy person. Some of the activities that his highly disabled body participated in were sometimes unbelievable.
For example, he opened a weibo in China and gained nearly 40 million followers. On this Weibo, he patiently replied to interesting questions raised by netizens, the last reply was at 15:00 on November 24, 2017, in a video and Hawking's synthetic voice, replying to a netizen named @TFBOYS-Wang Junkai.
To know that Hawking died on March 14, 2018, this reply is only more than 3 months from his death, has been very ill, the average person has long been taking care of themselves, in the final struggle with the disease, will also reply to netizens about the "future of mankind" topic?
But Hawking is not an ordinary person, and his thoughts have always been wandering in the universe. The video uses Hawking's unique synthetic tone to reply to the netizens' thinking and curiosity about the future. He believes that because human destruction of the environment is threatening our survival, human beings must find new colonizing planets. But humanity is not all transferred, but selects a part of the people who ensure that they can survive, and migrates to the outer planets to ensure the continuation of humanity.
But where to go is something that thinkers and explorers need to think about.
He also said that we need to think about how to live in the future, and we must also think about how to alleviate today's problems. He believes that human traditional culture will not disappear, and that human music and art are only for human beings and are useless to foreign species, so there is no need to worry.
What are you worried about? I think what he's trying to say is not to be afraid of alien species.
Hawking came to China three times.
The three were in 1985, 2002 and 2006. His first two lectures at the University of Science and Technology of China were two lectures, one on the theory of black hole formation and the other on why time is always moving forward. The second time, he was cordially received by the then supreme leader of the country.
On his third visit to China, he was received with a reception no less than the level of a national leader, gave lectures on the origin of the universe in Hong Kong and Beijing, and toured the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven Park. In response to a netizen asking him what topic he was interested in in China, he said that Chinese culture and food are liked, but the most interested in Chinese beauty is very beautiful.
His answer does not make people feel erotic at all, but reflects that although his whole body will not move, his thoughts are still optimistic and witty, full of yearning for beauty and love.
Hawking experiences the "bliss" of weightlessness at a height of 10,000 meters
Fly to the blue sky and soar freely
On April 26, 2007, Hawking and his medical staff flew on the "Gravity One" aircraft at the Florida Space Center in the United States, experienced a state of near zero gravity for 25 seconds, and in this short period of time, he got rid of the wheelchair and heart rate and blood pressure monitor that accompanied him for more than 50 years, experienced "bliss" in the weightless state, and became the first disabled person to experience weightless flight.
Fantastic ideas
On June 28, 2009, Hawking hosted a special dinner with Case College at gonville, Cambridge, UK, specifically for future time travelers.
A sign welcoming time traveler hung at the entrance of the dinner hall
The biggest feature of this dinner is that it is held in secret, no one knows about it, and it is officially invited by the media after the dinner. People in such a modern reality cannot receive this invitation before the dinner. But if there is really a rumor on the Internet that the future people travel back through time travel, the future people can certainly receive this invitation, they will certainly not miss such an opportunity to date the famous legendary scientists of the 21st century.
Hawking prepared toast and champagne and sat alone in the dinner hall waiting, but disappointingly, until the end of the agreed time at the dinner party, there was not a future person from time travel to attend. Therefore, Hawking believes that through this experiment, time travel is proved to be impossible.
Many people think that it is the future who does not appreciate Hawking's face and scorns this dinner party, so it does not prove that there is no such thing as time travel. But I think that in the future, people will really achieve time travel, and it will be easy to go to any corner of the earth, and receiving such an invitation will not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, I also agree with Hawking's conclusion that people in the future cannot turn back time, except for science fiction, there is no such thing as traveling back to the past in reality. However, some people spread the rumor that Hawking's experiment proved that human beings would become extinct in the future.
He has starred in many films and televisions
Hawking has also participated in many film and television films and documentaries. In 1992, he made a cameo appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation, playing a unique time-lapse poker game with actors who played Newton, Einstein, and Cyborg Encyclopedia. This is his film and television debut, although the time is not long, but it has left a deep impression on people.
This year, the famous rock band Pink Floyd implanted Hawking's "rap" in the song "Continue Talking"; in 2014, they continued to collaborate and created the single "Talkin' Hawkin", which made the world full of expectations.
He also starred as a physicist in the cartoons "The Simpsons" and "Flying Out of the Future" and voiced himself; in the American drama "The Big Bang Theory", Hawking played himself again, communicating face to face with the protagonist Xie Er, who fainted in the face of his idol, hawking just calmly said: "Another fainting powder". The performance was very well done and humorous.
Hawking has also appeared in documentaries such as "The Real Hawking" in 2001 and "Hawking: A Brief History of Me" in 2013. The directors and actors involved in these films are full of affirmation and respect for Hawking's performance, believing that although his appearance in the film is very short, each shot has a black hole-like capacity, which is thought-provoking and shocking.
This is a childlike Hawking, a hawking who is more optimistic and curious than normal, looking forward to integrating into society and challenging anything.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > Legend No. 6: Hawking's various prophecies and warnings</h1>
When Hawking was alive, he was full of interest and thinking about the current situation and future of mankind, as well as everything in the universe, and often had some unique views published, some prophecies and warnings that shocked the world. After his death, the enthusiasm for him continued unabated, and from time to time someone took out his prophecies or warnings and talked about them.
Now according to some legends on the Internet, Hawking's prophecies and warnings are roughly listed as follows:
The sun will dormant earth in 2030; human extinction in 2060; humans will fall into a black hole and reach another world; by 2045 humans will reach the realm of immortality; artificial intelligence will replace humans; aliens have been monitoring the earth; warn humans not to talk to aliens; don't go to the moon again, there are aliens behind the moon.
Which of these prophecies and warnings are true, which are false, which are right and which are wrong? We will analyze them one by one in the next issue and give you a truth.
