Ngesikhathi eneminyaka engu-21 nje kuphela, odokotela banikeze uHayking ukuxilongwa okwesabekayo, okungekho muntu owedlula iminyaka emihlanu engekho - BAS, noma isifo sikaLou Gehrig, noma isifo sikaCharcot. Kuyinto isifo esithuthuka kancane se-central central nerve system. Kodwa lapha imithi yayilungile.
Njengoba ubona, ingcweti yesimanjemanje, uStephen Hawking, yahlala iminyaka engu-76 futhi yashiya umhlaba lo nyaka. Futhi lezi zingcaphuno ezingu-11 ngezansi ziyoba uhlobo lokuzikhumbuza ekukhunjweni kwe-physicist ye-English physics, umbhali nomqondisi womsebenzi wesayensi esikhungweni se-Cosmology ye-Theory Cosmology eCambridge University.
1. Mayelana nokufunda kwakhe.
"Esikoleni ngangingekho phakathi kwabahlakaniphileyo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo ngineklasi eliqinile kakhulu. Umsebenzi wami weklasini wawuhlale usebenza ngendlela engafanele, futhi uthisha wami akakwazanga ukubhala ngesandla. Kodwa, naphezu kwalokhu, engifunda nabo banginika igama lesiteketiso elithi "Einstein". Ngakho-ke, ngokusobala, base bevele bazi okuthile ngami. Futhi lapho ngineminyaka engu-12 ubudala, omunye wabangane bami wayephikisana nomunye esikhwameni samaswidi, ukuthi ngizohlala ngiyisiwula. Angisazi ukuthi ubani wabo owawinawo, kodwa olahlekile. "

2. Mayelana nokuhlangana nabasha.
"Uma abafokazi beza kithi, imiphumela iyoba yimbi kakhulu kunokutholwa kweMelika nguColumbus, owaziwa, ngokudabukisayo kwaphela amaMelika aseMelika. Kufanele sibheke, kuqala kokubili, kithi ukuthi sibone ukuthi impilo ehlakaniphile ingaba kanjani into esingayithandi ukuhlangabezana nayo. "
- kusukela ohlelweni lwethelevishini "Emhlabeni jikelele noStephen Hawking", 2010.
3. Ngesikhathi sokuthola okusha kwesayensi.
"Ngeke ngikuqhathanise lokhu nocansi, kodwa nakanjani kuqhubeka izikhathi eziningi."
- kusukela enkulumweni e-Arizona State University, ngo-Ephreli 2011.
4. Ukukhubazeka.
"Uma uboshelwe esihlalweni sabakhubazekile, ayikho iphutha lakho, kepha lokho akusho ukuthi kufanele usole izwe lonke, ulindele ukuthi uzokuhawukela. Konke okudingayo ukuthi ube nethemba ngalokhu konke bese uzama ukukhipha esimweni esihle kunazo zonke kuphela okuhle kakhulu; uma othile ephansi ngokomzimba, ngakho-ke akufanele avumele ukuthi abe nokulinganiselwa kwengqondo. Ngikholelwa ukuthi kuleli cala elibalulekile kubalulekile ukuba umuntu agxilise amehlo akhe futhi aqondise wonke amandla akhe kulezo zenzo lapho ukulinganiselwa ngokomzimba okungenayo inkinga ngokwabo. Ngesaba ukuthi angisoze ngathola umdlali omuhle weParalympic, kodwa empeleni angizange ngithande ama-athletics. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isayensi yinkundla ehle kakhulu yabantu abakhubazekile ngokomzimba, ngoba lapha kuyadingeka ukusebenza, okokuqala, ngenhloko. Yiqiniso, kungenzeka ukuthi uzohileleka engxenyeni yokuhlola, kodwa-ke ungakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wokufunda. Ngami, ukukhubazeka kwami akusona isithiyo esiqinile ekutadisheni i-physics ye-physics. Ngempela, kwangisiza ngigweme izinkulumo ezingapheli nomsebenzi wokuphatha engingayenza, uma kungengenxa yokugula kwami. Noma kunjalo, ngiphumelele kule nsimu kuphela ngenxa yosizo lwangisebenza nabo, abafundi, umfazi nezingane. Ngaqaphela ukuthi abantu abaningi bahlale bejabula ukusiza, kodwa lokhu kufanele ubakhuthaze, babakhuthaze, bakwenze kucace ukuthi ukusekelwa kwabo esikhathini esizayo kuyodala okungaphezulu. "

5. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
"Ngizobuya ngo-1967, usuku lokuzalwa kukaRobert wami wokuqala. Zonke izingane zami ezintathu zangijabulisa kakhulu. "
- kusukela eNew York Times, kuMeyi 2011.
6. Mayelana nesiphetho kanye nenkululeko yokuzikhethela.
"Ngiqaphele ukuthi abantu abathi konke kulungiselelwe kulokhu kuphila nokuthi akukho lutho olungenziwa yedwa, ngokushesha ushintshe izingqondo zabo ngokushesha nje lapho bewela umgwaqo."
- kusukela encwadini ethi "Black Holes and Young Universes".
7. Mayelana nesayensi ngokumelene nenkolo.
"Kukhona umehluko oyinhloko phakathi kwenkolo esekelwe emandleni nasesayensi esekelwe ekuboneni naseqinisweni. Ekugcineni, isayensi iyozuza, ngoba isebenza. "
- kusukela ku-ABC News, ngoJuni 2010.
8. Ukungapheleli.
"Ngesikhathi esilandelayo lapho omunye ekutshela ukuthi wenze iphutha, phendula ukuthi mhlawumbe kungcono nakakhulu. Ngoba ngaphandle kokungapheleli wena noma mina ngeke sibe khona. "
- kusukela ohlelweni lwethelevishini "Emhlabeni jikelele noStephen Hawking", 2010.
9. Mayelana ne-IQ yakho.
"Akukho mqondo. Abantu abaziqhenya ngezinga labo lobuhlakani balahlekile. "
- kusukela eNew York Times, Disemba 2014.
10. Mayelana nabesifazane.

"Okokuqala: ungakhohlwa ukubheka izinkanyezi, hhayi ezinyaweni zakho. Okwesibili: ungalokothi ushiye lokho okwenzayo. Umsebenzi unikeza inhloso, injongo, nokuphila ngaphandle kokuthi kungenalutho. Okwesithathu: uma unenhlanhla, futhi uzothola uthando lwakho, khumbula ukuthi akufanele kuhlakazeke. "
