Hawking, as a master of astronomy, was 76 years old. Why didn't he win the Nobel Prize?

Because Hawking's greatest achievement is his Hawking radiation theory, but this theory has not been verified, and the Nobel Prize will not be awarded to a scientific achievement that has not been verified.

Stephen william hawking (1942 65438+1October 8 to 201March 08 14), male, was born in Oxford, England, a famous physicist at Cambridge University, one of the greatest physicists in modern times and one of the great men with international reputation in the 20th century.

Stephen william hawking is one of the great men with international reputation in this century, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Cambridge University, and the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist. Lucas Lecture on Mathematics at Cambridge University, UK, which is the highest honor lecture in the history of natural science after Newton and Dirac.

In 1970s, together with Penrose, he proved the famous singularity theorem, for which they jointly won the Wolff Prize in Physics of 1988. He is therefore known as the most famous scientific thinker and the most outstanding theoretical physicist in the world after Einstein.

Conquered 30 million readers around the world with a thin "A Brief History of Time". The black hole theory perfectly unifies quantum theory and thermodynamics in Hawking's radiation. The borderless quantum cosmology he proposed in 1980s solved the "first push" problem that puzzled the scientific community for hundreds of years.
