Stephen Hawking was born to Galileo Galilei, losing Albert Einstein's birthday

It can be said that even the birth and death of Stephen Hawking is extremely special.

Recently, genius physicist Stephen Hawking died at home. Incidentally, the day Hawking died coincided with Albert Einstein's birthday, another genius in theoretical physics.

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879. He was the discoverer of general relativity, one of the two pillars of current physics.

In 1921, he received the Nobel Prize for Physics for his dedication to theoretical physics and specifically for the discovery of the law of photoelectric effect. His work on the photovoltaic effect is a turning point in the creation of quantum theory.

And it is Hawking who initiated a cosmology based on the unity of Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He strongly supports the multi-world interpretation of quantum mechanics.

"Since Albert Einstein, no scientist has attracted so much public interest and is loved by tens of millions of people around the world , " said Professor of theoretical physics at New York University. Share to Hawking in an interview.

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8 , 1942 , coinciding with the 300th anniversary of the death of the physicist, astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei.

When he was born, Galileo played an important role in the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to telescopes and astronomical observations afterwards.

Galileo is considered the "father of observing modern astronomy", "the father of modern physics", "the father of science", and "the father of modern science."

Stephen Hawking himself once said: "Galileo, perhaps more than any single person, is responsible for the birth of modern science."

In the final years of his life, Galileo was forced to abandon his heliocentric theory and live under house arrest under the orders of the Roman Inquisition.
