D., he says.很快,医生告诉他这个坏消息:他得的是病,而且病情只会越来越糟,却无法治愈。霍金不知所措。没有多久,他需要拐杖走路,还开始酗酒,而对学习却置之不理。他说,“当时看来,完成我的博士学位没有什么用处了。”ParagraphNine1、overwhelm 征服、制服、使应接不暇、压垮

46、istible gravity. A voluminous region surrounding the singularity becomes a black hole, from which - because of that immense gravity - nothing, not even light, can escape. 使我感到惊奇的是,我发现我喜欢刻苦了。”特别引起斯蒂芬兴趣的是奇点,这是广义相对论中所预言的怪物。爱因斯坦的方程式指出,当比太阳大几倍的一颗星星消耗尽其核燃料并瓦解时,它的物质在巨大力量的作用下向中心挤压在一起,从而形成一个奇点,一个没有维度而具有无限密度和
