Stephen Hawking, a disabled man with a strong will, who died on March 14, 2018, was born in Oxford, UK, in 1942. He was a world famous scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen was trying to find the answers to some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?
When he was a student at university, Stephen studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became very ill. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, "He has only two more years to live. "
The doctors were wrong. He didn't die. He couldn't walk, but he used a wheelchair. He talked with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学).
Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold about 25 million copies in about 40 different languages.
Stephen Hawking made great achievements in cosmology with his studies searching the answers to the Big Bang and Black Hole in the universe, which brought him great fame as a leading figure in the science world even though he became totally unable to move in two thirds of his whole life.
During the National Day holiday, the sky above Shenzhen was lit up by impressive drone(无人机) light shows. This"cyber fireworks" lit up the night, painting a lively picture of Shenzhen as a"City of Miracles, City of Innovation. City of Future". A total of 10197 DAMODA drones took to the sky at the same time, setting two Guinness World Records. So how does the drone light show work?
Before a drone light show begins, drones are usually put on the ground one by one and it would take a lot of time to prepare a show with more than ten thousand drones. To shorten the time, the DAMODA drone company thought of a solution. The company put groups of drones into big boxes with specific QR codes on it. By putting the boxes into correct places, thousands of drones can be ready in a short time and they can go back to their"homes" by scanning the OR codes.
In drone shows, each drone is programmed by a computer to follow its own flight direction, carefully avoiding the other drones. They communicate with neighbouring drones and use sensors(传感器) to keep a certain distance. The position and LED colours change throughout the performance to show different objects in the night sky.
Drone light shows are thought to be more environmentally friendly— and certainly cause less noise and light pollution— than fireworks shows, so lots of big events are turning to them instead of fireworks. Drones can also be reused again and again so they will probably be more popular in the future.
