霍金：每天想的最多的是女人

 　　本月8号，伟大的物理学家史蒂芬·霍金将迎来他70岁寿辰，为此他接受了《新科学家》杂志的采访，当被问到白天思考的最多的是什么时，霍金教授语出惊人：“是女人，女人完全是个谜。”

　　史蒂芬·霍金，本世纪最著名的物理学家，他的量子宇宙学说改变了人类对宇宙的理解。然而这样一位物理学天才却透露，他和许多男人一样，经常会花很多时间去思考女人，并说很多时候女人真的让人百思不得其解。

　　The biggest mystery in the universe perplexing one of the world's best known scientists is -- women.

　　When New Scientist magazine asked "Brief History of Time" author Stephen Hawking¹ what he thinks about most, the Cambridge University professor renowned² for unraveling some of the most complex questions in modern physics answered: "Women. They are a complete mystery."

　　The wheelchair-bound Hawking, who only recently retired³ from a post once held by Isaac Newton, talked to the magazine in the run-up to celebrations for his 70th birthday about his biggest scientific blunder and his hopes for modern science.

　　Hawking is due to celebrate his 70th birthday on Sunday with a public symposium⁴ entitled "The State of the Universe" at the University of Cambridge's Centre for Theoretical Cosmology.

　　Hawking heads a list of speakers including British Astronomer⁵ Royal Martin Rees, Nobel Prize-winning physicist⁶ Saul Perlmutter and Kip Thorne, one of the world's leading theoretical physicists⁷.
