福克斯新闻 剑桥大学网站公开关于宇宙的论文

Professor Stephen Hawking¹'s 1966 thesis² on 'Properties of Expanding Universes' went up on the University of Cambridge's website early Monday.

Physics fans were so excited, tens of thousands rushed to download it, causing the site to crash. Hawking's doctoral thesis was already the most requested item in the university's library. Previously³ folks had to pay about $86 to scan⁴ a copy.

The 75-year-old professor said he hoped folks would not be "disappointed." And said he hoped making it available to all would "inspire people around the world to look up at the stars and not down at their feet; to wonder about our place in the universe and to try and make sense of the cosmos⁵."

周一早上，Stephen Hawking教授1966年关于“宇宙不断扩张的特性”这篇论文登上剑桥大学的网站。

物理学迷们非常激动，数万人争相下载，导致网站一度瘫痪。Hawking的博士论文已经是这家大学图书馆要求借阅次数最多的文献。此前，学生们必须支付86美元才能扫描复印件。

这位75岁高龄的教授表示，他希望学生们不会感到失望。他还说，希望所有人都能阅读到这篇论文，鼓励全世界的人们仰望星空，而不是俯视脚下的泥土。希望人们想象宇宙广袤的天地，弄清楚关于宇宙的知识。
