Three scientists have won the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics for their discoveries related to massive objects called black holes.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Science said Tuesday it would give half of the $ 1.1 million prize to Roger Pen-rose of Britain's University of Oxford , 【小题1】(add) that he had used mathematics to prove that black holes were a direct result of "Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity."
Germany's Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez of the United States will share the other half of the physics prize. The academy honored the two scientists "【小题2】the discovery of a super-massive compact object at the center of our galaxy." That object was a large black hole. The physics prize celebrates 【小题3】the Nobel Committee called "one of the most exotic objects in the universe."
Galaxies are huge systems that contain billions of stars. Black holes might exist at the center of every galaxy. Nothing, not even light, 【小题4】escape their gravity. Time comes to a stop 【小题5】it gets closer.
Roger Pen-rose proved that the formation of black holes was possible. His work 【小题6】(base) heavily on Einstein's general theory of relativity. British astronomer Martin Rees noted it was Pen-rose's work 【小题7】fueled a "renaissance" in the study of relativity. He added, Pen-rose, together with Setphen Hawking, helped support evidence for the Big Bang and black holes. "Pen-rose and Hawking are the two Individuals 【小题8】have done more than anyone else since Einstein to deepen our knowledge of gravity," Rees said.
The first picture Genzel and Ghez got of the object was in 1995. A year later, another picture appeared to show that the stars near the center of the Milky Way were moving around
【小题9】. A third picture led Genze and Ghez to think they had discovered it. Andrea Ghez is the fourth woman 【小题10】(award) the Nobel Prize for physics. The others were Marie Curie in 1903, Marie Goeppert-Mayer in 1963, and Donna Strickland in 2018.
