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 ,     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 "    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     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,     4    escape their gravity. Time comes to a stop     5    it gets closer.

Roger Pen-rose proved that the formation of black holes was possible. His work       6    (base) heavily on Einstein's general theory of relativity. British astronomer Martin Rees noted it was   Pen-rose's work     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     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

    9    . A third picture led Genze and Ghez to think they had discovered it. Andrea Ghez is the fourth woman     10    (award) the Nobel Prize for physics. The others were Marie Curie in 1903, Marie Goeppert-Mayer in 1963, and Donna Strickland in 2018.

Heard of the “metaverse (元宇宙)” lately? It has been hard not to.

Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg mentioned tech’s latest word 16 times on his company’s most recent meeting last month. Subsequently, Facebook     1     (rename) Meta. The future of Facebook, he said, is a metaverse — a virtual environment     2     you can be physically present to hang out, play games, work and create.

A virtual world,     3     (feature) digital objects and economies, is a world in which technology is all encompassing (包罗万象的,无所不包的) and not     4     (simple) a independent tool. So naturally, the world’s largest technology companies want to play     5     leading role. Facebook sells virtual reality headsets, while Microsoft sells reality devices     6     (design) for business use. Apple Inc. is widely reported to be working on AR devices of its own.

But a world through VR has plenty of     7     (drawback). For many, the experience can be hot, sweaty, and even uncomfortable. And much like social media     8     (it), whether it is physically safe is still hotly debated.

Mostly, though, a virtual world hands even more power     9     technology giants that many argue have already accumulated too much. Big tech can probably build the metaverse. But consumers     10     (think) hard about whether they want to be there.

There have been important advances in cloning in the last several decades, leading to the    3    (success)cloning of various animals. So far, however, there    4    (be)no human clones.

In large part, cloning has been    5    victim of pop culture to the degree that the general public has grand notions of what it will be like. There is no    6    (possible)of cloning a grown version of ourselves in a matter of hours or days(like you see in the movies).

    7    (general), we already have the tools to make cloning happen today; we just have some moral problems     8    (overcome)before the world won't raise major alarms at scientists cloning someone. That leaves the question     9    us then, the general public, do you think cloning is okay? Would you clone a lost loved one to bring them back, or if you found yourself unable to have kids, would you clone yourself? These are the questions we must answer first before we succeed in    10    (create) human clones.
