He died peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said.

Quite good. Not in the same league as Newton but he was climbing the right sort of ladder. No Newton, no modern world. No Hawking, a void waiting to be filled. :read:

He had a pretty spectacular innings, all things considered

To be honest I always thought his support act might be cold reading him and then, being well educated in the arts of fizics, putting their own ideas on paper? This keeps me awake at night.

When we die, we are truly gone as individuals. However, for some, the imprint that they leave on the collective human endeavour of making sense of the universe is massive, and is more real than any wishful thinking about eternal life in a fairy tale heaven...

How many people do you think existed inside Hawking's body? :think:

A sad loss. On the plus side he outlived expectations for his lifespan by close to half a century!

Elon Musk should sent him into orbit!

”A spokesman for Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences that hands out the Nobel Prizes in physics says Stephen Hawking "was a great scientist who made considerable contributions to science."

Goran Hansson says the death of 76-year-old Hawking early Wednesday "is a loss for the world of science." He declined to comment on whether Hawking should have been awarded the prestigious prize, in line with the Nobel policy.”
