Stephen Hawking

Today, the great physicist Stephen Hawking passed away, aged 76.
He was a truly remarkable scientist. His understandings of the universe always inspired me, and I started to think more about our world, and who we all are.
I'm glad he shared his theorys with us all, and he will surely be missed....

A Brief History of Time. So sad to see him go after such a struggle to live so long.

He had a very good innings, and at least died peacefully at home.

Sad though - he was a tremendous and determined man, who achieved so much.

Such a wonderful and incredibility smart person and has added so much to our learning of science. I feel we will be lost without his understanding of the universe. His mind is freed for his body. I always looked forward to his videos and interesting subject matter. In the back of my mind I had always hoped a cure would be found for him. RIP Stephen and thank you very much for the keen look into all subjects you guided us through. Such a sad day and so much he could have shown us. I hope there will be someone to pick up the torch and light the path he had tried to take us all on. I will miss this great man as we all will do. Good bye Sir. wc

A great man. I remember the fun I had with his appearances in "The Big Bang Theory". He showed us how to carry a burden, and still live life. A great man.

Truly one of the greatest minds of the human civilization. I have often wondered what it was like to see beyond the stars to the beginning of time from the confines of a wheelchair.
