"A Brief History of Time," was a formative read for me as a teen.
His matter is now just a bit more chaotic. RIP

hey there, say, WyoRockMan... just saw this...
he was able to live a long, time, with this condition...
that was amazing:
from wikipedia...
After being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, Hawking fell into a depression – though his doctors advised that he continue with his studies, he felt there was little point.[67] However, his disease progressed more slowly than doctors had predicted. Although Hawking had difficulty walking unsupported, and his speech was almost unintelligible, an initial diagnosis that he had only two years to live proved unfounded.
*learned a lot of his school years... was very interesting...

I remember him as being a very passionate unbeliever, perhaps a hater although I can't say that with certainty.
At any rate, I guess he will figure it out now.....
Never liked him, though.

The gross materialists all fall into the black hole and disappear.
The intelligent class travel thru the full range of light and can be seen forever .......

His passing makes me sad.

We all have it coming. But it's a sad day for the physics community. I bet his chair ends up in a museum.

He was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's birthday and he died on Einstein's birthday!

"All of this room for a creator and nothing for him to do."
Farewell, sir.
Edit: I always wondered why he never changed his voice.

He might have been a reincarnation of Gallileo. Because the Catholic Church persecuted him in that life, it may explain his distaste for organized religion in this one.

I always wondered why he never changed his voice.
I saw an interview with him once where that was asked. His reply was that it was simply his voice now and if he were to change it, there wouldn't be the human recognition associated with it.
Sharp wit and funny as well.
