Physicist Stephen Hawkings dies at the age of 78

[Remodeling Maidiac]

It's my birthday today, and I got this news about 15 minutes after midnight, eastern time.

It's weird to think about.

Rest in Peace, Professor Hawking. You've always been a hero of mine.

My grandmother died on my birthday. I was devastated despite being an adult. People tried to tell me it was a gift because she held on for months.

And now the only Stephen Hawking death thread is just complete garbage. Bravo.

Elite Dangerous should use his computer voice for their space station auto docking voice. They use 2001 Space Odyssey for the music.

Be a nice tribute

It's strange.

The rational part of my brain is telling me that it's meaningless nonsense, but I can't help but feel weird and upset about it anyway.

The OP's title doesn't even get his age right. How in the world is this anti-Stephen Hawking thread the only one that's being allowed on this forum about his death?

At the age of 21 he was told he had a problem killed 80% of people with that disease within 5 years.

But they didn't stop there. They told him he'd be dead within two years.

Straight out of a Terry Pratchett novel, he told death to go fuck himself. Goooooooo Stevo.

A truly astonishing mind, right up there with Einstein and Galileo.
He transformed cosmology, and gave us a better understanding of the origin of everything.
"If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.'
I stand in awe!

Class is not a requirement to post on this board. We see it with every death be it left or right. There are times in life when even a wise partisan can rise above the fold.

The world has lost a brilliant mind. RIP Professor Hawking.

He died on Pi day. That's appropriate.

He was one of the Greatest People in the World ...
Not only for Science, but for all mankind.
This Mankind has errors, stereotypes and stupidity.
Stephen proved that he is one of the best!

One of the greatest minds of all kind just left us. This isn't a tragedy for his family. It's a tragedy for mankind.
