Not a bad innings for someone who was supposed to die young. RIP.

Well done that man - for so many reasons! He did astonishingly well for someone with his condition too. The funny part is, he would have outlived the doctors who gave him his 2 year prognosis all those years ago....

And on Einstein's birthday funnily enough.

There's a great picture of him experiencing weightlessness on the 'Vomit Comet'.

Surely one of the bravest men that have ever lived.

Surely one of the bravest men that have ever lived.

Undoubtedly, but brave may not be the right word.
A man far to lateral to let emotions get in the way of a highly productive life.

A very humbling experience to hear him talk science and admit that you don't understand most, if not all of it.

RIP.

He died on Pi day. An amzing intellect. I have his book, 'A Brief History of Time.' I might finish it one day.

Very impressive man for what he accomplished - one of the most remarkable minds of modern times.
I think - he originally proved that black holes could not exist - then proved why they do!
He attributes his condition to his success because it forced him to use his mind. Read a few different books about him. One of his fellow researchers said that their could be a chalk board covered from top to bottom with mathamatical equations and he would get a phone call during the night from Prof Hawkings explaining where the mistake is - this of course was from memory.
A brief history of time is one of the best selling book - but is the book most likely not to be finished!
I was told that A brief history in time has been written twice - as the first edition was written for physcists but most physcists could not understand it!

My brothers step son actually served him beer while working at a pub in England (along with Rowan Atkinson)!

A philosopher to go with it.

Stephen Hawking shared a message to help those with depression. And it's truly beautiful. (https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/techandscience/stephen-hawking-shared-a-message-to-help-those-with-depression-and-its-truly-beautiful/ar-BBKe5xB?ocid=spartandhp)

My son is second year of Advance Sci majoring in physics. He and his mates were actually a little melancholy about it. Cheers

Rip and thankyou
