    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'.

    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.
    Paul.

    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)!
