Yes a brilliant man, sadly missed.

Quote:

Obituary: Stephen Hawking

They praised his "courage and persistence" and said his "brilliance and humour" inspired people across the world.
"He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever," they said.

Brilliant mathematician in his younger years.

Cambridge University just released what now is probably Hawking's last message to people, life and the world.

He was one of the greatest minds, but always tried to explain things in an understandable way. A short history of time is still one of the must reads.
As they say, a beautiful mind. May you rest in peace.

May he rest in peace.

A truly amazing visionary gentleman.

A great man who helped further the progress of mankind. We are all indebted.

A fighter too. At something like 21 he was given 2 years to live because of the motor neuron disease. Made it to 76. And it can't have been easy living like that.

Thank you Stephen Hawking.

Hawking was not a believer, brilliant mind for many, but not for me ...

Quote:

Stephen Hawking, according to Stephen Hawking, is not in heaven or with God, neither of which he believed in.

His consciousness has not reunited with any kind of divine force behind the universe, the late theoretical physicist and cosmologist would say. If there was ever anything before the universe and its physical laws — God or otherwise — Hawking didn’t particularly care, because there was no way to study it.

Hawking, who died last week at age 76, was about as pure an atheist as they come. “I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail,” he once told the Guardian.
