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.

Considering the thought of some in the fields of quantum theory and nuclear physics even our bodies are more ethereal than real.
The brain may stop working but it doesn't in anyway mean your state of awareness dies with it. Something along the lines of just because you smash the radio reciever (brain) doesn't in anyway affect the radio waves (consciousness).

But alas only Mr. Hawkings know the truth of the matter.
