Well, that sucks. It's amazing he made it as far as he did, given that his disease (ALS) usually kills people within two years of diagnosis.Vosoryx - 13-3-2018 at 20:33
How sad... the human race has lost a brilliant mind. woelen - 13-3-2018 at 23:55
This indeed is sad news.
On the other hand, after he was diagnosed having ALS, he lived for a very long time. He left humanity a lot of things to think about and developed
science further quite a lot.LearnedAmateur - 14-3-2018 at 02:06
Rest in peace Hawking.
Did anybody realise that it also coincides with Einstein’s birthday?Rosco Bodine - 14-3-2018 at 16:23

Yes, I noticed that coincidence.

I just stopped my car to commute with a co-worker. Turning off the radio and they said his name... Turned it back on to hear what I had assumed had
happened, to be true. Not really the best way to start a work day, but it provided fruit for thought while busy. Took a moment here and there to
imagine what it might have been like understanding a fraction of what he did.
If you could really even say I'm reading a book that wasn't reference material, it is a brief history of time. Every once in a while I read a few
pages, in a slow but faithfully consecutive order. ~1/4 through it which is kinda sad, it's not a big book. Not that I'm busy working or studying
for class; just find textbooks to be great leisure reading.
He will be missed, hopefully sparking the interest of the next great mind somewhere out there. One can only hope our understanding may one day, set
us free enough there is no need for war, j_sum1 - 14-3-2018 at 21:53
We have not just lost a great scientist and one of the world's great thinkers, we have lost a science icon and a fantastic communicator. As such, he
has been an inspiration to many thousands. We lose a whole lot when an influential role model in the scientific comunity passes on.vmelkon - 22-3-2018 at 05:55
It sucks. Every big name is getting old and dying. Even Bill Nye looks quite a bit old compared to when I see him in Bill Nye The Science guy. Then
there is Neil Degrass Tyson. Richard Dawkins. They have been in the public eye for so long, that you see them age, the same as your family members.
A lot of big name singers that I liked died one after the other : Robert Palmer, Michael Jackson, Witney Houston, Rick James.
