Default Stephan Hawking dies at the age of 76
Felt morbid hearing this this morning.

Another great man gone but has left an incredible legacy and level of understanding to the world.

Defying the nature of illness from the age of 21, he's an incredible inspiration to us all and we be for many, many centuries.

Rip, a legend.

A terrible loss to the scientific community, and to humanity in general. A real example of a man who would not allow his disability to prevent him doing what he wanted to do, and proof that the mind is more powerful than the body. RIP Professor Hawking.

I saw that on the news this morning and had to do a double take. The man certainly had integrity and more character than some people have in their pinky toes. His contributions to our world are phenomenal. RIP Steve.

Rest in peace.

Everyone knew who he was even if they weren't familiar with his work.

Does she have Alzheimer's?

Thumbs up
Unreal he was told he had two years to live at 21 and lived until he was 76.

You have to admire Big Steve.

RIP to our greatest cyborg. His novels always seemed to flub the ending, but I thought that 1408 was great.
