[Tabascocat]

We lost a truly brilliant man tonight, Stephen died at the age of 76

Some of his work was so brilliant and will likely remain forever. Will miss him.

He beat the odds to live as long as he did. It's amazing that he kept his sense of humor. A truly inspirational man.

 

[Stash]

Sad news. The world has lost a truly great mind.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

He's left some great works behind. He will be missed.

 

[diefree666]

its arguable that he would be considered the greatest scientist since Einstein.

No more strip clubs for Stephen!

An odd coincidence that he passed away on Einstein's birthday. They will forever be intertwined.

Almost. He died on the 13th, Einstein was born on the 14th.

Almost. He died on the 13th, Einstein was born on the 14th.

Yes, there seems to be conflicting reports. Some say the early hours of the 14th, others say the early hours of the 13th. I heard about it this morning and they said the 14th.

A lot of people compare me to Einstein too

The one from Back to the Future?

This is hitting me like a ton of bricks.

One of the Greatest Minds ever, in history, ever is now gone.
He is up there with the Greats.

And he's gone. On the anniversary of my mother (4 years, today)... Thanks a lot Steve.

Sad news. The world has lost a truly great mind.

One of the top 10 in history.

RIP Hawking! May all of human kind prosper in your wake with the knowledge you have brought to this world and beyond. Hopefully you are already enjoying the next level of ascension without that pesky chair.

It is very odd indeed, Sam. Or is it not odd at all?? It all comes around full circle, doesn't it?? lol. Anyway, so sorry to hear of his loss. The first one's I thought of when I read the news of his passing were my dad, my son, and you. We lost a great one, didn't we?

Yes, he was a great one. More of a mystical fellow too given his condition and living as long as he did when the doctors said he should have been dead by 23.

It's interesting to think that if he hadn't had that condition. He could have easily taken on a completely different career path and all his insight into cosmology may have never been blessed upon us.

Kinda weird thou, Steven Hawkins died on March 14th or 3.14. That's Pi or three point one four.

Kinda weird.....

Dang, ABQ. That is truly mind blowing!! I hadn't even thought about that! You and Sam have brought up two very interesting and bizarre points about his date of death. Crazy.
