Well said. I can't let this pass without adding my respect and admiration for this incredible man, and yes, I have read "A Brief History of Time".
I was lucky enough to meet the great man years ago. I was shocked that I found it hard to see through the disability, even though I knew what a great man he was. It really made me confront how I viewed disabled people, I hadn’t realised at that time that I was subconsciously thinking of disabled people in a negative way. It isn’t easy to find out that you have been unaware of your prejudice. Life changing for my attitudes, and I am sure that was true for many others that he interacted with.
RIP.
RIP.

an incredible man. RIP
He got so many people into science.
Once he queried as to why are we trying so hard to communicate with aliens.Making the point that maybe we shouldn't be making them aware we exist and where we are in case they decide to take us over. We can't assume they will come in peace. Great point which I agree with.

RIP Prof...i guess one consolation in that he died peacefully .....some warm comments on this thread
I'm really quite upset to hear of this, probably more than I'd expect to be. He was an inspiration to so many and also a man of principle - he declined a knighthood over the government's handling of science funding. You'll always be a "Sir" to me, Mr Hawking, and may you rest in peace.

Ironically, today is Pi Day. 3.14. He was a remarkable physicist.
Genuinely roared out loud, brilliant!
Stephen Hawkins was a man to be admired in so many ways, God rest you Sir.

I think thats the greatest compliment that can be paid to him - he was such an authority, but remarkably humble.
RIP Prof, you've made such a difference to everyone.

Can you imagine him now, up there, talking with Galileo, Newton & Einstein - he's in another world.
Totally awesome and inspirational human being, showing what can still be achieved despite the [massive] challenges of physical disability.
RIP Great Man ....
