Mind over matter I guess :) It’s amazing he survived that long after getting ALS in his early 20’s.

The fact he lived with ALS for so long, after the doctors gave him only 2 more years, was astonishing.

I wonder what Professor Hawking's wishes were for his remains after he passed.
It might sound morbid but as he was an atheist and a scientist, I wonder if he gave permission for study.
(I would never inquire ofcourse, i have too much respect for the man and his work and his family).

I just hope ALS will one day be a thing of the past, it's a horrible affliction.

Definitely saddened to hear about his passing considering he was one of my biggest inspirations growing up. He proved his doctors wrong and kept pushing past his affliction to become one of the leading scientists in his field by discovering the true nature behind Black Holes, among many other accomplishments. Pretty jaw-dropping!

Just wish he had a little more time to realize his dream of going up into space though!
