Danakar Endeel Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 While reaching a very respectable age (especially considering his medical condition) I'm still going to miss the guy. In my opinion he was one of the greatest minds of this century and his departure sure leaves very large shoes to fill.

LtAttack Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The Physicist in me cried today when i saw this news. The guy contributed a lot to the science community and will surely be missed by all. Fun facts to lighten the mood, He died on Pi Day 3/14, which also ironically was Einsteins birthday, who also lived to be 76.

Fizzlefuse Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I immediately felt really sad when I learned of his passing. He was an inspiration, one of the most brilliant minds in human history and a testament to the human spirit. All I know that now I’ll be re-reading one of his books I own. He will never be forgotten.

Booster Terrik Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Mind over matter I guess It’s amazing he survived that long after getting ALS in his early 20’s. Gremlich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

SpectreSC Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
