Sad day indeed 😞 Still, I find it wonderful that he was able to live so long for someone with his condition. Back in 1963 his doctors had given him only around two years to live and yet he lived for several decades after that.

I find the following quote truly beautiful and inspiring:

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.”

Thank you Prof. Hawking!
