Professor Stephen William Hawking is no longer with us.

This is a sad day. If you don't know who this man was, you should.

I'd rather not talk about what he did for the world. I hate it when people do that "after" someone is gone. It's better to do that when they are still here.

Most of us will just feel the loss. His work is done and he's inspired many. He can now rest.

He's forever part of our history. We had plenty of opportunity to learn from him.

Some of his past quotes at this link

Rest in peace Stephen Hawking.

1942 - 2018

Sort:  

My favorite thing about Stephen Hawking is that he got people to think and reconsider their opinions on important matters.

He was courageous enough to stand firm on ideas he believed in while facing strong opposition and ridicule, while also humble enough to admit defeat on long standing theories and then help the "other side" evolve theories - all in the name of advancing towards the true nature of everything.

Sir...Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge.

A great loss to humanity and science

RIP Stephen Hawking. One of the greatest minds our world has ever known.

I hope his brain is preserved for research like Einstein's was. A big loss for the science community forsure

what is the masterpiece from steven william hawkin .. is honestly i have never heard of his name

'A Brief History of Time" is his most well known I think

ouuhh .. thanks a lot friends, for explanation

may i follow you

of course :)

Stephen Hawkings, first i heard of him was the movie, a biography of his early life "The theory of everything". He was one great physicist, the world would need a replacement :( . I doubt if there would be any, the likes of Einstein and Nikola Tesla are yet to get replacements :(

A sad era

He skyrocketed to public prominence in 1988, when he published his first general-audience book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes. The cosmology treatise has sold approximately 10 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling science books of all time.
He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years.
