His strength and courage were every bit as amazing as his intellect. He will be missed dearly. :(

Easily one of the greatest minds of our time. I'm glad I had the honor of being in existence at the time he was also living.

He was really a great figure in the history of science, as someone else put it, he was truly a living testament to the power of the human mind.

My son told me this morning when I was in bed. He had heard it in the news. Yes,  it is said to lose a great genius and a brilliant thinker in these dark times. Goodbye Mr.Hawking!

Well this is very sad. I was just listening to a Steven Hawkins lecture for the first time before coming to the forum and hearing the news. Kind of a creepy coincidence. As soon as I get interested in him he's gone. :'( I'm sure his work and memory will last for a long time though.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

This honestly seems so surreal to me. Stephen Hawking always seemed like a fixed point in the universe to me, and to learn that he's passed has saddened me greatly.

No one's ever really gone.
