Stephen Hawking dead at 76

[DRAGONBALLVINTAGE]

From BBC.com

I'm not a atheist....

The Briton was known for his groundbreaking work with black holes and relativity, and was the author of several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.

His children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, said: "We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.

"He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years."

They praised his "courage and persistence" and said his "brilliance and humour" inspired people across the world.

"He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever," they said.

I didn't even realize he was 76. I don't have much to say about the guy because he used a lot of words that I don't understand, but he was brilliant

I'm not seeing anything on Google or other major sites.

Edit: I somehow misread his name, long day

And now he's gone

can't miss it

His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake. But it's not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating the fabric of spacetime that defies measure. Stephen Hawking, RIP 1942-2018. pic.twitter.com/nAanMySqkt

Crap, I don't know how I missed it. Sorry

Aww RIP. His accomplishments and work will live on.

 

[8BitWonder]

Damn, that really sucks. I don't really know what else to say.

Edit: His work in the physics department was truly incredible, and his legacy will certainly live on long after he did. He'll surely be remembered not only as a mathematical genius, but as an inspiration to many others as well.

Awwww man! This is sad news! Honestly, he lived a helluva lot longer than most people with ALS do and I found myself surprised many times over the year that he kept going.

 

[Ghost]

Rest in peace to this great man. Such a remarkable person.

RIP..... the best person in the world....

 

[dpad_5678]

RIP. He was an extremely insightful man. It couldn't have been Trump? Fooey.

 

[VinsCool]

Rest in peace, Mr. Hawking

I always thought he was overrated, but sad news nonetheless.
