[Kruel J]

He was a genius, and I was fascinated by some of his concepts.

Was just about to post on this. Agreed, he was a genius, and contributed greatly to the field of cosmology, and related. We've lost one of the finest minds of our time. And, I have to admire that he was was one tough hombre in overcoming his physical impairments to continue his outstanding work. RIP, Dr. Hawking. You will be missed.

Let's not forget he was a stickman too, impairments or not.

His thoughts on AI line up with mine 100%.

He was an amazing individual...and yet I can't think of him without thinking about his card game with Data on ST:TNG. May he rest in peace.

I think Data was a reasonable facsimile of Mr. Hawking.

Now he knows for sure.

Whoa?!!??
No way I thought somehow that guy would live forever.

True genius beyond comprehension.

Yeah, I don't generally post RIP threads but it was the same reaction for me.

*Warning Nerdliness Ahead*

Hawking passed away in Cambridge, UK therefore it is already the 14th. March 14th was Albert Einstein's birthday.

In all seriousness, that is a weird, and interesting coincidence. And, what can I say, I like big brains, and I cannot lie.

You know you've influenced the entire world when they make an RC replica of you!

 

[Hooknbullet]

He certainly outlived his diagnoses by a few decades!
He is at peace, but we're short one brilliant mind.
A sad day..

Hope he's jogging around and chatting up a storm...

Will "The Big Bang Theory" ever be the same?

R.I.P. Stephen Hawking

Aloha, Mark

He predicted end of the world stuff. A lot. And here we are.

My daughter had just finished reading my copy A Brief History of Time. How and why black holes evaporate over time is a mind-numbing thought. ETA: It's also named after him: Hawking Radiation

A truly out of the box thinker and an awesome sense of humor to boot.

He had a lifetime of pondering the big questions, getting other people to better understand the big questions, and struggling to discern the answers. Well, today he now knows the answers to his big questions. If you have any desire to know what he experienced, read Romans 14:11. Someday we'll all discover how that turned out.

Either way, Hawking is finally free of his prison of a body!!

RIP Stephen Hawking, a truly brilliant man. I definitely had disagreements with some of his views of the world and our meaning, but it didn't lessen my respect for the amazing mind he possessed. Like others, I also enjoyed his humor and his appearances in shows like Star Trek TNG and the Big Bang Theory. Also enjoyed the movie about his life. And living to the age he did with ALS is such an amazing thing.

As others have said, he certainly knows the truth now, I hope he found what he was looking for and is at peace.

I never forgave him for his academic boycott of Israel, which was hypocritical since it was an Intel office in Israel that developed much of the technology that allowed him to speak.
