Today we received the sad message that one of the brightest minds of our age has passed away. Stephen Hawking’s contribution to science and the popularization of science are beyond question and we wish his family and friends all the courage they need to cope with their loss.
Man, this is awful news. The guy’s one of my heroes. What a brilliant life he led. We’re all the better for him.
He was and will still be an inspiration for all of us and he will be deeply missed.
