RIP, indeed. Amazing man. How sad.
A Grief History of Time.
There goes a legendary brain, in a body that wouldn't accept no for an answer.
Was given 2 years in 1964 ....what a legacy he leaves..
An amazing man with an amazing mind. A sad loss to the world.
//...has come to be thought of as one of the greatest minds in physics since Albert Einstein. In his own words: “My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all”.//

Traditional dichotomy; what's the common currency of the "hows" and the "whys"?

What a loss for humanity.
RIP

Science is certainly competent to explore (and answer) the "why?" in the "by what mechanism...?" sense, but the "complete understanding...why it exists at all" is possibly, if not necessarily, outside the purview of science.



Possibly, ventusti. It might all just be a big accident, but while it's here we might as well make the best of it.

Have you read any of his books? I bought one for my dad and had a quick look through it. I might borrow it back and have a proper read.
And on Pi Day, and the anniversary of Einstein's birth. Perfect!
RIP Stephen, your contributions to life and science were immense.
Fantastic physisist
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge”.

A priceless legacy.
RIP Stephen. One of the greatest minds that ever lived.
-- answer removed --
There's little doubt that I am where I am today because of Hawking. His book, The Universe in a Nutshell, was what inspired me finally to study physics and maths as a career.

I wish I had taken my chances to tell him so. He will be missed.
What a shock! He almost seemed, indestructible. RIP.
What an incredible man! A strong mind. A beautiful mind.
RIP Stephen.
A great star no longer lights the way...R.I.P. Stephen Hawking
Such a 'wheely' sad day.

RIP
