Rod S Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Brilliant individual who managed to gain notoriety beyond the sciences to become widely known and capture the public imagination. Tremendous, triumphant life and presence. I remember being in high school (late 80s) and reading "A Brief History of Time". Everyone said he would only live a few years due to his disability. Glad everyone was wrong. Hope he is enjoying a cup of tea with Carl Sagan somewhere talking about the cosmos.

Geoff Grace Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Stephen Hawking's contributions to theoretical physics were probably second only to Albert Einstein's, on whose birthday (Pi Day) Hawking passed away. (He was also born on the 300th anniversary of Galileos death.) We were all very lucky that ALS claimed Hawking so much later than predicted, but he will be sorely missed nonetheless.

David Emm Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Stephen appeared on "The Big Bang Theory" and insisted that he use his voicing computer for his lines. Attaboy!

xKnuckles Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up. Stephen Hawking "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!" Bluzeyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffreyfranz Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 One of the great minds of our time... dB Absolutely agree, Dave. I would add that his humility, sense of humor, and courage in the face of a truly ghastly illness were an inspiration to me. Go in peace, Stephen.

GRollins Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It was inevitable that he would go sometime. The years passed and the grains of sand accumulated on the other side of the scales, weighing against him. Still, he persevered. The grains kept accumulating. Still, he persevered. While I'm sure that he had down days where he felt, "what's the use?" I never heard of them; they were probably only known to those closest to him. What did come across was humility, humor, and a never-ending sense of wonder and curiosity. Intellects like his don't come along often...that we had him for as long as we did strikes me as a wonderful thing. Should I ever be stricken with a debilitating disease, I hope I remember to look to him as an example of what can be done in spite of overwhelming odds against you. Each man and each woman has to face their trials alone--no one knows what trips the balance. I don't claim to know what was in Keith Emerson's heart and mind when he took his life. I only wish that--somehow--he and Steven Hawking could have talked; that perhaps Keith could have found a different path than the one he chose. Teaching, perhaps? Composing? Comparing the two makes me glad that Steven chose to stay and sad that Keith chose to leave. To have had Steven Hawking for as long as we did and that he remained mentally active to the end makes me proud to be a human. The man was an inspiration on many levels. Grey I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
