Superlatives just aren't enough to do justice to the genius of the man!

I certainly agree - he had a very rare gift....an insight to the unknown.

Good Luck

 I guess spelling his name correctly would be a good start (Hawking)

I agree with the sentiment of the thread, a loss to the world

Wonder if any forum members have read his book "A Brief History Of Time" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Brief_History_of_Time I tried, certainly beyond me.

I also have a copy of "A Briefer History Of Time" unread, time to dust it off and try again.confuse

RIP Stephen Hawking

Apart from his intellectual capacity, which is obviously much greater than my own

This man must be applauded for his sheer willpower, to carry on, with his disabilities

I believe that I read somewhere, that he said, although he was trapped in his body, his mind was still free
