Stephen Hawking: a brilliant mind transcending the prison of his body first and foremost.
Stephen Hawking: a complex personality. The severe disability brought on by ALS must have affected his sense of self and his relationships. The same can probably be said of his scientific and professional achievements. Such contrast within a human cannot but contribute to interpersonal and interpersonal conflicts, to the coexistence of terror and faith, vulnerability and strength, despair and joy, dejection and enthusiasm.
All in all, despite his inevitable human foibles and because of his triumphs, Stephen Hawking will and should remain an inspiration to us all.
If he already inhabited the stars while he was alive, and they inhabited him, now he has truly gone home to them.
