Stephen William Hawking - World's foremost theoretical physicist, cosmologist, husband, father to 3 children, human being.

Afflicted with severe amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the disease did nothing to slow his mind. Although strapped to a wheelchair, he saw more and he saw further than most humans. 

Hawkings brought us deeper understanding about our universe and our place in it. He found meaning where there was void. He saw creation where there was destruction.

Rest in peace, Stephen Hawking. Without you the human race will have to look elsewhere for a guiding light into the cosmos, but your legacy will forever be etched in the night sky when the stars shine the brightest.

Rest in peace. He is a great guy.

with a great mind, too.

Wow, I was shocked when I heard it :O

RIP Stephen Hawking~

Yes, it was so sudden.

Brightest mind and undoubtedly the most famous scientist of our time. He will be sorely missed but his contribution on his respective field will never be forgotten. His legacy will live on forever....

Indeed, we have much to thank him for expanding our understanding about our world. His legacy will be the hopeful advancement of the human race into space and beyond.

Space and beyond.. sounds like an adventure to me:)

Rest in peace. I didn't even know that he passed away until I came across this post. Shocking news. :(

Yea it came as a shock to me as well when someone mention in one of my Whatsapp group.

Such a big loss. Thx for sharing.

yes, he left behind a big void, hopefully to be filled with future physicist of similar caliber.

I couldn't believe it when I heard about it earlier. Another great mind taken away from this earth.

He lived a full life, time to rest and let someone else take over I guess.

Rest in peace. Found this out when @tadstrange broke the news in our Discord TKSS...

Yea I saw him post about in in Team Malaysia Discord server. I am a silent reader there :P

Many silent readers in the group... :D

I was really sad to see this when I got in to work this morning. He truly was a visionary and his influence will be greatly missed. Hopefully someone will be able to step up and fill the vacuum.

Those are big shoes to fill.

But I believe the field of theoretical physics and cosmology has plenty of geniuses who will continue to expand upon his work and take it to further heights.

It's a shame to see this morning. There is a lot to take from a story like his and I feel as though the world won't quite be the same without this man.
Hopefully, we can look forward to somebody else paving the way to a better understanding, time will tell.

Thank you for the post and the update. RIP SH

Amen to that.

He was a great mind and an inspiring person. He will be missed.

Yes indeed he will be sorely missed.

May he rest in peace. He left a legacy.

I learned more about him in the movie The Theory of Everything. His love and life in how he became one of the greatest minds in history. He will be missed.

His story is something we can all draw some inspiration from.

We will surely miss this man @dxn. It pains me to see such brAin drain away

Yes, it's a sad day for all.
