One of the most intelligent & insightful human beings. We are all diminished by this loss.
The collective IQ of the planet just went down a measurable bit.
Never had the pleasure of meeting/listening to him in person (you lucky devil!) but read several of his books.
Will have to pour at least two on the ground in honor of our science homie.
As frail as his earthly shell may have been, his shoulders were those of a true giant, upon who's work and insight future generations will continue to build upon. Our view of reality is clearer thanks to this man.
