Oztalgian 3,271 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The brilliant physicist Professor Stephen Hawking has sadly passed away today aged 76. All that post on "Black Holes" on here will be deeply saddened by his passing. He was one of a few scientists that explained high level theories in a way that was understandable to us mere mortals and his book "A brief history of time" was a revelation to me and I urge that all who have any interest in physics read it. If there is a god then there are sure to be some interesting discussions tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Colly will be distraught! Can't say I agree with many of Hawking's theories but I certainly admire the way he battled a crippling and incurable physical disability, not allowing it to get in the way of his work.

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 A sad loss, whatever his views were. I never understood any of his theories, but a likeable man nevertheless. RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
