Rest In Peace, Stephen Hawking..

Gonna watch The Theory Of Everything again and appreciate all the wonderful things he's done for this world. Brilliant man, outlived what the doctors told him he had left in this world by 50 years..

Childhood idol growing up. Wanted to meet the fellow. I literally just got back from LA to SD and I get this as the news.

Not going to be a fun day. I agree, he defied the odds and showed us his brilliance. RIP.

No pain no game.
 

Incredible that Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo Galilei's death and passed away on Albert Einstein's birthday anniversary. Life comes full circle.

Life is too short to be on WSO. But here I am.
 

This man achieved more in a wheelchair in one lifetime than generations of people achieve throughout their healthy and pointless lives. A true badass who said fuck you to death and lived like a champ untill the end. Definitely one of my top 10 heroes. RIP.

 

Placeat nam qui id voluptas quas quasi. Quia corporis dolorum hic temporibus recusandae. Esse beatae aspernatur dolorem quia. Accusantium aut id explicabo dicta est.
