An extraordinary man indeed who apart from his genius had a great sense of humour - Sheldon Cooper will be devastated.

RIP Stephen Hawking.

I just heard on tv3 Professor Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo Galilei s death and passed away on the 139th anniversary of Einstein s birth. Universe in a nutshell, eh??? Rip

A sheer force of nature given 2 years to live at 21 , having seen the movie his first wife is deserving of great respect also. On a side note I imagine that Voldamort Jeremy Hunt , current Health Minister in UK may be a bit relieved as Hawkings was on him publicly for his destruction of the NHS , there was only going to be one winner there.

A true inspiration to many around the world.
It is like losing a friend, it is a very sad loss to the world.

His legacy will always live on.

Rest in Peace

I'd say RIP but I'm pretty sure, he's traveling cross the universe right now. Brilliant brilliant man x

What a massive loss for mankind.

Not his greatest achievement by any means, but I love the time traveller party he threw in 2009:
