Stephen Hawking dies aged 76.

Just read that Professor Stephen Hawking has passed away,at home aged 76,a remarkable man,a very clever,and often funny man who made science a fascinating subject to all the people he lectured...some of his famous quotes are ;

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behaviour because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

How true those above quotes are.

We were blessed that he was with us so long. Amazing man.

The world was privileged to have this man in it. He has left so many lessons for us all to live by. Given a short life expectancy after a diagnosis of a debilitating illness he chose to concentrate on his abilities and to push forward regardless. Goodnight Sir!

A very GREAT loss to mankind.

Genius, humble man, who never gave up on the fight to survive.

His knowledge, and thoughts will be greatly missed by the world of science and all intellectual bodies..

RIP brave man..

A man who was not afraid to admit his mistakes - rare among those in such circles. He led physicists to question themselves as much as his theories.
