Displaced Texan 11,748 Posted March 14, 2018 Stephen Hawking, dead at 76: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/03/14/stephen-hawking-famed-physicist-dead-at-76.html While I disagreed with his politics, he was an amazingly intelligent man who made vast contributions to the scientific community, and mankind.

remixer 1,645 Posted March 14, 2018 Based on some of his political speech i would debate that his mind was intact. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob0115 1,105 Posted March 14, 2018 Amazing that he survived with that disease for so long. His contributions are among the greatest in his field. I really enjoyed reading his works. Hawking did a recent interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson where he discussed what happened prior to the Big Bang. His simple answer was there was nothing. No space or time—which we now know are linked as space-time. He explained it elegantly in lay terms but the basic message was nothing existed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
