A great Physicist - I've been pushing this with the students today - in the hope that his drive and ambition will spur them on!

what a legend.   What a time it was to be a physics/astronomy undergrad student in the late 80's when his book hit like a bombshell.. required reading. However his impact goes even further.. was talking with my little bro' today who I have nearly 2 decades on.. and never finished high school...and even he was fully aware of the scope and magnitude of Hawking as well as the life he lived.

we will likely never see.. nor our children.. perhaps even their children.. ever see a pure scientist made such inroads into our day to day lives not from a practical standpoint.. for yes that might happen.. bot from a purely intelletual one.

RIP Stephen.. I didn't want to become a astrophysicist because of you..  I give the credit to Assimov.. but damn.. you made it so easy to get pussy for those who tried to follow in your footsteps and could knowledgeaby talk and discuss the things you brought up to the fairer sex.

He was a rock star without being a  rock star. An amazing person, scientist, philospher, astronomer and a good sport. He will be missed. RIP Stephen Hawking.

Yes, because we all know nobody gets "pussy" like those who talk about astrophysics. Confused I'd say there's actually no better way to repel a woman than to bring up anything science related unless of course she's already a scientist. ;) I mean no disrespect to SH or any physicist here astrophysics or otherwise but please let's be real here. :P
