He had a wicked sense of humour. ^^^ That's a great example. Brian Cox said when they were making that (for the Monty Python reunion, I think?), SH improvised the "pedant" line, which was the funniest part. Improvising, when your only method of communication is muscle twitch word building...

I can't even begin to understand a lot of his professional work (and I have a First in mathematics), but what a mind. Incredible scientific legacy.

A genius with a great sense of humour, a passionate defender of the NHS, and an ardent opponent of Brexit.

We need more people like him.

There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either,” Hawking said. “We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.”

Professor Stephen Hawking

A great humanist

Helped millions to take interest in science and showed the world being disable doesn't mean you can't do extraordinary things and have an extraordinary life.

Love his work in The Simpsons too

But unlike Newton and Kepler, Hawking didn't cast horoscopes AFAIK.

A man who grappled successfully with the "nothingness" that preceded an unbridled universe. Thank you, Stephen Hawking!

From one scientist to another, RIP. Go and find the bigger answers now.

He would have been a damn good 6-2, 200-pound Litster

Coincidence? I think not
Perfect day for him to pass.
He was an amazing human being

One of his most impressive achievements....
