There are not many living people that I revere, he's one. I know we've had him for much longer than we should have, given his condition, but it will be a sad day indeed when the world loses this great man.

He's one of the greatest thinkers in the past couple of centuries; I'm glad we've had the benefit of his insights for as long as we have.
Holsing him in the light, too.

Morning Jack
Thanks lil
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, please keep Stephen and his family in your thoughts and prayers, 
Today is Andrew's first day back at school and as I'm at the dentist tomorrow I'm doing everything I normally do on a Wednesday today (lil) so I may not be in. I'll text you when I'm home, OK?

Hi Christiane, I've never met Stephen I just feel like I know him because he's been a part of my life for such a long time
Good news everyone, I've checked the BBC News page now and his condition has improved, and he's "comfortable"

Gnomon - time to move on Posted Apr 21, 2009
Yes, I've known about the work of Stephen Hawking for a long, long time. I remember in about 1976 when he and Roger Penrose published an article in Scientific American in which they showed that black holes aren't really black, they're very, very dark grey.

Both he and Feynman have/had that rare ability to communicate what they're up to to the rest of us.
Plus he was on the Simpsons - which is quite sungular
