At an amazing age of 76.

I used to think I was smarter than a 5th grader...but Jeff Foxworthy ruined that dream.I feel like I’m a smart person compared to most but these Astro physicists make me feel really stupid.
It shouldn't. So they're smart about the one thing that they've spent their whole lives working on - that's to be expected. Doesn't at all mean that they're smart about anything else, or that they're at all socially capable. There are likely a lot of topics where you know far more than the Hawkings and the Neil Degrasse-Tysons of the world.I feel like I’m a smart person compared to most but these Astro physicists make me feel really stupid.
Don't feel too bad, once they start talking about Quantum Mechanics, they make themselves feel really stupid too. No one understands Quantum Mechanics.I feel like I’m a smart person compared to most but these Astro physicists make me feel really stupid.
Just like everyone else who passes he now knows who was right....
That's assuming that the answer to the question concerning life is binary, and that there isn't still an "I don't know" after we die.
An he died on National Pi Day. Fitting.
An "I don't know" would imply a state of being after death, right?
His book on anti-gravity was so good I couldn't put it down...I know he was a smart dude but can someone summarize his important “discoveries” in a way someone like me can understand? I’m feeling bad about myself that this isn’t a bigger deal to me.
I'm not sure I follow. And truthfully I'm not trying to start a religious or teleological discussion or debate. But it seems to me there are 3 (perhaps really 2) possibilities:Just like everyone else who passes he now knows who was right....
I find the fact that he was one of the smartest human beings to ever walk the earth coupled with being what Doctors now consider the longest living survivor of ALS fascinating as hell. The disease kills most within 2-3 years and almost everyone by 5 years. There is medical evidence those diagnosed younger like he was can sometimes fight it off....for 10 years. But he lived 55 years with it. To me, the high genius level of his brain and his record survival almost have to be linked. It was like his brain was operating at such a high level, he refused to die.

"However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope."
- Stephen Hawking, 2006
"Black holes ain't as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. Things can get out of a black hole, both to the outside, and possibly, to another universe. So, if you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out."
- Stephen Hawking, 2008
The man was a fighter.
Except for what's on youp*rn.com, yes.Isn't everything we "know" about black holes theoretical?
Trying to identify with the every man.Wait, he used the word ain't????? Surely one as smart as he would never use that word.
Also Einstein's birthday iirc.An he died on National Pi Day. Fitting.
"The Theory of Everything" was actually a really good movie.
I have to wonder if they glossed over some of the drama in his personal life though. Could he actually have switched from one wife to another that smoothly? Been a while since I've seen it of course, but that stood out to me at the time.I was surprised also
