This one hurts. Pure genius who only benefited humankind. Losing someone like this effects all of us more than we really know.
May he rest in peace.
I will be rereading my copy of "A Brief History of Time" and rewatching my favorite lectures.
"Sometimes there's a man, and he's just the man for that time and place."
EDIT: I have to add that Hawking was basically the most prominent scientific speaker against Philosophy in modern times and, although, I have obvious major issues with that, I will be forever changed by what he was generous enough to teach us.
