Stephen Hawking, modern cosmology's brightest star, dies aged 76

The physicist and author of A Brief History of Time has died, a family member has said

Stephen Hawking, the brightest star in the firmament of science, whose insights shaped modern cosmology and inspired global audiences in the millions, has died aged 76.

His family released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning confirming his death.

Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.

“He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years.

“His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world.

“He once said, ‘It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.’ We will miss him for ever.”

It's shocking that this great man is gone. He handled his disabilities and we got used to seeing him in the wheelchair with the computer voice. Did pretty well to make it to 76.

One of the best minds on the planet has left us. R.I.P. Mr. Hawking.

I had no idea he was that old. I guess if it's possible I thought he looked younger than that. The handicap really makes it hard to determine age.

That sucks though. That's a huge voice of reason that's now gone. Someone put a bubble around Neil Degrass Tyson.

He was one of the great ones warning is of the advancements of AI. The machines may have plotted his death. We need to keep an eye on Musk now. RIP Hawking.

I remember reading about him and how doctors predicted that he wouldn't live more than a few years after getting his disease.

Well, they were obviously wrong since he lived until 76. That's a pretty good run!

This is really sad. Such a shame that he is no longer with us to share his brilliance that we are so not worthy of. I love that he had such a great sense of humor to allow his character and likeness into our lives on an entertaining level too.

Don’t get me wrong I admire Hawking to no end, the man was a true genius but some of these are just too funny. Best one I’ve seen is on YouTube but my stupid ass can’t get the video to work. It’s a 3 second video titled “Stephen Hawkings last words”
