Most of the time I only wish I could understand Hawking's theories. This is my favorite quote of his. RIP

The butt of many jokes. Madness.

excellent performance for a 3rd dimensional man with a far better than average 3rd dimensional perspective !
We don't even know if there's life out there. There might be billions of other human-populated planets. Or none. We don't have a clue
Well one things for sure , he has found out through death " The Truth " that we are all yet to discover for ourselves eventually .
A great mind. Also it shows that sometimes the mind has control over the body. He lived to be 76 years old. Yet he was told by doctors that he would not live to finish his education with his disease. He was the greatest theoretical physicist of our time.
True that there are few who can really understand his contribution to mankinds knwledge.
"don't attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence"
Stephen Hawking was certainly a great physicist probably the greatest since Richard Feinman.
What an example to us all , even had he never done science to survive and be a great physicist
Yesterday I dribbled here opened a couple of Leos , tooted a clarinet and did a bike ride, hardly noteworthy and I have full use of my ltd faculties.
Don't wish to Bohr think he'll be remebered like Gale, Avicenna, CopernicusNewton Liebniz, Einstein,Schroedinger and Hoyle as person who changed our view of reality .
Of course theory will evolve but Hawking will always be fondly recalled.
I saw a tv show with UK piss taker Jimmy Carr who'd written a spoof letter and the great reply he got from Hawking.
Here's the link which gives you the measure of his humanity.
Stephen Hawking was also a funny man
Yet we may be in the bottom 1% of intelligent life forms in the universe. Like us, ants are the cleverest thing they know. Like us, they have no knowledge of more intelligent life forms.
I used to torture ants when I was a kid.
I did the basic stuff like magnifying glasses but I also employed more cruel methods which included using a verruca acid dropper to drop verruca acid on them. It would dry almost instantly into a white powdery crystal and the ant would be trapped waving its little front legs (arms?) at me as I then brought the smoking magnifying glass focus spot slowly towards the ant...
So ants are not cleverest thing that ants know about because ants know about me.
I remember Ricky Gervais accusing hawkings of being pretentious for speaking in an American accent when he came from Essex

I would hope that black holes die with him but they won't. He managed to prove the theory of their existence but I doubt it will have much significance for another couple of centuries or so.
I doubt I'll read any of his books or theories, way over my head with little attempt at communicating to the likes of me.
