Very sad to hear. He should have given himself a chance for a second life via cryonics.
Sad news indeed. Rest in peace. Who'll pick up the mantle? Einstein > Hawking ->.. ? It's always nice to have a proper science icon.
fixed that for you . I don't think even Stephen put himself in his category, but as a celebrity, the media often did. As I understand it, Black Holes were one of the many, many theories that Albert postulated, and Hawking was one of the people that proved that they were real and he expounded on it postulating on the so called "event horizon".
Larry Flynt will be missed and was one of the greatest minds of our time. RIP
