I read his "A Brief History of Time". Good book that broke down the universe into understandable parts for my tiny lizard brain.

"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first."

"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

That sucks. A brief history of time was a really good book for making physics interesting for a dumbass like me. Maybe now sitcoms can retire Stephen Hawking "cameos" where they use a robot voice to imitate him, literally taking advantage of his disability making it easier to impersonate and put words in his mouth.

It may well have been that his physical difficulties led him to develop his amazing mind. I had lunch with Kip Thorne a few weeks ago, and he said as much.

Why would being disabled make you smart lol. He was smart because he was born a genius.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Hey everyone, I just want to point out that The Big Bang Theory will undoubtedly do an episode about this and for months people will talk about Sheldon's reaction to losing a friend and mentor. Remember that because that episode will be more well known than any of Hawking's theories.

You're welcome!
