Dude was brilliant, but did he get some undue credit from his illness etc? Read a while ago some of his big claims were simultaneously done by others but they didn't want to be dicks to the dying cripple.
Either way, epic life and contributions (I think).
Oh well. I'm sure I'll catch some shit here for this, but what did he actually contribute to the world. Theoretical studies on black holes doesn't help 99.9% of the problems out there.

bummed about this one. My dad gave me back my copy of "A Brief History of Time" during Christmas (I forgot he even had it from a decade back) and just by chance I've been rereading it since. I wish we celebrated minds like his the way they deserve everyday, but we don't. A brilliant mind and able to convey immense concepts so even a mongo like me could understand it.
