To be buried in Schrödinger's box, alive and dead.

He died on Albert Einstein's birthday and Pi day. Even going out, dude had to fuck with the odds.

Where did he live? Now explain how time zones work, you fucking dingus. Sounds like someone needs to briefly read about time. Hawkward.

Hawking died in his home in Cambridge, England

DAMNIT. Got so excited by the chance to zing Lithose that I forgot to do some basic fact checking. I feel like every article written by the Washington Post for the last two years.

Amazed that he lived as long as he did and achieved what he did considering his illness - unlike most of the plebs today who would open a fucking patreon for pitybux and wallow in self-pity on twitter.

Godspeed you crazy voiced, wheelchair bound brainbox.

In one interview, he credited his illness for his achievements; he said that if he had been able bodied and normal, he would have probably been a lazy fuck student.

Yeah he was a lazy fuck student at Oxford, he estimated that he only spent 1k hours doing his initial degree there.

Can anyone tell me what Hawking actually did for science? You know, besides basically nothing? Dudes a genius because he came up with some theories, the majority of which were never even proven to be true that even if proven to be true, have no impact on society whatsoever.

Helped make it mainstream, got lots of people interested in shit that may not have been otherwise. Kind of hard to put a hard number on a contribution like that. Hard to tell how many kids went into STEM type fields instead of SNAP.

Helped make what more popular? Useless science that doesn't contribute anything to humanity? I mean, this dude is hailed as one of the greatest geniuses of all time and yet he literally didn't contribute anything that has impacted anyone's life in any meaningful way whatsoever really. Sorry but this guy is massively overrated and credited when he didn't really actually do much of anything useful.

If you feel like that why bother posting in his RIP thread. Maybe piss off someplace else and stop shitting it up?

Shit, this makes me sad. Maybe Musk can put his casket on the next rocket so Stephen can finally have his dream of going into space. :(

Reread my post. If he got even a few kids interested in STEM, he contributed more than most people contribute to society.

Well said really the best response. He got eyeballs on the field and inspired.

I'm on a few other forums and Stephen Hawking bashing is all the rage right now so don't let me get in the way. Carry on gents.
