i logged on to facebook and saw neil degrasse tyson post stephen hawking passed. there are world leaders, then there are intellects who shape the lives of humanity forever such as einstein, freud, and hawking. to live up to 76 with als is an extreme accomplishment in itself, but to change humanity living with als through research and monumental scientific breakthroughs is beyond me. people like him are gifts to humanity and the generations to come.
stephen hawking, you will be missed.
