His great mind will be truly missed,
but his legacy will live forever.

Very sad, he was really an exceptional man. I think that science has made a breakthrough thanks to him.

"We are here together, and we need to live together with tolerance and respect. We must become global citizens. Our only boundaries are the way we see ourselves. The only borders, the way we see each other.

Let us fight for every woman and every man to have the opportunity to live healthy, secure lives, full of opportunity and love. We are all time-travellers, journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Be brave, be determined, overcome the odds. It can be done."

Yes; saw this right before I hit the sack last night. May you rest in peace, Stephen and hope you get the opportunity to explore places that you only were able to contemplate on while you were here.

edit:

Here's a humble tribute to the man.

He died on Albert Einstein's birthday - rather poignant

I didn't realize it's Einstein's bday. That's not weird at all!....

Wow; had no idea. Very strange coincidence for sure.
