Dead at the age of 76.

Stephen W. Hawking, the British theoretical physicist who overcame a devastating neurological disease to probe the greatest mysteries of the cosmos and become a globally celebrated symbol of the power of the human mind, has died at his home in Cambridge, England. He was 76.

There are many, many more he inspired coming up. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox, Michelle Thaller and of course Michio Kaku (though he's been around) are just a few

Incredible intellect. He will be remembered as one of the giants that will help our species see further. RIP

I wish I could quote his scientific work, but this is more on my level.

What a shame. It was a miracle he lived as long as he did considering his disease. The world is a dumber place without Hawking in it.

OMG, can people just stop being offended by EVERYTHING? SMH.

Gal Gadot’s Seemingly Innocent Tribute To Stephen Hawking Offended Some People

Actress Gal Gadot probably didn’t mean to offend anyone with a recent tweet — but she certainly did.

Stephen Hawking died Wednesday at the age of 76 from complications due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. On the day of his death, many, including “Wonder Woman” herself, mourned the world-renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist on social media.

“Rest in peace Dr. Hawking,” Gadot wrote in a tweet. “Now you’re free of any physical constraints. Your brilliance and wisdom will be cherished forever.”

People with disabilities and their advocates took offense at Gadot’s statement that Hawking was finally free of his “physical constraints” and said the assertion was ableist, or discriminatory toward people with disabilities.

Hawking was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21 — and is believed to have been living with the condition longer than any other patient in medical history. He spent the majority of his public life in a wheelchair and used a sophisticated computer system to speak.

Several people on Twitter explained to Gadot that it’s bothersome when a disability is viewed as something that inhibits a person from living life to the fullest and that death relieves a person of this burden.

This applies to everyone, we will all be free of physical constraints at some point. Whether that will actually be liberating is open to debate.

Finally something that I can agree with you on. Why people (especially on the left) have to get so offended when people are OBVIOUSLY trying to say the right thing and their message is sincere is so damn frustrating.

Apparently Satan kept him alive to counter Billy Graham

I abhor religion because of stuff like this. Take a genius and use his death to then spout faith based nonsense.

Clearly Satan kept Billy Graham alive to counter Stephen Hawking.

I'm pretty sure God and Satan already covered this on Twitter.
