    His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake. But it's not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating the fabric of spacetime that defies measure. Stephen Hawking, RIP 1942-2018.pic.twitter.com/nAanMySqkt

        He now knows all of the secrets of the universe. But somehow I think that he knew them all along. RIP Professor Hawking.

        He's probably going "Huh, so that how it all works and comes together. It's so deceptively simple and we are wrong about everything. Bugger. You have to see it from the outside."

        Nobel Prize is given because your research or discovery delivers to humanity a great contribution I do think so Hawking's radiation is an outstanding improvement to theoretical physics, but it is no practical so far. Maybe he will receive a post mortem Nobel.

        I never said they do. I said «maybe». And perhaps in a few decades his work will be finally proved and they will consider a post mortem Nobel for the first time ever. I only expressed my wishes.

        Not attacking, just informing. Given that a. Nobels are not awarded posthumously and b. His work has no practical application yet, I just don't think it's realistic is all. Brilliant man? Absolutely. Just doesn't fit for this precise award.

        Actually, Resting in Peace would indicate an identity existing beyond death that would be able to "rest" or have a sense of peace. I'm surprised that someone who so often corrects others on science would embrace such a religious viewpoint.

        Wait, there’s more. I say “bless you” to sneezes. I say "goodbye" (from God-Be-With-You) to those who leave. I say “Godspeed" to astronaut friends about to launch. And I gleefully use BC & AD. (p.s. I’d bet you use the term “sunrise" even though you know Earth is what turns.)

        I was thinking what this guy said. There are a lot of “Metaphysical quaisi-religious references on this post. I really believe we all believe in something more than the physical... I hear “energy, cosmos”, and afterlife references... So RIP AND GOD BLESS!!

        Also I wanted to add that my Mom passed away from ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease 20 years ago!! So even though I believe differently than Mr Hawking, I pray for his family’s comfort and wish him God Speed.
