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

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.
Oh, so it's okay when *you* do it. Got it.
He’s saying it’s okay when *anybody* does it, because it’s a figure of speech
But he has mocked people for a lack of scientific perspective on any number of topics, including "Happy New Year." My thought is someone so committed to objective viewpoints wouldn't want to appear to be a hypocrite like that, but maybe I'm wrong.
@neiltyson c’mon man, from a Social Studies teacher...you have to use BCE & CE!
Exactly. These are cultural norms. Uh oh, he might be surprised to know that some atheists celebrate Christmas (even its actuall roots wouldn't gel with atheism).pic.twitter.com/C6JADHURBY
Maybe he's surprised that someone who mocks people for saying Happy New Year would be so hypocritically flippant with his well-wishes.
Maybe the day someone finds out their friend died isn't the time to address that grievance with them.pic.twitter.com/zBbeYnnIBO
Why not? Is there something special or transcendent about human grief?
Oh you're one of those lol. I won't waste anymore of my time or yours.
“One of those” who challenges your presuppositions?
Bluntly, I don't think you're dumb enough to wonder how people view periods of grieving and you certainly don't strike me as someone who ponders deep notions to somehow move humanity forward. You're obviously playing dumb as a tactic, so no thanks. Let's leave it.
Not playing dumb. Genuinely curious how you reconcile the inconsistency of a worldview that claims humans aren’t special, have no transcendent meaning, and are merely piles of meat with empathy and grief upon death.
Not to mention that resting in peace is exactly what the man’s body will be doing. Whether buried or burned to ashes, he is gone and his body will likely soon be resting somewhere peacefully.
i feel the need to apologize for this other man's tweet. say whatever you want Dr Tyson, and state your peace however you see fit. You shouldn't need to justify yourself in mourning of a friend, or at least like minded individual. Hawking was an inspiration to the best of us.
Sorry if my reply isnt very coherent, its hard to convey deep and emotional thoughts in a 180 character tweet.
Actually it’s turning out that our planet is the centre of the universe. 


Since everyone uses Sunrise, although the earth is rotating, what do you call the Sunrise or Sunset then? What word replaces these and is short as.
