In Memoriam: Stephen Hawking

Noted physicist Stephen Hawking is dead at 76:

Stephen Hawking - who died aged 76 - battled motor neurone disease to become one of the most respected and best-known scientists of his age.

A man of great humour, he became a popular ambassador for science and was always careful to ensure that the general public had ready access to his work.

His book A Brief History of Time became an unlikely best-seller although it is unclear how many people actually managed to get to the end of it.

Via Joe.My.God. There's much more at the link.

And here's a nice discussion of his attitude toward his life.
