Stephen Hawking, rock star scientist and one of the brightest minds of the present has passed on. He was 76 years old. Considering that his doctor gave him two years to live, due to his disease, 50 years ago, this is actually cause for celebration.

Mr Hawking, Sir, you led an inspirational and epic life. You carved your name into the universe as we understand it and you will not be forgotten!

PS: We should start Hawking Day in celebration of his work and memory!
