He will definitely be missed. A sad day.

Sad, and may his soul be ever at one with the universe.

One of the great physicist. May he rest in peace and soul be free from mortal burdens.

May him go faster then speed of light

I'm grateful we had him as long as we did, and wish him all the rest he deserves and more.

I’ve read the news this morning😢. Godspeed to him.

He shall be greatly missed.

Oh my gosh. That is sad.

He will be missed for sure.

he continued to make discoveries despite all odds
may he rest in peace ;w;

god SHIT i literally found this out from you just now xxmxx

didn't really have much personal investment in his work but it's always sad to lose a great mind yo, and he was undoubtedly one of the best. RIP a fuckin legend.

Thus his era ends. And thus another may open.

Oh no! He's gone? He was one of the greatest minds of our time. He will be missed.

Amazing how he lived as long as he did though. Most people with his condition don't live nearly as long.

He will be sorely missed; the world lost someone great today.

One of the, if not THE greatest mind to help science in ages. With him gone, I hope that someone else arises to take his place.

RIP Stephen. You will be missed dearly.

The world has grown much dumber now since He's gone.

The world of science must be in mourning.

It really upset me as I was sitting in class and someone exclaimed “Stephen Hawking has died!” to everyone. Having grown up with a passion for science, as an admirer or his work, now studying engineering, it was definitely quite heartbreaking to hear that he is no longer with us.

On the bright side, he lived an amazing life and did many incredible things, and lived much longer than doctors believed he would. His theories have made many new scientific concepts, many of which have real world applications. He’ll be remembered in time as another pioneer of discovery. But many of us, as shown in the above comments, will miss him very much.

He gave us the key that opened up the realm of possibilities. Today is indeed a black day, for we have lost one of the greatest scientists in the world, standing tall as Albert Einstein himself.

RIP Stephen Hawking, though you may have moved on onto another realm, your legacy, your research, shall be honored and contiued forth. *Takes off hat and hold it over my heart*

He'll definitely be missed. Probably the greatest mind of our lifetimes....

The greatest mind of our time. And a marvelous man. He will be sorely missed.

I already said this on Dragoneer's journal, but it may not be coincidental that he died today, 3.14 (3/14) ; for multiple reasons other than just "pi". The family would not reveal the cause of death.

Not that its bad though, he lived 55 years longer than the doctors said he would.

Carl Sagan said, "We are a way for the Universe to know itself."
Stephen Hawking knew the universe perhaps better than any human ever.
