Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.
The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking (1942 – 2018) who sadly passed today. As well as his scentific genius, the legendary Englishman was considered a true inspiration for not allowing his motor neurone disease hold him back. The 76 year old’s wonderful sense of humour was also reflected in his cameos in shows like The Simpsons, The Big Bang Theory and Futurama.

It was clear how highly he was regarded and loved by the people.
Yes, so true –
Love this quote.
There was a shorter one around, but this version is better. It says so much more.
Great post and great quote! And great man.
He really was. I loved that he had a great sense of humour. In The Simpsons when he talks about stealing Homer’s doughnut shaped universe idea and in The Big Bang Theory when Sheldon finally meets him.
Me too!! He was so funny, I loved that about him. So modest too.
He told a girl obsessed with One Direction that she should go and learn about particle physics in the hope that one day she could then time travel to stop Zayn from leaving the band!!
Really did think Harry would be the bigger star. Zayn is huge. Zayn and Gigi sure made a power couple.
Harry’s still bigger (erm, I’m talking about star status btw!)
You said it perfectly Emma.
What a great loss.
A truly inspirational figure.
His loss is so sad but his legacy is still there and won’t be forgotten.
Exactly it. I’m glad they made the movie before he died and he got to see it.
It was a movie that really shone a light on him. He will be missed.
Another beautiful mind lost.
And another that won’t ever be forgotten.
