Sorry to hear it. He beat great odds to live a reasonably long life.

I'm really sad. I know it's stupid but I always wonder why people like this die early and evil people seem to live for fucking ever!
I know he was sick, but still there are so many fat, unhealthy republicans who just never seem to die. RIP Professor Hawking.

It sucks, but he did beat the odds and live a full life.

Still, it’s a sad moment. His theories motivated, irritated and pushed me.

My heart is sad.
