Despite his disability, he turned to be a man of enormous success. He worked on blackholes. He too passed through a black hole. A timely tribute to a great physicist who left this world in 2018.

Thank you very much Valsa they made a movie of his life,'"The Theory Of Everything', funny how these great minds when unable to find answers put it down to the Miraculous. Darwin said the same seems religion and science are hand in hand. Tom

Sad that he was caught in ALS to slow him down. I am delighted that he said there had to be a God or Supreme Being because there was no way that the universe could exist without that element. Sara

Thank you Sara, funny though all scientists come to the same conclusion there must be a God as they don't have the missing piece of the jigsaw they are looking for, I always say we are something, so how can something come from nothing, it defies all logic and no scientist has ever provided an answer.

Thanks Kim, when he was first diagnosed with his illness they gave him two years, he certainly proved them wrong. Tom

That is indeed a very profound Senyru Tom. I really thought he was a lot older, what a great mind he had.....Maria

A great inspiration Maria not just for his brilliant mind but how he showed that despite a crippling illness you can still lead a full life. Tom
