Stephen Hawking Dead at 76

Did you ever wonder what can escape a black hole? Hawking radiation.

A brilliant mind, and wicked sense of humor, in a ravaged body.

A sad, sad day for the world.

The world is much poorer for his absence in it.

Feels very appropriate that Hawking died on Pi Day, & also on Albert Einstein's birthday.

And he was born 300 years to the day, he liked to point out, after the death of Galileo, who had begun the study of gravity.

A singularly sad day in the search for a singularity...
