Stephen Hawking was one of the brightest stars in cosmology, who awed both scientists and the general public with his exemplary works in the field of theoretical physics, cosmology, black holes,etc.

It still seems unreal and unbelievable that he is no more. In the words of Neil deGrasse Tyson -

“His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake. But it’s not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating the fabric of spacetime that defies measure.”

I didn't know much about the magnificence of this personality before I read his book 'The Theory of Everything’ in which he explained the complexity of universe, black holes, singularity, in a subtle,witty and simpler way to the general public from a scratch without filling it with difficult jargons. Hia perception of time excited me.

They will remember him as a man confined to a wheelchair after being afflicted with a “neuromuscular disease but still ascended to the boundaries of universe and beyond” and is trying to unlock the mysteries of the universe. He was a inspiration from them when it came to physics,astronomy,etc.

He came from the stars.Lived as a star. Went back to the star. Stephen Hawking don't die.They just move from one star to another.

But any science or especially space enthusiast who has spent some time exploring and studying about the universe will feel it as a tremendous loss to the cosmo-world who will be deeply anguished today.

Some look upon him as the Einstein of the generation. Our knowledge of the world and the universe would be so much less if it weren’t for Hawking's. He understood the universe, black holes,time very well in a nutshell. He was a true legend in himself.

“I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first” -Stephen Hawkings
