My condolences for the man the myth and legacy of the theorists family . As he made appearances on star trek tng, big bang theory. His professionalism was from his very best to motivate himself to open the theories of the unknown black hole. I never had the opportunity to ask him specifically if he could explain to me how the light travels through the black hole and does any object that travels through the black hole gets torn apart. Does the black holes gravity pull apart objects by their own gravity. Does black holes have unstable gravity or its own gravitational force. His mind is a sophisticated mind and will not ever be forgotten.

I have never met this man in my life, and I have not known about him for 24 hours yet, but he has impacted me and gave me inspiration to not let life's obstacles get in the way. Stephen Hawking was a great man and he wasn't someone to just give up and let people bring him down. I am very sorry for those of you who were close to this lovely man, I have lost my whole family, and I know this is one of the hardest times in your life, but hold in there, just think about what Stephen would want for you. Make him proud(:

I just got to know about you in the past 2 years on The 6 Part Series that Stephen Hawking had on BBC and how amazing he is. The movie The Theory of Everything was like I've known him my entire life. I am betting that in Heaven Stephen is taking that trip into space with Galileo , Issac Newton and other famous people even though he wasn't able to take his space flight here on earth. Stephen Hawking is definitely one of the people I want to meet in Heaven I know he is there with God now

It says something great about a person when someone like Mr. Hawking can say something so clear that an artist can see and comprehend what he is saying, even though I have little skill with science. I have always had a profound respect for Mr. Hawking. Lots of hugs for his family, friends, and those he kept close.

The entire world owes you a HUGE debt of gratitude! You and you alone brought so much to the field of science that in which we can never have repaid you. May your soul rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to his family. Stephen was truly a remarkable human being. Although, MND took his body his mind was ever so brilliant. The world has lost a man of his time. May he always be remembered for what he taught us and we will be forever indebted for his generous nature to learning and his strength in allowing us into his life. You are now free to move about Stephen and share your knowledge in heaven with those you meet. Your memory will live on through us. Truly "1" of a kind. May you rest in peace. xo

Reading a brief history of time at 15 led to my degree, Hawking was inspiring funny and human he was the best of us. I'm still fascinated with physics because he made it accessible to a poor working class lad, an it helped me succeed.

I wish I had met him if only to have thanked him.

Future generations will build upon his work but it may take several generations to another mind as pure.

What ever awaits after the transition of death it is now significantly improved by Hawking's arrival. We however are diminished by his absence.

Stephen Hawking was a legendary human being and research scientist. He achieved highest of accolades beating his disability. One of his great achievements was to explain complex scientific concepts to ordinary people. His books and papers are a testimony to it. May his soul rest in peace.

You opened my eyes and mind to the fact that there are so many more versions of reality....thru your physics (which i must admit, I couldn't really understand it all)...gravitational waves of time and space-wow...but i also admire your shear tenacity to not give in to your disease....to live on despite it all and make your mark in the world! makes me feel small when i complain...i always looked to you and you gave me courage to do things i didn't want to do or were afraid of...you will be very deeply missed by me....keep thinking big....who knows if there is another dimension of life????if anyone can figure it out-you can!

I was deeply saddened to hear that Professor Hawking had passed way. Stephen Hawking is the one person on this planet I admire and respect the most.
Last year I was privileged to have attended Professor Stephen Hawking's 75th birthday symposium and sat directly behind him. It was a very humbling experience and really bought it home to me how much this man had to endure on a daily basis.
The genuine love and attention that was shown him by his family and carers was nothing short of amazing, but watching this, just a few feet in front of me, made me realize that my personal wish that he continue to inspire and encourage us from the confines of his chair for many years to come, was probably a selfish one. So today a prefer to believe that a brilliant and beautiful soul has been released from the burdens of a broken body to roam the stars. He has left us with a legacy and he is, and will remain, my number one hero.

Thank you Dr. Hawking for opening the door to the Universe for us and for telling the world what it needs to know that science does indeed explain everything. If only that one lesson could imbed itself into the minds of every human I can only imagine how many wars and therefore deaths could be avoided. As Secretary of War Stanton said after Lincoln's assassination, now you belong to the ages.

What if we could reverse engineer particles and waves back to formation of biologically configurable being , keeping the potentially damaging configurable particles away, ? Could we re invent particle medicine , to bring back our left particles to a immaculate biological being by mapping: speaking, acting , in behavior or in physical configuration. May be a new era ,for the next generation science students, - Bio-Particle Reverse Engineering, - Bringing Back Force to Biological Objects. We take what you left for us and we look forward what we or next of us can leave for theirs' nexts.

I felt very driven to visit Cambridge in a Christmas eve, walked quite a bit to reach new Cavendish, from Newton's (old) Math School by the punting side, across from which you stayed in your previous residence, an small door thru which you commuted on the wall, a 92 year old lady surprised me saying that that she had actually attended every single lecture of yours at the university, while she was walking to get the last charismas present for her granddaughter,
I felt even more spontaneous, and driven to visit and find out the new Cavendish, and a post doc researcher was the only person I found in a lab who pointed out to me, where you sit, upstairs, at the Sir Isaac Newton School of Mathematical Science, and the glass window.
He noted you had left for Christmas Eve, and whether he should let you know if I were a student of yours who came to see you in a Christmas Eve,
Nonetheless, I felt very compelled to pay a tribute on the day there.

I feel, we may leave but our particles with be around us, so will yours be, energizing us, inspiring...

I first noticed Stephen on the Sunday Morning program when he published his New York Times Best Seller. Inspiring. I had a relative die slowly over 10 years with the same disorder. Stephen was a miracle. He taught us a determination can change your life and slow the progression of a deadly disease. Pest in Peace.

March 19, 2018

I feel blessed to have been on the earth while you were here and a part of history just being able to sign this guest book. The world loves you and will remember you always. When my son came in and told me you had passed shortly after he heard...my heart skipped a beat. Thank You for everything you gave the world. RIP Stephen.

To family of Stephen: I received a book a few years ago for a present when asked what type of book, I said buy me something about Stephen. I always liked Einstein theories and I then learned about Stephen's contributions. I saw PBS documentary in USA-Michigan. He has paved the way for me, that I can overcome my own obstacles and for others as well.

Mr Hawking fought the fine fight for life and put more into it than anyone could ask for. Genesis 1:1 says,"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." May our creator give comfort and direction to family, friends and all whose lives were touched by Mr Hawking now at this difficult time and on into the future. God love you.

Thank you, Dr. Stephen Hawking, for sharing your brilliance, insight, inspiration, and humour with the world, and for making theoretical physics accessible to us laymen. You were and are an inspiration to the world, both for your infectious enthusiasm, and your amazing capacity to overcome great obstacles to achieve tremendous goals. Greatly admired, and greatly missed.

Dr. Hawkings,
You had a brilliant mind, you were very blessed with knowledge. You taught and gave so much to Science we thank you for your tremendous contributions.

May the Lord be with your family at this trying time. They say you didn't believe in God,I know there are clashes between science and religion for many, but God knows your heart and it was a golden one and I believe your with God and all your questions now have answers. Rest In Peace.

How dark the world would be without everything you taught us! I was lucky enough to hear you lecture once and it was amazing. The more you spoke about black holes the more questions I had. I loved it! Thank you for showing us all so much and making us want to know more. Now you can explore anywhere you want to go, enjoy!

Professor Stephen Hawking was and always will be the biggest inspiration in my life for all that he did with the conditions which he was given. We definitely lost a great mind. Rest in Peace Professor.

Dave Rubenstein

Such a brilliant mind. I read A Brief History of Time when I was in high school and it rocked my world. Ever since , I've followed his career and whatever else I could find to read by and about him. When he appeared on Star Trek, my favorite show...., I was the happiest kid. I'm going to have to get over the fact that his earthly mind is no longer cranking on the theory of everything. I hope wherever he is now, he can see how the entire universe all fits together in an elegant and perhaps simple Theory of Everything.

Thank you, Dr. Hawking!
I'm sure many will laugh that I haven't read A Brief History of Time; but I think I learned all I need for now about Hawking through the humor he portrayed on the tv show The Big Bang Theory!! I'm sad there'll be no more episodes with Prof Hawking. I appreciate all he offered to our world. So glad he was curious and didn't give up! Now where did I place my Hawking book?
