His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake.
But it’s not empty.

Genuinely very sad to hear that.
If you havent, read A Brief History of Time.
Itll make the world feel more amazing and beautiful and strange.
Itll also make you feel smart and stupid all at once.
I am very saddened to hear of Stephen Hawkings passing.
You are shining in the heavens you so loved now!
theres a big black hole in my heart hours before Pi day.
It is a great loss to the scientific community.
He was a hero to so many.
