Few individuals have, or likely will, come into this Earth and have such an incredible impact on it. His name should be easily recognised among households and taught to children along with all of the other greats. A genius of our time, and I don't throw out that word lightly. And still, despite it all, he remained so humble and approachable as a person. His passing is sad, and hopefully he has gone on to equally blow the lid on whatever mysteries that lie beyond. His contributions to the world, and civilization's knowledge in general will be a rightfully earned legacy. Thank you, Dr. Hawking, for sharing all of your ideas with us.
