RIP

[Penner]

(CNN)Stephen Hawking, the brilliant British theoretical physicist who overcame a debilitating disease to publish wildly popular books probing the mysteries of the universe, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 76.

Considered by many to be the world's greatest living scientist, Hawking was also a cosmologist, astronomer, mathematician and author of numerous books including the landmark "A Brief History of Time," which has sold more than 10 million copies.
With fellow physicist Roger Penrose, Hawking merged Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum theory to suggest that space and time would begin with the Big Bang and end in black holes. Hawking also discovered that black holes are not completely black but emit radiation and will likely eventually evaporate and disappear

He lived decades longer than was expected. Brilliant man!

[Penner]

Yeah, he was also known to do TV/movie appearances as well as being a brilliant scientist:

I was never impressed by Hawking as a scientist, but his love life, that’s impressive!

Art Bell. RIP.

He got me through some crazy insomnia filled nights in my 20's & 30's. Nerd sometimes worked with one of his producers. He got to talk to Art, a couple of times.
