RIP

His name was Stephen :thumb:

Wow

RIP

He definitely lived longer than most would have thought, and was a great contributor to the field of science.

Can’t get the name right? Geeezzzz

RIP

Sucks that he died believing the earth is more than 600 years old

RIP

Loved reading his books. The mind of a generation, and he didn't marry his cousin like Einstein did.

Sad to see this.

ALS took my Grandpa three weeks ago. He loved reading Hawking's books and passed that love on to me. He was the best man I'll ever know.

**** that disease.

That really sucks.

Damn. It's amazing he lived as long as he did, but still very sad to see him go.

If you ever feel the need to gain a glimpse inside the hell that people living with ALS deal with, or just want to watch a powerful documentary, I cannot recommend "Gleason" enough. RIP sir.

Yes, a very unenlightened man.

Damn. Great mind. RIP.

Brains and quite a sense of humor.

Really an amazing life story. RIP

One of the greatest minds of our time. RIP.

Stephen Hawking: "My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."

Goddamnit...just goddamnit......

RIP

Neil deGrasse Tyson is awesome.
Well said.

What is the one mystery that you find most intriguing, and why?

Hawking: Women

I'd hoped that he'd share how he survived ALS for 55 years before he went.

well duh, he was probably the smartest person living on this planet. ��

That doesn't help me understand how to survive ALS for 55 years.

For many years, I hoped that the Chiefs would sign him as a GM. Sadly, it never happened.

He was too busy fighting ALS and writing books n'stuff.
I'd imagine he'd be deep into analytics which would have been interesting considering most GMs simply do their decision making based off the opinions of the chaw chewing inbreds they send out on the road to scout.

RIP sir.

Yet, rejected God.

Strange person.

Cue the Curly Bill .gif...

Come on, now.

Not strange, just, well, what's the word I'm looking for?

Oh yea. Smart.

He was arrogant.

People who think they're intelligent, but don't believe in God, yet want to know the "secrets of the universe" are simply arrogant.

Not trying to speak ill of the dead, I know a lot of you respected him, and I'm not trying to slight his accomolishments or how he adapted to his condition, but it's not like he had some intuitive understanding of the universe - it was forced. Stilted.

Wrong, at least for me. If it works for you, more power to you.

I remember when I used to eat breakfast on the way to work and eat lunch in my car every day I’d tell people I’ve had more meals on wheels than Stephen Hawking.

Died on Albert Einsteins birthday and also national pie day.

RIP

The singular great mind of our time. Who will replace him?

I'll bet Todd Haley rejected God

Damn. RIP.

One of my favorite quotes from him: "The Earth is only 600 years old, seriously.

Todd Haley isn't touted as one of the world's leading thinkers, either.

Even though there's scientific proof otherwise?

Fitting that he died on Pi day.

ROFL

RIP you magnanimous prick

Oh hell never though of that when they said it was National pie day on news I though as in apple or cherry its pi day and Einsteins Birthday. Almost like he planned it.

Not to get this bounced to DC, but based on your position, every scientist prior to the rise of Christianity, and every non-Christian scientist, is "arrogant", which is ****ing stupid.

I swear our local news this morning said today was national pie day, and thinking pie, not PI.

In either case, he died yesterday, so how could he have died on national pie or PI day?

It was the 13th here. It was the 14th in England, where he died.

Ahhhh. Thank you!

Then **** merry ol England too!

RIP

Did he have any last words?

People believe in God because they can't explain something. He desired and searched for understanding, so God wasn't really an option.

I think these three quotes sum up the basics of life pretty well. RIP, Mr. Hawking.

Smartest man on the planet running the Chiefs? It's already happened. Just ask King Carl.

RIP. He made it to 76. That's a pretty good run for anybody

He is universally viewed as the smartest person that lived in our lifetimes. Intellect that impacted human history. Maybe you shouldn't be so dismissive of his beliefs?

Did you know that Albert Einstein turned down the offer to be the State of Israels first Prime Minister?

Who will take his place now that he's gone? Bowtie Bill Nye the science guy? Talk about arrogant!

In celebration, one of the more interesting meditations on the interplay between transcendentals, physics and geometry I've seen in a while.

hhhhnunnnnnnnnnggggghhhh.

Agree 2&3 but 1 not so much. How you gonna look at stars in daytime stare at the sun? Also most of his life he didnt have to worry about steppin in the dog shit.

lol

Is this too soon? I bet it was those MIT Punks getting revenge!!!

Never paid much attention to the guy mainly because I had zero interest in him. I see a lot of people talking about how brilliant he was. Has any of his theories ever really been proven or are they just theories?

yes, a black hole is not really a black hole. It does emit stuff.

It’s going to help us understand Dark Matter which we can’t see but know it exists.

I'm just gonna assume that you're intentionally being a butthole, and that you're not really that ignorant. :)

It’s definitely the Christian thing to do to insult a guy that’s been living with a terrible disease the day after he dies just because he had different religious beliefs than you.

He proved that Jesus invented dinosaurs

It is on Chiefsplanet

ROFLROFLROFLROFL

What kind of dumb shit post is this?

:clap:

A religious fellow once told me "christians are the worst thing for christianity". Example eleventy billion. The worst thing is you pretending to not insult him, "not trying to insult the dead, i know some of you respected him". Well you insulted him. Stop pretending you have respect for the dead.

Is everyone sure that his computer didn't just crash or something?

Maybe he just needs a reboot

Dumb shit? It's the truth, and it is very sad IMHO.

Is there a link for it anywhere? I would be interested in seeing what context it was being said in.

Carcosa is just trying to get under my skin by saying 600 instead of 6000, the actual age of the Earth. He thinks he's being funny. But he's just being stupid.
