Stephen Hawking

Simple title for not so simple man.

Stephen Hawking has passed away, I remember hearing about him growing up. The world lacks public disabled role models Stephen was the most mainstream.  An unlikely icon who appeared in various walks of pop culture. Only a handful of scientists have become household names. Stephen with his colleagues pretty much an army helped shaped physics as we know it. One of my regrets won’t get the chance to meet him asking how his day is going. Remember hearing about Stephen Hawking during my teenage years. Looking back school was teaching me how to pass exams barely learning the basics. Part of me would always want to ask more. Whole school process was deeply painful for a little Dyslexia boy. Growing up with the internet spent hours researching theories which were above what schools were teaching.  Remember having chats about black holes, at the same time would revise history dates and faces.

A brief history of time is a wonderful read which is easy to understand. Lets readers dip their toes into the concepts which Stephen and co-worked on for decades. Should have picked up the book back when I was a teenager. It was only couple years that finally got around to reading it. Ended up reading the book during a series of long bus rides.  Almost missed my stop couple times due to that book. Tonight I plan on re-reading A brief history of time to inspire myself once again. Thank you, Stephen Hawking and everybody who ever worked with you. Without knowing your story my school years would be much worse. Just wished I had the opportunity to ask how your day was going.
