    Such a rare genius -- a man with a mind that could ponder the unknown and put it both into mathematical formulae that only other geniuses can understand -- but who could also put the complexities of the Universe into terms that you and I can know. We will miss him. RIP, Dr. Hawking.

    Hawkings didn’t have much interest in my favorite science biology. He thought to imprecise. That was until he became ill with ALS. I always thought that He really just didn’t like the complexity of biological processes and their complex cascade processes and open loop negative feedback control mechanisms that defy simplification. To be fair one of Hawkings genius was his ability to simply the complex. The great scientist not only have intuitive leaps that others do not grasp they can simplify them so the rest of us can comprehend them.

    It’s a mark of his Greatness that Hawking's was Cambridge Chair of maths. The last man to Chair maths at Cambridge was Isaac Newton.

    If he was such a genius, why didn't he spend his life trying to find a cure for what he had?
