Years ago when I worked at the public library, I checked out every book and audio book available that was written by Stephen Hawking. I especially liked the audio books that were narrated by this man's computerized voice synthesizer. It was much better, in my opinion, than when one of his graduate student's read it. While I did not understand everything that Hawking was talking about, I did understand a lot of it. I even wondered why High School Physics had been so boring when Hawking made Physics so fascinating for me! Most impressive was his ability to create a theory and then immediately setout to discount it—and by doing so either validate it or prove it wrong. Also impressive was his ability to allow God to occupy the same Universe while other scientists may have difficulty accepting that coexistence. His contributions to physics, science, philosophy and theory are truly monumental—as was how he coped with his disease and the longevity and quality of his life in spite of it. Farewell Stephen Hawking. May you travel the cosmos at your leisure now.Years ago when I worked at the public library, I checked out every book and audio book available that was written by Stephen Hawking.
