    RIP Steve you genius. I think understanding the universe will be the only way humans gain true perspective of the miracle of life and he went a long way to improving that understanding. Top bloke.

    World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.

    He died peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said.

    The British scientist was famed for his work with black holes and relativity, and wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.

    At the age of 22 Prof Hawking was given only a few years to live after being diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease.

    The illness left him in a wheelchair and largely unable to speak except through a voice synthesiser.

    Absolutely unbelievable (in the true sense of the word) how long he lived, given his condition. A great man.

    People with disabilities often do. It's the able-bodied * worried about offending anyone who get all tetchy and hung up on the differences.
