This was actually quite shocking to me. He was an amazing man with a great understanding of the universe, he also had some amazing quotes. My favourite was: "The quietest people have the loudest minds".
Woke up to this yesterday and was so woke because it surprised me. Dude was a crazy smart scientist and it's sad to see him go.
In all seriousness though, of any celebrity or actually deserving famous person to have died in my life I'd have to say this one is the most shocking. I've always been amazed by how a person can be so smart, so dedicated, and so funny all at the same time. I remember all the way back in grade school when my friends and I had really no idea what really made somebody smart but when we'd talk about the smartest people ever it was always the same two names- Einstein and Hawking. What an amazing human, may his soul rest in peace.
