Physicist Stephen Hawking Dies Aged 76

Think what a copy signed by Steven Hawking might be worth! Boggles the mind, eh?
It won't boggle the mind as much as much of the contents of the book do (if you know what I mean).
The last set of photos of Stephen Hawking is of him leaving a lavish dinner in Mayfair just before Christmas. It's believed he may have died from complications arising from a chest infection which he contracted every year:
Hawking discovered nothing, invented nothing except science fiction and was totally contrived and controled by Quackademia. He won,t be missed by real science. His entire life was devoted to crap like black holes and the big bang, both theorys already discarded and proven BS by serious science. He was not a physicist he was a poster boy and a fraud. I have his funny book A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME which was very painfull to read garbage. It was and is crap all the way through.

Apart from Hawking radiation, emitted by black holes; that the Big Bang was rather like the collapse of a black hole in reverse; that a black hole can only increase, never decrease, in size; that spaceships or objects that fall into a black hole may drift into a "baby universe" of their own: a small, self-contained world that branches off from our region of space-time; that the universe is infinite and has no boundaries; that singularities are a common phenomenon throughout space; and that the universe began with a gravitational singularity.
But, other than those, you're right.
His downsides, however, were that he supported Remain in the EU referendum and he once partook in a silly attempted boycott of Israel.
Stephen Hawking's final legacy: Professor submitted research paper TWO WEEKS before he died revealing how we can detect other universes and predicting the end of the world
Hawking and his co-author Thomas Hertog wrote the paper on his deathbed
The research paper by the pair is titled A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation
It details how we may be able to detect other universes using a spaceship
Hawking also predicts that our existence will fade into darkness when the stars run out of energy

Stephen Hawking submitted a research paper two weeks before his death
Just two weeks before his death Stephen Hawking submitted a research paper revealing how to detect evidence of a multiverse and predicting the end of our existence.
The multiverse is a theory that our universe is just one of many others out there caused by the Big Bang.
The paper, which was completed on his deathbed, discusses the idea that we could measure other universes using a detector on a spaceship.
If this evidence was discovered during Hawking's lifetime it may have put him in the running for a Nobel Prize - something he was never able to achieve.
Thomas Hertog, who co-authored the paper named A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation, told the Sunday Times: 'He has often been nominated for the Nobel and should have won it. Now he never can.'
A 1983 paper Hawking drew up with James Hartle explains how the universe came into being but the theory also suggested that the Big Bang also created an infinite number of others - each producing their own universe.
This theory of inflation, that the universe expanded exponentially before settling down to slower expansion, was impossible to test.
Hertog claims that he and Hawking wanted to take the idea of a multiverse and turn it into a 'testable scientific framework'.
The paper he co-authored, titled 'A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation', details how we may be able to find evidence of a multiverse and predicts the end of the world
However the potentially ground-breaking research also suggests the existence of earth will fade into darkness when the stars run out of energy.
The idea that we will eventually fade into blackness remains controversial with cosmologists, including Professor Neil Turok, director of Canada's Perimeter Institute, who was confused as to why Hawking found the idea interesting.
However on the other hand some scientists have concluded that Hawking's work could be the breakthrough that cosmology needs.
This is largely because it is the first theory that could be tested.
Carlos Frenk, professor of cosmology, agreed that it has previously been impossible to measure other universes.
She said: 'The intriguing idea in Hawking's paper is that [the multiverse] left its imprint on the background radiation permeating our universe and we could measure it with a detector on a spaceship.'
Frenk argues that finding evidence of other universes could completely change our perception of our place in the cosmos.
Your objection has been recorded in the big book of Who Gives a Fukk.
The ashes of world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking will be interred next to the graves of fellow British scientists Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin at Westminster Abbey in London, England.
In a statement released Tuesday, Dean of Westminster John Hall, wrote, "It is entirely fitting that the remains of Professor Stephen Hawking are to be buried in the Abbey, near those of distinguished fellow scientists. Sir Isaac Newton was buried in the Abbey in 1727. Charles Darwin was buried beside Isaac Newton in 1882."

"Other famous scientists are buried or memorialised nearby, the most recent burials being those of atomic physicists Ernest Rutherford in 1937 and Joseph John Thomson in 1940. We believe it to be vital that science and religion work together to seek to answer the great questions of the mystery of life and of the universe," he added.
Stephen Hawkings has been dead for forty years. Into one of his black holes decades ago.

LONDON — British regulators on Tuesday barred one of Stephen Hawking’s former nurses from practising after finding she failed to provide appropriate care to the late physicist.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council struck off Patricia Dowdy, 61, who faced multiple misconduct charges, including financial misconduct, dishonesty, not providing appropriate care, failing to co-operate with the council and not having the correct qualifications.
Dowdy worked for Hawking between 1999 and 2004 and again from July 2013 until being handed an interim suspension in March 2016.
“The panel has found Mrs. Dowdy failed to provide the standards of good, professional care that we expect and Professor Hawking deserved,” said Matthew McClelland of the council. “As a result, Mrs. Dowdy will no longer be able to practice as a nurse.”
The best-known theoretical physicist of his time, Hawking wrote so plainly about the mysteries of space, time and black holes that his book “A Brief History of Time” became an international bestseller.

Though suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Hawking stunned doctors by living with the normally fatal illness for more than 50 years. A severe attack of pneumonia in 1985 left him breathing through a tube, forcing him to communicate through an electronic voice synthesizer.
Hawking died a year ago at the age of 76.
The hearing into Dowdy’s actions was clouded by controversy. The Mail on Sunday, which was first to report on the matter, said Hawking’s family lodged a complaint, which prompted the investigation.
A hearing, which began in February, was held behind closed doors.
The council’s chief executive, Andrea Sutcliffe, said hearings are sometimes held in private to keep information confidential.
“No public interest is served by exposing the details of the health or care of an individual whose anonymity may not be guaranteed in an open hearing,” she said.
Hawking’s family thanked the council after the verdict.
“The Hawking family are relieved this traumatic ordeal has now concluded and that as a result of the verdict, others will not have to go through what they suffered from this individual,” a statement said.
