Fans, scientists and celebrities pay tribute to Stephen Hawking

The world dawned sadder on Wednesday (14) with the news of the death of British theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking, one of the most celebrated and celebrated scientists of the entire 20th century. areas, as well as anonymous fans, paid their respects to the scientist.

Another pop star in science, US astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson believes that Hawking's death leaves an intellectual vacuum, but not a void. "Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating all the space-time that defies measurement, " wrote the scientist on Twitter.

His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake. But it's not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating the fabric of spacetime that defies measure. Stephen Hawking, RIP 1942-2018. pic.twitter.com/nAanMySqkt

British scientist Brian Cox stressed Hawking's contribution not only to science itself, but also as an inspiration to many people to become interested in science. "Your contributions to science will be useful as long as there are scientists, and there are many more scientists because of you, " he wrote. “He talked about the value and fragility of human life and civilization, greatly improving both.”

Sad to hear about Stephen Hawking. What a remarkable life. His contributions to science will be used as long as there are scientists, and there are many more scientists because of him. He spoke about the value and fragility of human life and civilization and greatly enhanced both.

NASA also didn't let Stephen Hawking's death go blank. Also on Twitter, the US space agency recalled that its studies opened "a universe of possibilities" that the whole world is exploring. "May you continue to fly like Superman in microgravity, as you told the Space Station astronauts in 2014, " the agency said.

"He was extraordinary, " molecular biology student Edo Dzafic, 26, told AFP. “He encouraged people to get out of their comfort zone. It's what we all dream of doing. ”

For Justin Hayward, Hawkings student during his doctorate between 1991 and 1995, the teacher was a great inspiration. “It was fun working with him. He had a great sense of humor, ”he commented. “He has done much to develop our understanding of the results of general relativity. It was a source of inspiration. ”

Across the internet, thousands of anonymous, celebrities, renowned scientists and organizations celebrate Hawking's life and legacy:

Stephen Hawking passed away yesterday at 76. I had a "perfect penalty" theory.

The day Stephen Hawking leaves us is also the day Einstein would be 139 years old.

Let us remember today the importance of the scientific spirit, curiosity and the search for answers and new questions.

Study, research, learn, ask, and most importantly: live.
