Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking was one of the greatest and most intelligent people that ever lived, and as everyone mourns the loss of this incredible scientist, it's time to remember not only his scientific achievements but his humor and the best jokes that come along with it.
In the documentary 'Stephen Hawking: A Brief History of Mine' the scientist stated that smart jokes would always have a significant role in his life. This mindset helped him overcome the struggles he faced when he was diagnosed with degenerative motor neuron disease in 1963.
Hawking passed away on March 14th, and the media was flooded with tributes to the honorary scientist. "The Simpsons" executive producer-writer Al Jean went on social media to post his thoughts saying, “A sense of humor as vast as the universe,” touching on the lighthearted way the physicist was able to see the world.
Stephen Hawking quotes are usually quite deep, investigating the meaning of life, the Universe and motivations to live. His funny jokes touch the same subjects but in such a manner that even the most prominent skeptic gives in to a laugh.

the whole world is smarter and funnier because of his existence.

That's a very pessimistic way to look at it, we won't just simply forget one of the greatest legends in the universe, or shall I say universes?
I hope "is". He died but what he taught us didn't go with him.
He has died, but his legacy will live on for a long time.
that wasn't very optimistic news either :'( .... and also i didn't quite read that original comment- didn't really thought it through. and yes, that seems to be the way it was meant- world IS smarter, because he gave us a lot of knowledge, so it's not determined by his presence, because he already shared his wisdom. what i understood on first sight was just that side of thing about him being/not being here anymore
Dude ur hurting downvotes but I get what u wanted to say :)

Lets not forget he was white Privileged male from a racist patriarchal society.
We learned so much from this man but you choose to hate him because of the color of his skin and his society, racism goes both ways bucko.
So instead of celebrating his brilliant mind, we should hate him? Hate breeds hate
RIP Stephen Hawking…we will all remember you and pass on your wisdom, humor and legacy…you will not be forgotten.
👍🏻🤟🏻👊🏻😔
RIP Hawkings... You showed that no matter who you are, you can do amazing things... You were an inspiration to this world! <3
