Steven Hawking and Our Eulogy
To me the death of Steven Hawking is like the death of a star that now becomes part of a black hole and thus it dissapears but we don't know what part it still might play in the universe. If a man can disprove the existence of god, well I was hopping we had him for a few more years.
He did not have an easy life but he was blessed with a loving wife, three loving offsprings and the opportunity to help the human race in its quest for answers. Thanks goodness that here on earth no one person is indispensable and we do have other scientist minds, many inspired by Steven Hawking himself. Imagined being constrained to a wheel chair and not be able to move but your cheeks and your eyes. But even to that he found an answer.
I wanted to post something on his passing and I read some obits but it was CNN with simple quotes by him full of wisdom, Iam glad for Steven that at last he is free, just like the day he was born. If there is a god it wont be mad at Steve for proving there is no god because Steven always spoked the truth as he knew it. That is all we can all do. Speak things as we see they are not how we might wish they were or others to see it.
