He was given 2 years to live...in 1961. RIP, but he lasted a lot longer than he should have.

The combination of science and human perseverance!

Contrary to what prejudiced people think (like Oprah) atheists indeed can feel awe.

Damn, I didnt know how wild the dude was. Married, started talking to a nurse or whatever, who was married to the guy that put the voice box thing in Hawkings setup. What a dog.

Rip.

Did Oprah really say atheists can't feel awe? That's ridiculous if true.

Saying it's a hoax, don't know the source very well.

Something similar happened before, I think?


Apparently there was a hoax of his death yesterday...?


That website exists to say celebrity death's are hoaxes until confirmed otherwise. Just put the celebrity name of choice in the link:

He finally BSOD.

Jokes aside, he lived an incredibly long life. I know someone with ALS and they died in their 40's. He is an extreme exception and is very luckily to live as long as he did.

Just looked at Wikipedia - its very odd you could tell they were still editing the is to was.


I don't understand how people's first reaction to news like this is to edit Wikipedia.

People care about Wikipedia being accurate, it's really not weird since none of them knew him personally.

He was the Lucasian Professor for Mathematics

If you're gonna refer to him with a title, it should be the right one imo

In the US, professor is a "lesser" term than doctor. I didn't realize that UK used the "German" tradition though, so I guess you should call him professor.

Lolno. Professor means college teacher in the US. It's a role unto itself.

In the UK, a college teacher is a Lecturer. A professor is the leader of a research group.

I see. He was technically all of the above.

But if your college teacher has a doctorate, the respectful thing is to call them Dr. So and So, not Professor So and So.

It depends on who it is. Some have a preference and others don't. I had some tell me not to refer to them as Dr. So and so.

Who prefers "Professor" over "Dr" though?

Like I tell my students to call me <First Name> instead of "Professor <Last Name>", but that's not me saying that calling people by their first name is more respectful.

If you're asking me to name which professor asked me to do this I can't remember. I think there were two, pretty sure one was a pretty chill dude in the humanities dept.

Anyone for whom Professor is an academic rank, and not merely an indicator of a teaching position.

Such as someone who holds a professorship in Europe

eg Hawking
