Fourth Death Anniversary of Physicist & Cosmologist #StephenHawking

One of the few scientists in the modern world who have gained a celebrity-like recognition and fan-following is physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking.
Despite fighting a battle with ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, his desire to explore the universe spread his scientific knowledge to the rest of the world. From the formation of the universe to its possible end, Hawking made calculated predictions about it all.
He was the first person to ever provide mathematical proof for the existence of black holes.
One of the many time-related theories he offered was that before the Big Bang explosion time was basically non-existent. This means questions regarding "what existed or happen before" this event are essentially meaningless.
That is precisely why His death on March 14, 2018 sent waves of sadness throughout the scientific community as well as non-scientific folks who were his admirers.
