His battle has ended - R.I.P. Stephen Hawking


Stephen Hawking has died this morning at the age of 76, after battling MND (ALS) for over 50 years.

“We have lost a truly beautiful mind, an astonishing scientist and the funniest
man I have ever had the pleasure to meet,” Eddie Redmayne told in a statement.
“My love and thoughts are with his extraordinary family.” (x)
