A Tribute To The Late Stephen Hawking, A Brilliant Mind And An Inspiration To The Masses (He Has Passed Away 3/14/2018)

Stephen Hawking, World Renowned Physicist, Genius, and one of the most well known Academics of all-time, has passed away, early Wednesday, 3/14/2018, at the age of 76. He died peacefully at his home in England. Hawking had such a profound effect on the world, inspiring the Youth and the Masters alike, helping us continue to dream of a bigger, better future, and asking and answering critical quesitons about the Universe.

His reach for a 'Unified Theory', a theory marrying classical physics and quantum physics, was groundbreaking and advanced the topic to an amazing degree and although he didn't find one, he brought important questions into the field and theorized potential solutions which can now be expanded upon and theorized about in turn; he proposed that space and time may have no beginning or end. He also did important work on Black Holes, namely disproving the belief that Black Holes were so dense that nothing could escape their gravity; he found that some light could.

His inspirational nature must be counted in his achievements. He was and remains a hugely important figure for those with disabilities, showing that we are so capable as beings, even if things may look grim. The things we can achieve are limitless and Stephen Hawking is a shining example. He was an advocate for Assistive Technology For Digital Accessibility, Technologies utilized by individuals with disabilities so that they can effectively access Technology. He also was an advocate for cures to disabilities, speaking at events/fundraisers as a keynote speaker. He will forever be remembered for his achievements and for the inspiration he gave us all.

Rest In Peace, Stephen Hawking.
