The figure head known as Stephen Hawkings it being reported, has died.
Stephen Hawking, the brilliant British theoretical physicist who overcame a debilitating disease to publish wildly popular books probing the mysteries of the universe, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 76.
In his last years he warned of humanity's last hour, the threat of AI and the need to leave Earth to preserve humanity's survival.
Some conspiracy theories believe Stephen Hawkings died a long time ago and was replaced by a puppet with photo-shopped images and messages from an intellectual elite.
You gave us the wisdom, the knowledge and the reason to live and overcome the obstacles. Thank you for your work, your time and your life. You will be always in books and of course in our hearts. Rest in peace Stephen.
