Just heard the news. A brilliant man, with a sense of humour (he invited people to his birthday party from the past and future then waited for them to turn up, just to prove time travel was impossible) and an international best seller too.
A sad day for Physics.
An amazing, briliant mind and incredibly tough to manage with his condition for so long.
A tribute also for those who cared for him.
I wonder who could be the next in line to win that accolade?

Not me, that's for sure. :worried:
What a man. Another light now appears in the night sky :(
Good grief, was only watching him in Big Bang Theory at the weekend :(

A very saddening loss to the world. Simply a brilliant man. Considering his life limiting condition, he certainly made the most of life. RIP Professor.

A lot of news items about him, his science and his life.

He was truly inspiring. In my Physics teaching days my students were fascinated by him, and this in turn encouraged them to try harder to master the subject.
In today's paper:

I suppose someone decided it was time for Einstein to have someone to talk to, and since it was his birthday.....
And they were both 76 when they died...........
