Either way, a remarkably long run for someone in his condition.

And had a sense of humour as well
Very sad news. I seem to recall he wasn’t expected to live past 21.
Thanks, Dr Hawking.
yeah. not a bad innings.
This is also resolves the question of whether he’d ever get a Nobel Prize, which is never awarded posthumously.

He lasted a lot longer than the baseball player the disease is named after. Then again, modern medicine etc.
Russians?

That’s sad news.
He did a lot for science.
Rest in peace.
Died on PWM’s birthday to, the ungrateful bastard.
Aww.
I didn’t know him. Why do i feel a sense of loss?
My bad… he was diagnosed at 21 and given 2 years to live.
Died on Einstein’s birthday, fitting.

do you? I don’t, I mean, I can imagine that his family and friends are having a time of it right now, and probably can muster some empathy for them, but it’s not a loss for me… unless he was about to cure death and just didn’t get around to publishing.

News of scientist Stephen Hawking’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the March 2018 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the author of A Brief History of Time is alive and well.
who is the smartest person in the world now?

Still Stephen Hawking. Or according to himself The Donald.
I wondered if he suffered from depression, you could understand if he did, communication wouldn’t be easy and many activities wouldn’t be possible, obviously his mind wasn’t addled but it could feel trapped in a highly damaged body.

I was just looking about people who died on 14 March. George Eastman (the Kodak founder) killed himself by shooting himself in the heart. The heart? That’s not a common way to go.

That’s the trouble with non-SLR cameras.

I meant the camera but now think both prolly.
i wouldn’t say he was the smartest person in the world, among scientists. Ed Witten comes to mind as having that label.

I have huge respect for the intelligence of John Bardeen (two nobel prizes in physics) who died in 1991. My favourite living high intelligence physicist is Leonard Susskind. I also have heaps of respect for John Bahcall, who single-handedly gave us the standard solar model. I don’t know Witten well enough to comment.
Hawking was just lucky to be supervising a good student.

What is meant by information inside a black hole, is lost forever as the black hole evaporates.

In physics, physical information refers generally to the information that is contained in a physical system. Its usage in quantum mechanics (i.e., quantum information) is important, for example in the concept of quantum entanglement to describe effectively direct or causal relationships between apparently distinct or spatially separated particles.
The information embodied by a thing can thus be said to be the identity of the particular thing itself, that is, all of its properties, all that makes it distinct from other (real or potential) things. It is a complete description of the thing, but in a sense that is divorced from any particular language.

“modern cosmology’s brightest star”… yep, vale

From observations of Hawking’s carer/transator in action, I would hypothesise that Hawking had totally ceased to communicate and that the carer was acting like one of skinners pigeons, I.e. making up utterances out of thin air.

Not too bad for an observer, he was continually being entertained.

What sort of form would it be in I wonder
Perhaps the interior of a black hole recreates whatever gets pulled into it

It takes an infinite time (as seen by an outside observer) for the information to reach the event horizon. So the information is always still there, encoded in the fine structure just outside the event horizon.

But Hawking’s new idea is that the information doesn’t make it inside the black hole at all. Instead, it’s permanently encoded in a 2D hologram at the surface of the black hole’s event horizon, or the field surrounding each black hole which represents its point of no return.
Information is stored in the form of what are known as super translations.
“The idea is the super translations are a hologram of the ingoing particles,” Hawking said. “Thus they contain all the information that would otherwise be lost.”
This information is emitted in the quantum fluctuations that black holes produce, albeit in “chaotic, useless form,” Hawking said. “For all practical purposes the information is lost.”
Gifted Colombia kids pay tribute to hero Hawking
Bogota (AFP) – Gifted children at the Stephen Hawking school in Colombia’s capital Bogota have been paying a special tribute to the astrophysicist whose life inspired them to study science.
Students have covered walls of the school with drawings, photographs and cards in memory of the wheelchair-bound Hawking, who died Wednesday aged 76.
The school named after Hawking was founded in 1995 by a group of teachers committed to helping children with low resources but high IQs.
Dora Pardo, who runs the school, said several past pupils have gone on to study physics and mathematics at university.
