Sad.  He discovered Hawking radiation.  Lost the debate against Leonard Susskind about information and black holes.

You strike me as a Quaker.

Are quakers the ones who believe earthquakes are caused by God suffering an epileptic seizure? :D

Dear Robina, you seem to know me better than me. I could definitely identify with Quakers.

I'm not as well rehearsed in pigeonholing behaviour types because I believe each individual is wonderfully unique and magical. But, if I had to choose, from the little selection choice I know of, I'd say you could be a Hippie hence should be mourning the loss of Hawkings.
