World-renowned physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking passed away Wednesday morning at the age of 76. He is perhaps best known to the scientific world for his theory surrounding black holes, predicting that this dark phenomena in space emits radiation, which would later be known as “Hawking radiation.” His book A Brief History of Time, first published in 1988, went on to become a huge success, selling at least 10 million copies in 40 different languages.

Hawking’s appeal has also crossed over to mainstream popular culture, appearing on four episodes of The Simpsons, multiple episodes of The Big Bang Theory, and two episodes of Futurama. In 2014, a movie based upon his life called The Theory of Everything was given a worldwide release, grossing $123.7 million. At the 2015 Academy Awards, the performer who player Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) went onto win an Oscar for Best Actor.
When Hawking was 21-years-old, he was told by his doctor that he only had a few years to live due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This disease gradually paralyzed Hawking over the decades, causing him to be conditioned to a wheelchair and relying upon a speech-generating device for vocal communication to the outside world. Despite the odds stacked against him, Hawking continued his scientific ventures, becoming a iconic figure in his profession.
Let’s take a look at some of Stephen Hawking’s best quotes and most famous sayings.
