Goodbye Stephen Hawking on Pi Day

Stephen Hawking the great scientist passed away at 76. Read about it.

Good bye sir. You are THE most well known modern day scientist since Einstein. You have beats the odd: the doctors say you can't survive 2 years after diagnosed with that neuron disease that binded you to the wheel chairs. You probably outlived that doctor. Though you can't speak or move but fortunately there are machines that help you write out all the amazing works.

The "Brief History of Time" is such classic. I am glad to have read it in college. Will definitely buy another copy, the annotated version to read it at least once more. Being brilliant is one thing, being brilliant and still able to communicate to layman is another.

That "On the Shoulder of Giants" and "God Created the Integers" perhaps I will get one day.. when I have a big bookshelf.

Now to the world: Do not forget what he warned: AI can destroy the world!.

Now about π day. It is unfortunate I didn't learn another thing about π lately. If I say Happy Pi Day on facebook or something arrows shoot at me saying eeew you geek and nerdy! To those people I'll throw pie at their face. π These bozos don't even have a clue what π is.
