You helped give the cosmos to the every day person.

So much respect for this super human! It's amazing to me he lived to the age he did with ALS and endured a great deal of his life trapped in that body with the mind that he had! Amazing! So much important contribution to the science of the universe.

I found this in The NY Times article:

Stephen was a mediocre student at St. Albans School in London, though his innate brilliance was recognized by some classmates and teachers.

Mediocre student. Blasphemy. I will start a petition for The NY Times to retract this statement.

By his own admission he was. He only became serious about his PhD when he was diagnosed with ALS.
