A footnote to add:

I spoke to one of the caretakers today that works for the archived files for the Computer History Museum in San Jose.

Apparently, Stephen Hawkins computerized wheelchair is being highly sought after now in the near future.

His wheelchair was developed so that communication was possible with Stephen.
At first it was done with his hand. Then later, they modified it so he can speak using movement of his cheek muscle.

This technology created for him enabled to help others with debilitating conditions.

The debate now will likely end up in court: San Jose Computer History Museum vs. Cambridge.

Always enjoyed hearing what he had to say and trying to understand it.
Thinking about space/time/light always twists my mind.
RIP Mr. Hawking

Amazing he lived as long as he did !!
I wonder if he would have used his mind nearly as much if he had not been so disabilitated  :notsure:
