This morning I was going to write a review for a book I recieved for my Birthday on Monday . . but that's gonna have to wait now till later today.

Because I've just got out of bed, only to learn from BBC News that world renound Scientist, Professor Stephen William Hawking, has sadly passed away at the age of 76 :(

I'm not a Scientist myself, but I've always had the utmost respect for this remarkable man, remarkable because dispite his crippling Motor Neuron Disease, he never gave up on life - EVER ! - and he had the most remarkable mind, perhaps THE most remarkable mind of any of us out of the rest of humanity, he was perhaps the best of all humanity dispite his condition, and let's face it, this man was better then so many other Human beings on this Earth, the kind we dispise for being evil, heartless, cruel and utter, upright scum . . . . this man was perhaps, dispite his condition, the perfect Human being, and I only wish his intellect was not lost . . there will never be another Human being like Professor Stephen Hawking No, I disagree!

Stephen is just of those people you've grown up knowing about from time to time. Seeing his face at times on TV, in a magazine or mentioned in a book, and I sure heard about him quite often down the years growing up, his just one of those people you sometimes hear off even if you don't know that much about them.

One thing I have often hated about most people is, sadly, from some fellow Doctor Who fan's, who I think have often in my view been rather cruel in comparing Steven to the Dalek creator Davros, just because both are A) Scientists, and B) confined to a bloody wheelchair for the rest of their natural lives, and I don't think it's kind comparing Stephen to Davros considering that Stephen was not an evil man for a start, and was very much the better person as he appreciated life then would rather try to destroy it . . yes I get that Davros is just a fictional character ! - but even still, I think it's a cruel thing to compare Stephen with the character of Davros, and I think any Doctor Who fan who's ever joked about Stephen like that down the years should go away and hang their heads in shame No, I disagree!

Stephen had offcourse appeared in character in two very well known TV series. He had once starred in Matt Groening's 'The Simpson's', and one time as a holographic character in 'Star Trek - The Next Generation'. He had also appeared on a documentary for the Science Fiction comedy 'Red Dwarf' called 'Red Dwarf A to Z' in which he once claimed he enjoyed the episode 'Back to Reality', and that unlike most Science Fiction series, 'Red Dwarf' did not try to be politically correct, and that it allowed itself to do stories in situations that 'Star Trek' would never dare touch. I sure do wish the BBC had got Stephen to appear as himself on Doctor Who, he'd probably would have been a fantastic guest star, and now I imagine it in my mind, the idea of the Doctor bringing Stephen into the Tardis and having him study the Tardis console and tell the Doctor what he think's of his Tardis would have been the most remarkable thing I think the series could have ever done for a real world Scientist Nod

A few years ago, there was the biopic film 'The Theory of Everything' starring Eddie Redmayne as the man himself. I remember seeing the film out of respect for the great man, and I thought Eddie's performance was truly convincing that I started to believe that he had Motor Neuron Disease as well, but he real life offcourse he doesn't. I've got the film on DVD, and I really must watch it again someday out of respect for Stephen now his gone. When I bought the DVD, the book seen beside it in this photograph, which I got from a local Sainsbury's supermarket, came free if you got the film on DVD . . and out of shame I've never really bothered to read any of it ! . . I do feel bad now about it now that Stephen is gone, but I will hopefully get round to it one day in my life . . if ever.

The Theory of Everything  by DoctorWhoOne

I just can't believe that great man, perhaps the utter BEST Human this planet has ever produced, and there will NEVER be another Human being quite like him in terms of his intelligence, ever again I feel . . no matter high or low the intelligence of every other person on this god forsaking rock might be, his mind was the brightest of all humanity . . . . . . . if not the BEST Nod

R.I.P. Professor Stephen William Hawking - 8th January 1942 - 14th March 2018, age 76.

They'll never be another like him. He was given 2 years to live when he was diagnosed, that was 55 years ago when he was 21.
