He has a degree in Industrial Engineering so it is likely he would have been at least exposed to, if not studied, his works.

It's always a disappointing reminder, on the rare occasions that I visit MacRumors anymore, that this community is still one of the most hateful and negative around. See you in another year or so.
I don't know. I would change apple.com to honor Stephen Hawkins. Apple used to do this.
What a delightful video clip!
Did you know that Stephen Hawking died on Albert Einstein's birthday, March 14?
Both Hawking and Einstein lived to 76 years of age.
Seems a little presumptuous, people who operate in these kinds of roles tend to be pretty well read.
Why is it that Mr T feels compelled to commemorate virtually every national holiday or current event?
So sorry he didn't satisfy you with his answers. Probably because it's a bloody difficult problem to solve.
The answer is that it came from the energy that was in the big bang. So the bigger question is, where did the energy come from?
I think it is prolly a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation
Some find fault on either end of the spectrum... "why did he recognize this or that?" or "why did he ignore this or that?"
Apparently he has opted to recognize things and comment rather than to not
Its called a "Theory". Whats so arrogant about that?
Just a thought. Define a Truth please. Your perception of Truth, maybe. The best defense in a trial, a witness. They get it wrong almost all the time. The truth right in front of their eyes. The mind changes the truth because of their biases and life experiences. Significant reason we have so much trouble getting along, defining Truth. What is truth, ones perception.
I've read 'A Brief History of Time' and I'm just a boring old fart of a Mechanical Engineer. Have you? Perhaps Tim has as well. After all more than 10 million were sold.
Its Truly unfortunate and pathetic almost this entire thread is full of frivolous debacle/snark “Apple” comments and disrespect to a man with his achievements and others can’t seem to respect that who are making disparaging comments over nothing.
Agreed, I don’t understand why we can’t celebrate the mans achievements without it being highjacked by the religious or Apple haters! Brilliant guy who achieved so much!

As a kid growing up, seeing this guy in Star Trek the next generation was awesome - this guy is a hero to my wife. We watched that movie that came out in 2014 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2980516/) - The Theory of Everything about him as well. I have his books on my to do list to read someday - picked up a few of them at old book stores / garage sales. Outside of that, I know very little of Hawkings and his work.
Really sad to see how this thread is turning out

of course Tim hand picks a quote of his with implications to the current political climate... guy is just shameless.
What?! I don't see this. Can we just remember a great man's passing?
