Professor Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76, a spokesman for his family said.

In a statement Professor Hawking's children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said: 'We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.

'He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years.

'His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world.

'He once said, "It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love." We will miss him forever.'

Thats extremely good for a man with Lou Gherigs disease. My dad passed away 6 months after diagnosis.

I will miss Stephen Hawking. His books and lectures opened my mind like no other author.

Funny thing is that everyone's sad about it, and I can't help but be a little sad, but I prefer to be happy. Think about it: someone who wasn't even supposed to reach 25 not only achieved a normal lifespan, but advanced science by leaps and bounds. That's what you call a full life.

He outlived Carl Sagan and all the other greats of their time.

It is a bit sad that we'll never find out what other amazing things might come from his head.

Not only was he a brilliant scientist but he was a good teacher who helped excite generations of people about the possibilities and mysteries of science.

What an inspiration this man is, from the darkest pits of black holes to pop culture to a man just flat out rejecting a crippleing disease that should have killled him decades ago. This man has touched many many souls in a positive way, a beacon and a lighthouse, thank you for your service Stephen, your legacy will be with mankind until the end of time.
