Stephen Hawking was an amazing scientist. He was the first person to explain cosmology with a combination of the relativity and quantum mechanics.
Yes he was amazing.  He recently passed away, right?

That's interesting.  Did he live in Europe or in the United States?  Do you know?

Sutter briefly met Stephen Hawking while at the University of Cambridge. He stated that Hawking helped to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, he was his mentor, and we should celebrate his tenacity and accomplishments. 
Sutter does research and gives commentary on general relativity, the physics that created the Big Bang, cosmology, the death of stars, astrophotography, magnetars, and dark energy.
