R.I.P. Stephen Hawking

He was one of the greatest scientists to have ever lived. I hope his legacy won't be forgotten and his predictions will be remembered. Besides being a great scientist, he also was a great man, strong enough to look beyond his physical disabilities and a good communicator, making complex physics understandable to everyone. His death was a great loss to all of us. Also it is a really interesting coincidence, that today is also the Pi day and the birth anniversary of Albert Einstein, another one of the greatest physicians to have lived.

Also today is Estonian(language) day, celebrated on birth anniversary of Kristjan Jaak Peterson, the father of Estonian national literature.
