Just before going home yesterday I got some bad news. Stephen Hawking is in the hospital.
He's been suffering from a chest infection for several weeks that has caused him to cancel some appearances. He's apparently doing well and they expect to release him soon, but after being rushed in they wanted to keep an eye on him.
Hawking is 67 years old. He's suffered from Lou Gehrig's Disease since he was 21. Last year he resigned from his post as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. He continues teaching classes and acts as Emeritus Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.
Please, get well, Steve. I'm not ready to post your obituary quite yet.

He is truly an amazing person! The world will be a different place without him
I just hope that isn't anytime soon
