Aged 76.

Physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76, his family has said.

The Briton was known for his groundbreaking work with black holes and relativity, and was the author of several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.

His 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."
I know he's not really part of the "Hollywood" circle that we normally pay tribute to but he's such an influence for a lot of people that I felt this was worth posting.

It's insane that he got to live this long with ALS though. He's just been a gift to the world.
