And celebrity astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said that Hawking’s passing has left an ‘intellectual vacuum’.
His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake. But it's not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating the fabric of spacetime that defies measure. Stephen Hawking, RIP 1942-2018. pic.twitter.com/nAanMySqkt
Eddie Redmayne, who played Stephen Hawking in the movie The Theory of Everything released a statement:
We have lost a truly beautiful mind, an astonishing scientist and the funniest man I have ever had the pleasure to meet. My love and thoughts are with his extraordinary family.
NASA shared one of Professor Hawking’s happiest moments to their Twitter account.
In this video, you can hear Hawking speak about the experience he had at a NASA Space Station in 2007.
In 2007, I was lucky enough to experience microgravity on the Zero G flight. For me, this was true freedom. People who know me well, say that my smile was the biggest they’d ever seen. I was Superman for those few minutes.
Jonathon Ross was among many celebrities to applaud Hawking’s sense of humour and joy.
RIP Stephen Hawking. The world just dropped a lot of IQ points. And, he was a fun person. Very sad news.
And Errol Morris, director of biographical documentary ‘A Brief History of Time’.
It had to happen, eventually. We were lucky to have him for so long, and I was lucky to be able to work with him. A truly fabulous human being. Stephen Hawking. Funny, perverse, and, of course, brilliant.
It turns out that Hawking loved the Larry Flynt gag in his episode of The Simpsons.
Stephen Hawking voiced himself on The Simpsons nearly a dozen times. After once making a bold scientific statement, Homer backed him up, saying “Larry Flynt is right!” Apparently, both Hawking and Flynt have gone on the record saying they found this incredibly funny. pic.twitter.com/Eus69emZfM

Stephen Hawking once said, "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first." RIP Professor Hawking, and may we all strive to live as fully as he did.
