loveThemLulz
Just found out through this post of his death :( sad face
slackeroh
He was also born exactly 300 years after Galileo's death
ZeFrenchCanadian
Stephen Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death and died on the same day Albert Einstein was born
vathu
Today’s also MY birthday. Kind of sad news to wake up to.

Those 2 Will have a great time together in heaven

Pi day? 3/14
usecompiled
and also Marx
abundantbadgers
And Einstein 2 will die on Stephen Hawking's birthday. The cycle continues until the Unified Field Theory is complete.
hazanshu
Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson are going to be really nervous every March 14th from now on.
marycj5324
A brilliant mind has left this earth, to be one with the universe he loved so much....????
poobahh
Didn't he die on the 13th?

So Einstein born the same day Stephen Hawkins died, this make you think

I hate to be that guy... but he died the day before

Except he died on the 14th in the UK, which is where he lived.

now check date of death of Karl Marx

He also died on my birthday. TIL Einstein is exactly 103 years older than me.

Happy birthday fellow birthday skeleton.

Maybe someone smarter or as smart has been born today

My son's birthday is March 14, 2012. I just realized this now...

Karl Marx also died March 14.

It's also my birthday! R.I.P Mr. Hawking you changed the world in so many ways.

That reminds me; it's also Steak and BJ day. Which reminds me that I will be getting neither of those.

Ben & Jerry's can fix that.

I need to get some steak then.

Not from Stephen Hawking at least

Well, there's always April 18th.

It's Pi Day too.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Not with that attitude. The Steak part is easy. The BJ just depends on what you're willing to spend. Directly paying for it is cheapest.
AudaciousCheeseburger
I've heard some strip clubs serve steak, so maybe you could knock both out in one place. Efficiency is important.

You mean he died while cheating on his with with his nurse? Because that is how he rolled.

Wasn't his wife cheating on him too?
blooregardqkazoo
Yeah, he slayed. Google it.
CatBlaster5000
I did, I can't find how he died, all that I'm seeing was that he went "peacefully".
mohansen
Probably complications from ALS.
CatBlaster5000
Than what does this dude mean by "he slayed. Google it." He just talkin about puss in general exclusive from death circumstances?
cntdn
Maybe referring to the fact that he outlived his doctor's estimate by 53 years?

It's only Pi day in the US and a couple other countries that use the wrong date format. It would be 14/03/18 for Hawkin because he's smart.
Vesane
I'm surprised more people don't leap to Calling it "American Pi day"
2401twitchy
we still celebrate pi day today, my friend. we may be smart but we still need an excuse to bake pie with the pi symbol on it
doctorbocker
Also, because he lived in England.
shhep
He studied at Oxford and graduated Cambridge, both of which celebrate Pi Day. You were saying?
Gronsak
it's also Pi day according to ISO 8601 also known as the standardised way of writing dates, YYYY/MM/DD i.e. 2018/03/14
votfgz
Nope, it'd be 18/03/14 for him.
MrWobblyHead
Or he may have gone one better and used YYYY/MM/DD - HH/MM/SS.
bjo23
ISO format FTW!
shhep
No it's not. It's international Pi day and physicist in Poland (which uses the normal date format, mind you) celebrate each Pi day with

Yeah. For everywhere else in the sophisticated parts of the world, Pi Day is instead celebrated on the 3rd day of the 14th month.

"14th of March"

Inefficient
sky64
In my own language it's even "14 March". Day goes first because it has priority, as it changes ~30x as often as the month. :)
scoundr3l
So you state the time starting with the minutes? They change 60x as often as the hours
MrWobblyHead
The fourteenth of March, two thousand eighteen

Ahhh, now it makes sense. “March fourteenth, twenty eighteen” is fewer words, that’s why Americans prefer it. Because you’re all morons.

Since they're 2 independent events and deaths and births are normal events we can use bayes therom. (1+1/365+2)+(1+1/365+2)= 4/734 = 2/367
bruhwhyiscovfefeisaldreadytaken
So....
numnumz
The odds aren't 1 in 365 they are in fact 1 in 183.5
harley07babe
Wasn’t he also born on Galileo’s 300th birthday?
TacoCreator
Honest question here. Would the odds be altered by days or dates that are more common to have a person die (i.e. weekends)?
thealmightywalrus420
At that point it would depend on the person and cause of death. People probably die by accident more on the weekend what with booze and such
TacoCreator
So can we simply put it at 1/365.25 (ish)?
s0bere
The more parameters you consider the odds go up

But then factor in the relationship in science Einstein and Hawking had together, and the fact Einstein was the best mathematician in the...
Trolldeig
Einstein was a physicist, and nowhere close to other giants in mathematics, like Euler, Newton, Gauss etc.
Jrex42
But factor in that there are other significant dates in science... Interesting coincidence, but really nothing crazy.
cutofyojib
He also was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death.
Jrex42
And?
BillogUncle
... world, and how he was born on Pi day. It's all too coincidental. Just like how George Michael died last Christmas.
ButtTrumpett
No that’s literally what the word coincidence means

cyanideslushie
Most widely known maybe, but idk about best.

At the time maybe... In history probably not.
applesforjuice

FinscothDennehy
Yeah it's all too coincidental. Must be God killing people off for shits and giggles.
IncorrektGramerNazi
half of that- since we would've also said "how freaky" if he died on the same day as Einstein's death
JHawke
Try and die on a day where nothing worthwhile happened, I dare you :p
KamiSawZe
Paradox being that it would be significant if I died. Might be easier for these people though.
JHawke
Walking besides your shoes is hardly a feet of historic significance ;)
KamiSawZe
Thank you, learned a new idiom today.
Dwerioc
What, you mean like my birthday?
JHawke
I suppose that would count as cosmic significance, it'll be at least 5094 years and 7 days before someone that ugly comes along again.

There's plenty of other days that would've triggered that reaction as well
