If there is indeed a Book With all the answers for those who look A reward for meeting the suffering of life At long last, solace from Uncertainty's knife The nature of time and human intelligence Revealed amidst tales of Universal adolescence He is certainly reading it now And he deserves this feeling of wow A man cursed by a God who plays dice A man for whom physics was paradise A man who ventured far into paradox A man who sought to live despite Death’s knocks A man who fought to explain quantum gravity A man who lived with gratitude and levity A man who taught us all Alas, he too must fall
RIP Stephen Hawking
