English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking passed away mid-month, and while I don't pretend to understand his cosmological equations, I admire him for his numerous achievements despite being confined to a wheelchair. Stricken with Lou Gehrig's disease, his body muscles withered away but his mind remained sharp as ever. Said to be the most influential scientific mind since Einstein, his indomitable will to contribute to the body of human knowledge despite great odds remains the best lesson for us all.
