Such a brilliant mind stuck in a broken body. Now cracks a noble heart; Good night sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. - Hamlet, Act V, Scene ii

I would love to hear the conversation between him and God right now.

I would love to hear the conversation between him and God right now.

I’m pretty sure He’s learning a lot. And Hawking probably is, too.

I would love to hear the conversation between him and God right now.

Particularly since Hawking didn’t believe in Him.

May the angels welcome him to paradise, may the martyrs greet him on his way; may he see the face of God this day. (An old catholic hymn spoke at funerals.)

What could be considered his parting warning was about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence and the development of autonomous weapons. Let's listen to that.

A mind that will be missed.

It would be nice if we could listen to him, but we are not where we can hear those kinds of sounds.
