British physicist Stephen Hawking, who made ground-breaking contributions to the world of cosmology and quantum physics through his black hole theory, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday.
Born on Jan. 8, 1942—the death anniversary of great philosopher and scientist Galileo—Hawkins passed away peacefully at his home in Cambridge, on the birth anniversary of another great scientist Albert Einstein.
As the news was confirmed, people across the globe took to Twitter to express their condolences.

R.I.P. Stephen Hawking. Among his many profound contributions to this world was this simple sentiment: “It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.”
Sad to hear of the passing of scientist Stephen Hawking. His brilliant mind made our world and our universe a less mysterious place. And his courage and resilience will remain an inspiration for generations #PresidentKovind

I rarely cry at the death of people I don't know personally, but the announcement of the passing of Stephen Hawking just brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful genius this earth has lost.
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
RIP Stephen Hawking. A major loss to the scientific community & to the millions he inspired through his work and life. Condolences to the family.
