Fans demand posthumous Nobel Prize for Stephen Hawking

March 15, 2018 17:00

Fans have taken to Twitter to demand posthumous Nobel Prize for theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking, who died peacefully on Wednesday, March 14.

After the news of Hawking's death broke the internet, a fan shared a picture of the scientist and wrote, "R.I.P. Stephen Hawking. #StephenHawking. Posthumous Nobel. It's time".

One fan tweeted, "Could not be more true - maybe just name a prize for him as well - a mind that could see time and space in a new way and remain connected enough and caring enough to try and explain it to the rest of us. We were lucky to have met him."

Another fan wrote, "He doesn't need a posthumous award. The inscription on the tomb of Sur Christopher Wren would be a perfect citation for the achievement of Professor Hawking. LECTOR SI MONUMENTUM REQUIRIS CIRCUMSPICE".

While the late Stephen Hawking has always been regarded as one of the most brilliant minds in the science, the renowned physicist was eluded by arguably the world's most prestigious award, the Nobel Prize, his entire career.
