It is truly amazing that he lived this long, back in 1963 doctors gave him a life expectancy of two years. There are so few scientist celebrities. He will be missed.

P.S.
He wouldn't celebrate pi day... he's a Brit. Tomorrow (or his 'today') is 14-3-18

Truly, we've lost one of our best.

Brits can still have a "Phi day" (1-6-18) :smallwink:

True that. Logically, I know it was pretty amazing that he lived as long as he did, but . . . I don't know, it's hard to believe he's gone.

Sad day for any lover of science. RIP.
