As the world reels from the demise of Stephen Hawking, one of the colossal science minds in all of history, admirers are taking some comfort in a couple of happenstances encompassing Hawking’s birthday and the date of his passing.

It’s for some time been realized that Hawking’s birthday, January 8, 1942, fell on the 300th commemoration of the demise of another incredible science mind, Galileo Galilei.

Be that as it may, the day of his demise, in the early hours of March 14, 2018 at his home in Cambridge, England, happened to agree with the birthday of yet another virtuoso: Albert Einstein, conceived March 14, 1879.

> Stephen Hawking was born January 8, 1942, on the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death. He died today, March 14th, on the anniversary of Einstein’s birth. Time is circular – no beginning, no end.

> Stephen Hawking died on Einstein’s birthday, and was born on the 300th anniversary of the death of Galileo.

> 3 giants of modern cosmology.
> How symbolic.

> Stephen Hawking was born on the 300th death anniversary of Galileo Galilei, and died on the 139th birth anniversary of Albert Einstein.

> Gravity is indeed deterministic.

> Stephen Hawking has died on Albert Einstein’s birthday. After all, Time is relative.#stephenhawking

One more note: March 14 is likewise Pi Day — 3/14, 3.14, get it? — a math-related occasion (not to be mistaken for, say, Pie Day). Comparing Hawking with what may appear like a senseless “occasion” in view of a numerical occurrence may appear to be pointless and like its limiting Hawking’s virtuoso and achievements.

However, Hawking had a comical inclination about things (any individual who’s seen his cameos on The Simpsons know this) and interfacing Hawking to a day about math is not really the most exceedingly terrible approach to recall him.

Obviously, Hawking’s virtuoso, and also Einstein’s and Galileo’s, are enormity that far surpasses such luck.

Be that as it may, that these three extraordinary personalities by one means or another, regardless of how digressively, are associated by anything is a really decent contention for the presence of enormous string that ties everything together. Also, in a period of disorder, there’s strangely something agreeable about that.
