However brief, a voice broken
down to its components
is still a voice. Telling us
what we don’t want
to hear, what we want to hear.
Even silenced, it opens
our eyes, possibilities
in black and white
closer to reality.
for Stephen William Hawking (1942-2018)

The world will miss him. It seemed he would live forever – and maybe he will. New dimensions to explore, perhaps….
