# BBC News: Physicist Stephen Hawking dies aged 76

[Stephen Hawking died ](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43396008)[yesterday](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43396008)[:](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43396008)

> The British theoretical physicist was known for his groundbreaking work with black holes and relativity, and was the author of several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.

I’m a huge fan of Stephen Hawking and genuinely *love* “A Brief History of Time”, so this news really bums me out.
