Letter March 15, 2018
While Hawking may have left us, his legacy shall live on

ISLAMABAD: The death of Stephen Hawking has left the world with an unsettling feeling of emptiness. On March 14th, Hawking peacefully passed away at the age of 76 in his house.

Hawking had not only contributed to physics but with his bestselling book A Brief History of Time, he became a household name that inspired many people to seek the meaning of life and understand the universe they live in better. His mental genius and a profound knowledge of not only the universe but the ever-changing dynamics of the world had inspired many to see beyond their societies they live in. While Hawking may have left us, his legacy shall live on.
