According to the Edmonton Sun, famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has been taken to the hospital and is quite ill.

Hawking has been credited with bringing theoretical physics to the masses.  His books A Brief History of Time (a personal favorite) and The Universe in a Nutshell, allowed the average reader significant insight into a world which, previously, had only been available to the academic elite.  One of his passions is to reach the regular person with his work and he has made several different appearances on popular television shows to help promote it.  Here are a couple of examples:

Star Trek TNG

Simpsons

All of our best goes out to you, Stephen.
