Farewell, Mr Hawking. I’ll always look up.

[thehubby]

With Stephen Hawking’s passing, today is a sad day for science. But amongst all his praise and achievements in the fields of physics, for me personally his biggest achievement was making a grand, full life despite the terrible misfortune of being diagnosed with ALS. It would have been easy to become a recluse, embittered with the hand he’d been dealt, a brilliant misanthrope. But this was a man who maintained his sense of humor and refused to be mentally beaten. Three years ago, he told One Direction fans that the theory of alternate universes could provide a reality where Zayn Malik was still in the band. He conducted an interview with John Oliver where his factual, deadpan delivery was funnier than his interviewer, managing the cheekiest grins as he did so. And let us not forget that Stephen Hawking is the only person to have ever portrayed themselves in a Star Trek episode (Next Generation, “Descent, Part 1″), where he appeared alongside actors portraying Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton, whom he proceeded to defeat in poker.

Hawking’s observations on black hole radiation, string theory, alternate universes and artificial intelligence are things that will probably forever remain beyond most of us. But we could all learn a thing or two from his humanity.

Name a more iconic duo than my fear of abandonment and instinct to self isolate, I’ll wait.

this is an appreciation post to the people who created the artificial gravity controls in star trek. no matter the emergency, no matter how little power the ship has, no matter how completely nonsensical it is for it to function, that thing is. not. turning. off.

If Saru is 6'8" I’m scared to see what the predator species looks like

[combustion-man]

what i want is for like in every episode lt. saru says some shit like “my species was created for one purpose…” but changes it every time and none of the crew knows why he exists but they love him anyway and we just got his most dramatic one in the trailer

[lizard-ly]

I just want a minute to think about how Saru’s entire species is defined by fear and all of their instincts are honed towards sensing danger and fleeing

and as the first member of his species to join Starfleet (an organisation which may talk a lot of big talk about peaceful exploration but is ultimately a military organisation which expects their members to be willing to put themselves in danger) Saru is defying both his innate biology and his socialisation to stand on the bridge of a ship knowing that he must be prepared to do battle

I just want to think for a bit not about his fear but about how extraordinarily brave and resilient he is to even be there. he’s gonna be one of the bravest characters on the show and I want to see that acknowledged  

the writers had better take good care of him and  I don’t want to see anyone infantilizing him because seeing a symbol of anxiety be defined by their bravery is something that a lot of people desperately need

[coyblythe]

concept: a star trek discovery drinking game but instead of drinking you squeal delightedly every time saru appears on the screen

I love everything about Sylvia Tilly, from her big hair to her even bigger heart.
