I thought Hawking died YESTERDAY?
usecompiled
and also Marx
abundantbadgers
And Einstein 2 will die on Stephen Hawking's birthday. The cycle continues until the Unified Field Theory is complete.
vathu
Today’s also MY birthday. Kind of sad news to wake up to.
slackeroh
He was also born exactly 300 years after Galileo's death
hazanshu
Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson are going to be really nervous every March 14th from now on.

Rest in PIEce...

Those 2 Will have a great time together in heaven

He also died on my birthday. TIL Einstein is exactly 103 years older than me.

Happy birthday fellow birthday skeleton.

now check date of death of Karl Marx
Hovenbeet
Karl Marx also died March 14.
ToucanSonofSam
ironic since his followers get no pie ever again

So Einstein born the same day Stephen Hawkins died, this make you think

He uh... died yesterday morning.

It was past midnight in the UK

I hate to be that guy... but he died the day before

Except he died on the 14th in the UK, which is where he lived.

It's also my birthday! R.I.P Mr. Hawking you changed the world in so many ways.

Happy birthday fellow birthday dude.

Happy birthday to you too

Stephen Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death and died on the same day Albert Einstein was born

Didn't he die on the 13th?

You’ll never guess this, but they also both lived on Earth. Incredible concertdance.

And Einstein's secretary was named Stephen, and Hawkings secretary was named Albert.

You mean he died while cheating on his with with his nurse? Because that is how he rolled.
StuckInBetweeen
Wasn't his wife cheating on him too?
blooregardqkazoo
Yeah, he slayed. Google it.
CatBlaster5000
I did, I can't find how he died, all that I'm seeing was that he went "peacefully".
mohansen
Probably complications from ALS.
CatBlaster5000
Than what does this dude mean by "he slayed. Google it." He just talkin about puss in general exclusive from death circumstances?
cntdn
Maybe referring to the fact that he outlived his doctor's estimate by 53 years?

That reminds me; it's also Steak and BJ day. Which reminds me that I will be getting neither of those.

It's Pi Day too.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Not from Stephen Hawking at least
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Not with that attitude. The Steak part is easy. The BJ just depends on what you're willing to spend. Directly paying for it is cheapest.
AudaciousCheeseburger
I've heard some strip clubs serve steak, so maybe you could knock both out in one place. Efficiency is important.

s0bere
The more parameters you consider the odds go up
IncorrektGramerNazi
half of that- since we would've also said "how freaky" if he died on the same day as Einstein's death
cool299
There's plenty of other days that would've triggered that reaction as well
IncorrektGramerNazi
exactly, makes the odds even more likely
cool299
Yeah, I was in agreement with you
cool299
Newton's birth/death day, e day, I can probably list some more if I wasn't lazy
WardSharlow
Galileo, Copernicus, Brahe, Fermi, Bohr, Sagan, Feynman, Curie, etc.
Sankrew
Not even mentioning my man Faraday.
JHawke
Try and die on a day where nothing worthwhile happened, I dare you :p
KamiSawZe
Paradox being that it would be significant if I died. Might be easier for these people though.
JHawke
Walking besides your shoes is hardly a feet of historic significance ;)
KamiSawZe
Thank you, learned a new idiom today.
Dwerioc
What, you mean like my birthday?
JHawke
I suppose that would count as cosmic significance, it'll be at least 5094 years and 7 days before someone that ugly comes along again.

TacoCreator
Honest question here. Would the odds be altered by days or dates that are more common to have a person die (i.e. weekends)?
thealmightywalrus420
At that point it would depend on the person and cause of death. People probably die by accident more on the weekend what with booze and such
TacoCreator
So can we simply put it at 1/365.25 (ish)?

Since they're 2 independent events and deaths and births are normal events we can use bayes therom. (1+1/365+2)+(1+1/365+2)= 4/734 = 2/367
bruhwhyiscovfefeisaldreadytaken
So....

The odds aren't 1 in 365 they are in fact 1 in 183.5
BillogUncle
But then factor in the relationship in science Einstein and Hawking had together, and the fact Einstein was the best mathematician in the...
Trolldeig
Einstein was a physicist, and nowhere close to other giants in mathematics, like Euler, Newton, Gauss etc.

... world, and how he was born on Pi day. It's all too coincidental. Just like how George Michael died last Christmas.
FinscothDennehy
Yeah it's all too coincidental. Must be God killing people off for shits and giggles.
ButtTrumpett
No that’s literally what the word coincidence means

cyanideslushie
Most widely known maybe, but idk about best.

At the time maybe... In history probably not.
applesforjuice

Jrex42
But factor in that there are other significant dates in science... Interesting coincidence, but really nothing crazy.
cutofyojib
He also was born on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death.
Jrex42
And?
MrWobblyHead
It's only Pi day in the US and a couple other countries that use the wrong date format. It would be 14/03/18 for Hawkin because he's smart.
MrWobblyHead
Or he may have gone one better and used YYYY/MM/DD - HH/MM/SS.
bjo23
ISO format FTW!
Vesane
I'm surprised more people don't leap to Calling it "American Pi day"
shhep
No it's not. It's international Pi day and physicist in Poland (which uses the normal date format, mind you) celebrate each Pi day with
shhep
wacky shit during the science fairs.
2401twitchy
we still celebrate pi day today, my friend. we may be smart but we still need an excuse to bake pie with the pi symbol on it
Gronsak
it's also Pi day according to ISO 8601 also known as the standardised way of writing dates, YYYY/MM/DD i.e. 2018/03/14
doctorbocker
Also, because he lived in England.
shhep
He studied at Oxford and graduated Cambridge, both of which celebrate Pi Day. You were saying?
votfgz
Nope, it'd be 18/03/14 for him.
OaksParcel
Yeah. For everywhere else in the sophisticated parts of the world, Pi Day is instead celebrated on the 3rd day of the 14th month.

In my own language it's even "14 March". Day goes first because it has priority, as it changes ~30x as often as the month. :)

So you state the time starting with the minutes? They change 60x as often as the hours

In Canada, we write mm/dd/yyyy (usually) but in speech it can go either way.

Ahhh, now it makes sense. “March fourteenth, twenty eighteen” is fewer words, that’s why Americans prefer it. Because you’re all morons.
