Can we get a memorial to Stephen Hawking?

General Discussion

One the greatest minds of our age was lost today, who through his genius pushed the boundaries of science like only a few before him. So i am proposing that there is a little nod to hawking.

I think the easiest one to do is to name the telescope on Horizon to the Hawking telescope. nothing major just Hawkings last name somewhere on the telescope.

Hawking always looked towards the future thats why im proposing the telescope.

Jus as any others are dying in every secound.
Yes he was a huge brain, but that doesn’t mean we should feel more sad about his death than any other persons death (except if that person is a killer :D)

Personally i dont think theres a reason since no connection to the game, but seeing as his work is mostly about black holes and gravity a tiny hawk on one of zarya’s guns could be a neat way to do it

They should make a clip about Zarya doing something I guess.

You know… black holes.

This would be a lovely idea. They have brought up Turing before, so why not Hawking? :slight_smile:

There are a lot of people who done as much as him or even more than him, yet they get no mention in OW. Why? Because they have no connection to game.

Just cause Hawking died recently doesn’t means he should get memorial in game he has no connection to.

Great minds should always get special mention.

I also never said he should be in the game.

I swear, this is a recurring thing on these forums. People putting words in my mouth…

Stephen Hawking was a physicist, and this is a game all about the progression of humanity through science. Zarya even creates black holes, one of his most prominent lines of study. How wouldn’t he fit?
