Absolutely. He's of a type

Absolutely. He's of a type that only comes around every few centuries, so let's keep him for some more laps of the sun.

Cheers, Mike.

A Nobel would be outstanding - however a basic requirement of the physics award is experimental confirmation. So if you're way out ahead of the pack then the lag can exceed one's lifetime, and Nobel's aren't given posthumously.

I have been thinking about

I have been thinking about this all day after I heard about it on the news here (monday) and I figured this would be the place to check to see if anyone mentioned this.

Get well soon Stephen Hawking!
