ContraBardus Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 This seemed the most appropriate place for this, as the most people who would understand just what we've lost with this news will frequent this area of the forums. He and his wife were apparently not wearing seatbelts. It always really bothers me when someone so smart dies from something so stupid. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32865248 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 They were in the back of a taxi cab. You don't normally wear seat belts in a taxi cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantheory Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Besides winning the Nobel Prize, last year he won another very prestigious prize for a different achievement. The movie also was very good. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I am so glad he was able to share with the world his remarkable genius and that his wife was a very supportive person. Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Nash and Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhim Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well if it softens the blow, he was a douchebag to his wife and they were divorced for a good many years. But yes, it's a loss to the mathematical community and to humanity as a whole. I at least take solace in the fact that we needn't search Christian scripture attempting to divine a reason for what is simply a tragic result of circumstance.
