I'm sure Frank has the right perspective on the science and the pop star bit, but as a doctor, I think the great unexplained mystery here, greater even than black holes etc., is how he managed to survive for so long with motor neurone disease which usually has a maximum life expectancy of 5 years. Some pretty unusual biology must have been going on here. I hope the medics who cared for him over the years examine in detail all the data and come up with a theory of everything to expalin it. Could be more profound and important than his own work in maths and physics. If not the top physics genius, at least a very interesting character I think.
