I can only think of what more he had to share with the world. We can only hope someone else in the future generations will take the reigns of ingenuity held by the likes of Hawking, Einstein and many others going back.

Yes, Season 10 episode “They Saved Lisa’s Brain.”
A reference to that is included in the 3rd link.

It strikes me as a tad unfair that Stephen Hawking got the full Poets' Corner treatment with one equation, whereas James Clerk Maxwell has four equations named after him and is buried in a remote rural churchyard. Oh well.
