More quotes by Stephen Hawking
So long as the Universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the Universe is really completely self-contained, it would have neither beginning or end, it would simply be. What place then for a creator?
Stephen Hawking
We waste time, so you don't have to.
Stephen Hawking
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.
Stephen Hawking
One could say: The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary. The universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It would just BE.
Stephen Hawking
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
Stephen Hawking
When I get to heaven I'm gonna find the guy in charge of the weather and kick his rear.
Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking
Computer viruses are alive.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college I was too busy enjoying myself.
Stephen Hawking
The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.
Stephen Hawking
I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no end.
Stephen Hawking
To boldly go where no one has gone before
Stephen Hawking
Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.
Stephen Hawking
Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born
Stephen Hawking
The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.
Stephen Hawking
Why do we remember the past, but not the future?
Stephen Hawking
I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking
Maybe my variety is due to bad absorption of vitamins.
Stephen Hawking
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
Stephen Hawking
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking
