Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?

More quotes by 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
Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
Stephen Hawking
Science makes God unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy.
Stephen Hawking
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking
The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.
Stephen Hawking
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God.
Stephen Hawking
One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
Stephen Hawking
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.
Stephen Hawking
Once I wept for I had no shoes. Then I met a man with no feet, so I took his shoes. I mean, it wasn't as if he was going to need them.
Stephen Hawking
Computer viruses are alive.
Stephen Hawking
Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!
Stephen Hawking
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Stephen Hawking
Not to leave planet Earth would be like castaways on a desert island not trying to escape...Sending humans to other planets ... will shape the future of the human race in ways we don't yet understand, and may determine whether we have any future at all.
Stephen Hawking
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
Stephen Hawking
God abhors a naked singularity.
Stephen Hawking
I have to speak through a computer... in my mind, I am free. Free to explore the universe and ask the big questions...
Stephen Hawking
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over.
Stephen Hawking
