More quotes by Stephen Hawking
Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.
Stephen Hawking
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.
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
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen Hawking
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.
Stephen Hawking
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking
Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and given two and a half years to live. I have always wondered how they could be so precise about the half.
Stephen Hawking
Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.
Stephen Hawking
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control. It was a natural next step to want to know how the universe works.
Stephen Hawking
I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.
Stephen Hawking
If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well.
Stephen Hawking
In real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break down.
Stephen Hawking
It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up.
Stephen Hawking
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Stephen Hawking
I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.
Stephen Hawking
If at first you don't succeed, try management.
Stephen Hawking
My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.
Stephen Hawking
Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.
Stephen Hawking
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
