There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.
Stephen Hawking

The Simpsons is the best thing on American television.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.
Stephen Hawking
Image
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking

It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.
Stephen Hawking

It should soon be possible dramatically to increase the intelligence and life span of a few individuals. They and their offspring could become a master race. Evolution pays no regard to social justice. It was not fair on the Neanderthals they were replaced by modern humans.

I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.
Stephen Hawking

We've created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking

Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behavior.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. We need to look outward to the wider universe.
Stephen Hawking

thus, in a sense, we are all doomed. even if we stay away from black holes
Stephen Hawking
Image
In this way, Edwin Hubble worked out the distances to nine different galaxies. We now know that our galaxy is only one of some hundred thousand million that can be seen using modern telescopes, each galaxy itself containing some hundred thousand million stars.
Stephen Hawking

The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking
Image
One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
