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?

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
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
More often than politicians, but not as often as they should.
Stephen Hawking
Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.
Stephen Hawking
[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.
Stephen Hawking
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?
Stephen Hawking
It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.
Stephen Hawking
I think computer viruses should count as life.
Stephen Hawking
If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.
Stephen Hawking
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
Stephen Hawking
Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
Stephen Hawking
A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
Stephen Hawking
If at first you don't succeed, try management.
Stephen Hawking
It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
Stephen Hawking
The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.
Stephen Hawking
I like physics, but I love cartoons.
Stephen Hawking
Not to take this web of dualities as a sign we are on the right track would be a bit like believing that God put fossils into the rocks in order to mislead Darwin about the evolution of life.
Stephen Hawking
