I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
In fact, if one considers the possible constants and laws that could have emerged, the odds against a universe that produced life like ours are immense.
Stephen Hawking
If at first you don't succeed, try management.
Stephen Hawking
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Stephen Hawking
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking
If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.
Stephen Hawking
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking
We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them
Stephen Hawking
Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.
Stephen Hawking
If human life were long enough to find the ultimate theory, everything would have been solved by previous generations. Nothing would be left to be discovered.
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
My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.
Stephen Hawking
Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
Stephen Hawking
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God', but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.
Stephen Hawking
There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.
Stephen Hawking
The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.
Stephen Hawking
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
Stephen Hawking
Of course it is possible that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the government is hushing it up
Stephen Hawking
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking
