One is always a long way from solving a problem until one actually has the answer.
Stephen Hawking

Science makes God unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

I don't want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If everything in the universe depends upon everything else in a fundamental way, it might be impossible to get close to a full solution by investigating parts of the problem in isolation.
Stephen Hawking

To boldly go where no one has gone before
Stephen Hawking

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.

I like physics, but I love cartoons.
Stephen Hawking

I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
Stephen Hawking

It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.

Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born
Stephen Hawking
Image
The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant, considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it's extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life.

I'm very interested in film making. It's telling a story, fiction or non-fiction. I have been filmed quite a lot. Contrary to popular belief, filming isn't glamorous. It can be wearingly repetitious, as the same shot is taken over and over again.

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
Image
We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.
Stephen Hawking
Image
My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.

If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.

Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
