We don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
Stephen Hawking

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?
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.
Stephen Hawking

There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light.
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.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

It matters if you don't just give up.

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
Stephen Hawking

Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.
Stephen Hawking

If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory. It makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory.

Women. They are a complete mystery.
Stephen Hawking

If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
Stephen Hawking

TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Stephen Hawking

Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.

If I had to choose a superhero to be, I would pick Superman. He's everything that I'm not.

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.
