Quote

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.

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.
Stephen Hawking

All my adult life people have been helping me.
Stephen Hawking

The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.
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
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
Image
We find ourselves in a bewildering world. We want to make sense of what we see around us and to ask: What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?
Stephen Hawking

Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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
Image
TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.
Stephen Hawking

There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.
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

It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up.
Stephen Hawking

Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.
Stephen Hawking

Perhaps we could write code to optimize code, then run that code through the code optimizer?

We should seek the greatest value of our action.
