It's the gravity that shapes the large scale structure of the universe, even though it is the weakest of four categories of forces

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

Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.

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

The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression. It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or a partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.
Stephen Hawking

The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.

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.

When I was first diagnosed with ALS, I was given two years to live. Now 45 years later, I am doing pretty well.
Stephen Hawking

In real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break down.
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 aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.

To boldly go where no one has gone before

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen Hawking

There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe
Stephen Hawking

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
Stephen Hawking

More often than politicians, but not as often as they should.
Stephen Hawking

I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe
Stephen Hawking

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
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?

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