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

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.
Stephen Hawking

The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking

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

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.

We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking

I do not believe in a personal God.

If a superior alien civilization sent us a message saying, 'We'll arrive in a few decades', would we just reply, 'OK, call us when you get here - we'll leave the lights on'? Probably not - but this is more or less what is happening with AI.

The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking

It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.
Stephen Hawking
Image
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking

Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way.
Stephen Hawking
Image
At times, I get very lonely because people are afraid to talk to me or don't wait for me to write a response. I'm shy and tongue-tied at times. I find it difficult to talk to people who I don't know.
Stephen Hawking
Image
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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
Image
Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?
Stephen Hawking
Image
We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.
