It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.
Stephen Hawking
Image
So long as the Universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the Universe is really completely self-contained, it would have neither beginning or end, it would simply be. What place then for a creator?
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

The Universe in a Nutshell
Stephen Hawking
Image
I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.

Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born
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
Image
No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Though we feel we can choose what we do, our understanding of the molecular basis of biology shows that biological processes are governed by the laws of physics and chemistry and therefore are as determined as the orbits of the planets.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. We need to look outward to the wider universe.

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking

Theology is unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking

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

Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that use it to do calculations.
Stephen Hawking

It matters if you don't just give up.

I don't have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I'm happier now than before I developed the condition.
