I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no end.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking

While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking

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.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
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.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation.
Stephen Hawking

Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.

The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.

The intelligent beings in these regions should therefore not be surprised if they observe that their locality in the universe satisfies the conditions that are necessary for their existence. It is a bit like a rich person living in a wealthy neighborhood not seeing any poverty.

Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
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
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking
Image
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.

Sooner or later disasters such as an asteroid collision or a nuclear war could wipe us all out, But once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.

Computer viruses are alive.

The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.

You cannot understand the glories of the universe without believing there is some Supreme Power behind it.

I do not believe in a personal God.
