More quotes by Stephen Hawking
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over.
Stephen Hawking
We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe
Stephen Hawking
The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron .... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.
Stephen Hawking
While there's life, there is hope.
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
The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesn't change policy.
Stephen Hawking
Once I wept for I had no shoes. Then I met a man with no feet, so I took his shoes. I mean, it wasn't as if he was going to need them.
Stephen Hawking
Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
Stephen Hawking
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
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
Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.
Stephen Hawking
A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?
Stephen Hawking
The moment you understand the whole Universe, is the moment you slightly begin to understand the way God's mind works
Stephen Hawking
So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist.....Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist
Stephen Hawking
No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.
Stephen Hawking
My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.
Stephen Hawking
If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.
Stephen Hawking
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
