It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
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
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
Stephen Hawking
Humanities deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for continuing our quest. and our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.
Stephen Hawking
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
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
We find ourselves in a bewildering world. We want to make sense of what we see around us and to ask: What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?
Stephen Hawking
We won't know for a few years.
Stephen Hawking
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking
Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.
Stephen Hawking
The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us.
Stephen Hawking
Perhaps we could write code to optimize code, then run that code through the code optimizer?
Stephen Hawking
There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.
Stephen Hawking
The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking
Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying.
Stephen Hawking
A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.
Stephen Hawking
If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.
Stephen Hawking
Nothing cannot exist forever.
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
