More quotes by Stephen Hawking
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
The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.
Stephen Hawking
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
Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.
Stephen Hawking
Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn
Stephen Hawking
Not to leave planet Earth would be like castaways on a desert island not trying to escape...Sending humans to other planets ... will shape the future of the human race in ways we don't yet understand, and may determine whether we have any future at all.
Stephen Hawking
I don't fear God- I fear His believers.
Stephen Hawking
Computers double their performance every month.
Stephen Hawking
One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.
Stephen Hawking
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.
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
I'm very interested in film making. It's telling a story, fiction or non-fiction. I have been filmed quite a lot. Contrary to popular belief, filming isn't glamorous. It can be wearingly repetitious, as the same shot is taken over and over again.
Stephen Hawking
The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.
Stephen Hawking
If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.
Stephen Hawking
I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.
Stephen Hawking
Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.
Stephen Hawking
It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up.
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
