Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?
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.

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

If I had to choose a superhero to be, I would pick Superman. He's everything that I'm not.
Stephen Hawking

One should love animals. They are so tasty.
