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.

More quotes by Stephen Hawking
Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge.
Stephen Hawking
In this way, Edwin Hubble worked out the distances to nine different galaxies. We now know that our galaxy is only one of some hundred thousand million that can be seen using modern telescopes, each galaxy itself containing some hundred thousand million stars.
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
What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
Stephen Hawking
The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
Stephen Hawking
Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
Stephen Hawking
Working with my father [Stephen Hawking ] is a great thrill - he has the amazing ability to hold enormous amounts of information in his head.
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
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
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
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
A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.
Stephen Hawking
We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.
Stephen Hawking
Nothing cannot exist forever.
Stephen Hawking
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.
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
All my adult life people have been helping me.
Stephen Hawking
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation.
Stephen Hawking
I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
Stephen Hawking
