Why do we remember the past, but not the future?
Stephen Hawking

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.
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.

Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
Stephen Hawking

We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe

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.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

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.

If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.
Stephen Hawking

The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking

A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.

Of course it is possible that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the government is hushing it up
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

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.

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.

There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
