The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking

The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light.
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

I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
Stephen Hawking

One should love animals. They are so tasty.
Stephen Hawking

We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen Hawking

The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy.
Stephen Hawking

thus, in a sense, we are all doomed. even if we stay away from black holes
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 you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.
Stephen Hawking

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking

Science will win because it works.
Stephen Hawking

It is very important for young people keep their sense of wonder and keep asking why.

We don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
