The moment you understand the whole Universe, is the moment you slightly begin to understand the way God's mind works
Stephen Hawking
Image
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Stephen Hawking
Image
People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.
Stephen Hawking
Image
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Maybe my variety is due to bad absorption of vitamins.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.
Stephen Hawking
Image
In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?
Stephen Hawking
Image
A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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?
