I do not believe in a personal God.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
Stephen Hawking

Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.

Save water. Shower with your girlfriend.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron .... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.

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

I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?
Stephen Hawking
Image
We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.
Stephen Hawking

At times, I get very lonely because people are afraid to talk to me or don't wait for me to write a response. I'm shy and tongue-tied at times. I find it difficult to talk to people who I don't know.
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
Science will win because it works.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Computer viruses are alive.
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

One is always a long way from solving a problem until one actually has the answer.
Stephen Hawking

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.
