I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. We need to look outward to the wider universe.

The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
Stephen Hawking

Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying.
Stephen Hawking

I have to speak through a computer... in my mind, I am free. Free to explore the universe and ask the big questions...
Stephen Hawking

One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen Hawking
Image
A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I think computer viruses should count as life.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important.
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 human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
