In real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break down.
Stephen Hawking

The moment you understand the whole Universe, is the moment you slightly begin to understand the way God's mind works

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

We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them
Stephen Hawking

Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.

It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
Stephen Hawking

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.

There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.

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.

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

Not to take this web of dualities as a sign we are on the right track would be a bit like believing that God put fossils into the rocks in order to mislead Darwin about the evolution of life.
Stephen Hawking

It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.

Maybe my variety is due to bad absorption of vitamins.

The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.

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

If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory. It makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory.

Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.

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.

There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.
