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

The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God', but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.
Stephen Hawking

So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If at first you don't succeed, try management.
Stephen Hawking

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

Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
