I do not believe in a personal God.
Stephen Hawking

If a superior alien civilization sent us a message saying, 'We'll arrive in a few decades', would we just reply, 'OK, call us when you get here - we'll leave the lights on'? Probably not - but this is more or less what is happening with AI.
Stephen Hawking

It's the gravity that shapes the large scale structure of the universe, even though it is the weakest of four categories of forces
Stephen Hawking
Image
The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn.
Stephen Hawking

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

Humanities deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for continuing our quest. and our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.
Stephen Hawking

Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Image
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Though we feel we can choose what we do, our understanding of the molecular basis of biology shows that biological processes are governed by the laws of physics and chemistry and therefore are as determined as the orbits of the planets.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We waste time, so you don't have to.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.
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.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Science will win because it works.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If everything in the universe depends upon everything else in a fundamental way, it might be impossible to get close to a full solution by investigating parts of the problem in isolation.
Stephen Hawking
Image
What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking

Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?
