More quotes by Stephen Hawking
I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.
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
Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and given two and a half years to live. I have always wondered how they could be so precise about the half.
Stephen Hawking
Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
Stephen Hawking
It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.
Stephen Hawking
I don't want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.
Stephen Hawking
One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
Stephen Hawking
A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.
Stephen Hawking
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.
Stephen Hawking
Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.
Stephen Hawking
Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.
Stephen Hawking
Save water. Shower with your girlfriend.
Stephen Hawking
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
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
Stephen Hawking
Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.
Stephen Hawking
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
Stephen Hawking
Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.
Stephen Hawking
