One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.
Stephen Hawking

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

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.

As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control. It was a natural next step to want to know how the universe works.
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
Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Image
I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college I was too busy enjoying myself.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
Stephen Hawking
Image
The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behavior.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is very important for young people keep their sense of wonder and keep asking why.
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

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.
