Quote

It should soon be possible dramatically to increase the intelligence and life span of a few individuals. They and their offspring could become a master race. Evolution pays no regard to social justice. It was not fair on the Neanderthals they were replaced by modern humans.

I do not believe in a personal God.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen Hawking

Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.

If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.

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

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.
Stephen Hawking

If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.

I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well... At times I thought he was me.

I like physics, but I love cartoons.
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.

The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.

Science fiction can be exciting and very gripping, but it doesn't tell us anything about the universe in which we live.
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
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

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.
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.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
