There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I think computer viruses should count as life.
Stephen Hawking

Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.
Stephen Hawking

Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.
Stephen Hawking

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen Hawking

We don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
Stephen Hawking
Image
The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant, considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it's extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life.
Stephen Hawking

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.
Stephen Hawking

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
Stephen Hawking

The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.
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
Not to take this web of dualities as a sign we are on the right track would be a bit like believing that God put fossils into the rocks in order to mislead Darwin about the evolution of life.
Stephen Hawking
Image
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I'd say I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid He might hear me.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I don't fear God- I fear His believers.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no end.
