More quotes by Stephen Hawking

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

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.
Stephen Hawking
Image
No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
Stephen Hawking

A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.
Stephen Hawking

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Stephen Hawking

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
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

More often than politicians, but not as often as they should.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It matters that you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.
Stephen Hawking

While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking

The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Half the battle is just showing up.
Stephen Hawking

If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There is a very real danger that we will kill everything on this planet now that we have the technological power to do so.
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

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.
