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

[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.
Stephen Hawking

We should seek the greatest value of our action.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I do not believe in a personal God.
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
Image
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It matters if you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking
Image
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Stephen Hawking

It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression. It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or a partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.
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.

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.

Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.
Stephen Hawking
Image
If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Once I wept for I had no shoes. Then I met a man with no feet, so I took his shoes. I mean, it wasn't as if he was going to need them.
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

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
Stephen Hawking

My first popular book, 'A Brief History of Time,' aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.

I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no end.
