More quotes by Stephen Hawking
Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.
Stephen Hawking
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
If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory. It makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory.
Stephen Hawking
Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.
Stephen Hawking
One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist.....Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist
Stephen Hawking
The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves
Stephen Hawking
So long as the Universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the Universe is really completely self-contained, it would have neither beginning or end, it would simply be. What place then for a creator?
Stephen Hawking
I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
Stephen Hawking
All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God.
Stephen Hawking
There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.
Stephen Hawking
There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.
Stephen Hawking
In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?
Stephen Hawking
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Stephen Hawking
It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
Stephen Hawking
My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.
Stephen Hawking
A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
Stephen Hawking
