The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.
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.

Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.

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.

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.

We find ourselves in a bewildering world. We want to make sense of what we see around us and to ask: What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?

The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.

If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way.

It matters if you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
Stephen Hawking

We've created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking

Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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

Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge.
Stephen Hawking

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
Stephen Hawking

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.
