The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn.

Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.
Stephen Hawking

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 usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.
Stephen Hawking

Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.

At times, I get very lonely because people are afraid to talk to me or don't wait for me to write a response. I'm shy and tongue-tied at times. I find it difficult to talk to people who I don't know.

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
Stephen Hawking

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college I was too busy enjoying myself.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron .... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.
Stephen Hawking

We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics.
Stephen Hawking

We live in the most probable of all possible worlds.

When I get to heaven I'm gonna find the guy in charge of the weather and kick his rear.

TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Stephen Hawking
Image
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control. It was a natural next step to want to know how the universe works.

So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.
