More quotes by 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
Image
One could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
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
Image
Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Perhaps we could write code to optimize code, then run that code through the code optimizer?
Stephen Hawking

Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
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

The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.
Stephen Hawking

A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.
Stephen Hawking
Image
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.
Stephen Hawking
Image
TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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
Image
Not to leave planet Earth would be like castaways on a desert island not trying to escape...Sending humans to other planets ... will shape the future of the human race in ways we don't yet understand, and may determine whether we have any future at all.
Stephen Hawking

The concern here is that financial services become a kind of tech-led Wild West.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.
Stephen Hawking
Image
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.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college I was too busy enjoying myself.
