Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.

To boldly go where no one has gone before

The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us.

I like physics, but I love cartoons.

We waste time, so you don't have to.
Stephen Hawking

Of course it is possible that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the government is hushing it up

A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?
Stephen Hawking

Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.

Sooner or later disasters such as an asteroid collision or a nuclear war could wipe us all out, But once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.
Stephen Hawking

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

I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.
Stephen Hawking

The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking

Not to take this web of dualities as a sign we are on the right track would be a bit like believing that God put fossils into the rocks in order to mislead Darwin about the evolution of life.
Stephen Hawking

Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and given two and a half years to live. I have always wondered how they could be so precise about the half.
Stephen Hawking

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Stephen Hawking

The intelligent beings in these regions should therefore not be surprised if they observe that their locality in the universe satisfies the conditions that are necessary for their existence. It is a bit like a rich person living in a wealthy neighborhood not seeing any poverty.
Stephen Hawking

Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.
Stephen Hawking
Image
We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe
Stephen Hawking

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
