More quotes by Stephen Hawking
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
Stephen Hawking
It's the gravity that shapes the large scale structure of the universe, even though it is the weakest of four categories of forces
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
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.
Stephen Hawking
Save water. Shower with your girlfriend.
Stephen Hawking
Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.
Stephen Hawking
If a superior alien civilization sent us a message saying, 'We'll arrive in a few decades', would we just reply, 'OK, call us when you get here - we'll leave the lights on'? Probably not - but this is more or less what is happening with AI.
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.
Stephen Hawking
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Stephen Hawking
Theology is unnecessary.
Stephen Hawking
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Stephen Hawking
The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behavior.
Stephen Hawking
It is very important for young people keep their sense of wonder and keep asking why.
Stephen Hawking
We don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
Stephen Hawking
I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.
Stephen Hawking
Computers double their performance every month.
Stephen Hawking
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.
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
I don't have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I'm happier now than before I developed the condition.
Stephen Hawking
A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.
Stephen Hawking
