More quotes by Stephen Hawking

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.

Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?
Stephen Hawking

A lot of prizes have been awarded for showing the universe is not as simple as we might have thought.
Stephen Hawking

If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.

We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.

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

It matters that you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking

Then we shall... be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God.
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.

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
There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.
Stephen Hawking

We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.
Stephen Hawking

The moment you understand the whole Universe, is the moment you slightly begin to understand the way God's mind works
Stephen Hawking

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.
Stephen Hawking

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
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

I think the human race has no future if it doesn't go into space.
Stephen Hawking

Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention.

The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
