Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.

Science makes God unnecessary.
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.

One should love animals. They are so tasty.

Half the battle is just showing up.

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?
Stephen Hawking
Image
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?

Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.

I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.
Stephen Hawking

It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.
