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

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention. (The Catholic Church, on the other hand, seized on the big bang model and in 1951 officially pronounced it to be in accordance with the Bible.

One should love animals. They are so tasty.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Everything that civilisation ...

Everything that civilisation has to offer is a product of human intelligence; we cannot predict what we might achieve when this intelligence is magnified by the tools that AI may provide, but the eradication of war, disease, and poverty would be high on anyone's list. Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last.

I am discounting the reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?

We are very, very small, but we are profoundly capable of very, very big things.

I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.

I've noticed that even people who believe in fate look both ways before crossing the street.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Humanities deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for continuing our quest. and our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The laws of science, as we kn...

The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron .... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Bodies like the earth are not...

Bodies like the earth are not made to move on curved orbits by a force called gravity; instead, they follow the nearest thing to a straight path in a curved space, which is called a geodesic. A geodesic is the shortest (or longest) path between two nearby points.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

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.

It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

In A Brief History Of Time I ...

In A Brief History Of Time I used the word "God" like Einstein did as a shorthand for the laws of physics. However, this is not what most people mean by God, so I have decided not to use the term. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a God.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

One can imagine that God crea...

One can imagine that God created the universe at literally any time in the past. On the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. One could imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. An expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I don't think the human race ...

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars.

It's clearly possible for a something to acquire higher intelligence than its ancestors: we evolved to be smarter than our ape-like ancestors, and Einstein was smarter than his parents.
