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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

One should love animals. They are so tasty.

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.

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

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.

Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.

The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Before we understand science,...

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

With genetic engineering, we ...

With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code. By contrast, computers double their speed and memories every 18 months. There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.
