We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

We are just an advanced breed...

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I can't disguise myself with a wig and dark glasses - the wheelchair gives me away.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The universe is not indifferent to our existence - it depends on it.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

There could be shadow galaxies, shadow stars, and even shadow people.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Science is beautiful when it ...

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

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 456 quotes

The radiation left over from ...

The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time.
