[I think the most about] women. They are a complete mystery.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The universe and the Laws of ...

The universe and the Laws of Physics seem to have been specifically designed for us. If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on...

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The idea that we are alone in...

The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant, considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it's extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The rate of progress is so ra...

The rate of progress is so rapid that what one learns at school or university is always a bit out of date. Only a few people can keep up with the rapidly advancing frontier of knowledge, and they have to devote their whole time to it and specialize in a small area. The rest of the population has little idea of the advances that are being made or the excitement they are generating.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I’m not religious in the norm...

I’m not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The thing about smart people ...

The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

It is very important for young people keep their sense of wonder and keep asking why.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Nuclear weapons need large facilities, but genetic engineering can be done in a small lab. You can't regulate every lab in the world. The danger is that either by accident or design, we create a virus that destroys us.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Is god omnipotent ? If he is, can he create a rock so heavy he can't lift it ?

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

So next time someone complain...

So next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

So remember to look up at the...

So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and hold on to that childlike wonder about what makes the universe exist.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

If the government is covering...

If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

The world has changed far mor...

The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not political or economic but technological-technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science. Clearly, no scientist better represents those advances than Albert Einstein: TIME's Person of the Century.

Science can explain the universe without the need for a Creator.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

What could define God, [is thinking of God] as the embodiment of the laws of nature. However, this is not what most people would think of that God. They made a human-like being with whom one can have a personal relationship. When you look at the vast size of the universe and how insignificant an accidental human life is in it, that seems most impossible.
