In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I think it quite likely that we are the only civilization within several hundred light years; otherwise we would have heard radio waves.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.

In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesn't change policy.

The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us - aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.'

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Our minds work in real time, which begins at the Big Bang and will end, if there is a Big Crunch - which seems unlikely, now, from the latest data showing accelerating expansion. Consciousness would come to an end at a singularity.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

Before 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities... space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe.

What was God doing before the divine creation?

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.

One can't predict the weather more than a few days in advance.

Stephen Hawking 456 quotes

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.

I believe things cannot make themselves impossible.
