Stephen Hawking Quotes

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imaginations, we learned to talk Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think that it's important for scientists to explain their work, particularly in cosmology. This now answers many questions once asked of religion Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry Picture Quote #1

The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years? Picture Quote #1

There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science Picture Quote #1

Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that! Picture Quote #1

There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea. You have to make the intuitive leap. But the difference is that once you've made that intuitive leap you have to justify it by filling in the intermediate steps Picture Quote #1

It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up Picture Quote #1

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion. Over a large number of bets, the odds even out and we can make predictions; that's why casino owners are so rich. But over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important Picture Quote #1

There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light Picture Quote #1

If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else Picture Quote #1

Nothing cannot exist forever Picture Quote #1

We live in the most probable of all possible worlds Picture Quote #1

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge Picture Quote #1

I want to know why the universe exists, why there is something greater than nothing Picture Quote #1

You can’t regulate every lab in the world Picture Quote #1

Government works best under the glare of public scrutiny. Absent such scrutiny, abuses occur Picture Quote #1

The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people Picture Quote #1

Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases Picture Quote #1

Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying Picture Quote #1
