It is tribute to how far we have come in theoretical physics that it now takes enormous machines and a great deal… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“the most important point: that the universe is governed by a set of rational laws that we can discover and understand.” — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“Today will still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I think my dad [ Stephen Hawking] would have been pleased if I had turned out a scientist because he truly believes… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“Our very existence imposes rules determining from where and at what time it is possible for us to observe the universe. That… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“Yet if there really were a complete unified theory, it would also presumably determine our actions—so the theory itself would determine the… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
In A Brief History Of Time I used the word "God" like Einstein did as a shorthand for the laws of physics.… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“All the known particles in the universe can be divided into two groups: particles of spin ½, which make up the matter… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
It is impossible to imagine a four-dimensional space. I personally find it hard enough to visualize a three-dimensional space! — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose,… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
So great a contribution to physics was Two New Sciences that scholars have long maintained that the book anticipated Isaac Newton's laws… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
[Question: What do you think was the most important physics idea to emerge this year?] We won't know for a few years. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The universe is not indifferent to our existence - it depends on it. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The human race does not have a very good record of intelligent behavior. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“We have finally found something that doesn’t have a cause, because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me this… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
[On President Bush's plan to get to Mars in 10 years] Stupid. Robots would do a better job and be much cheaper because you… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“In the eighteenth century, philosophers considered the whole of human knowledge, including science, to be their field and discussed questions such as: Did the… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
A model is a good model if first it interprets a wide range of observations in terms of a simple and elegant model, and… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
