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
