The universe is not indifferent to our existence - it depends on it. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator. — 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
We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands? — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
In real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all,… — 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
“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
The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
So when people ask me if I believe God created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense.… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
One can imagine that God created the universe at literally any time in the past. On the other hand, if the universe… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
As we shall see, the concept of time has no meaning before the beginning of the universe. This was first pointed out… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The initial configuration of the universe may have been chosen by God, or it may itself have been determined by the laws… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
One might think this means that imaginary numbers are just a mathematical game having nothing to do with the real world. From… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
It is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
If it [the universe] was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it eventually to stop expanding and then to… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
In his eyes shone the reflection of the most beautiful planet in the Universe---a planet that is not too hot and not… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“In an infinite universe, every point can be regarded as the center, because every point has an infinite number of stars on… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The universe does not behave according to our pre-conceived ideas. It continues to surprise us. — 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
![“If it [the universe] was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it eventually to stop expanding and then to start contracting. However, if it was expanding at more than a certain critical rate, gravity would never be strong enough to stop it, and the universe would continue to…” quote by Stephen Hawking](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/853/stephen-hawking-389_causes_if-it-the-universe-was-expanding-fairly_691971.jpg)
