In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years? — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
If we can avoid disaster for the next two centuries, our species should be safe as we spread into space. If we… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I was born on January 8, 1942, exactly three hundred years after the death of Galileo. I estimate, however, that about two… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image

We believe human begins have existed for only a small fraction of cosmic history, because human race has been improving so rapidly… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Think of our DNA. In the last million years, our DNA hasn't changed at all. It's really much the same as it… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image

Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and given two and a half years to live. I have always… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
In the last 200 years the population of our planet has grown exponentially, at a rate of 1.9% per year. If it… — 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
