I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. -Stephen Hawking Change
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. -Stephen Hawking Science
I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark. -Stephen Hawking Computers
God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator. -Stephen Hawking God
The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it. -Stephen Hawking Alone
I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. -Stephen Hawking Space
Before 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities... space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe. -Stephen Hawking Space
Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.' -Stephen Hawking Travel
Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. -Stephen Hawking God
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. -Stephen Hawking Motivational
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities. -Stephen Hawking Future
I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science. -Stephen Hawking Science
Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits. -Stephen Hawking Science
Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest. -Stephen Hawking Science
