Quotes by Steven Hawking

"Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing." - Steven Hawking

"We live in the most probable of all possible worlds." - Steven Hawking

"Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry." - Steven Hawking

"The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities." - Steven Hawking

"Einstein was wrong when he said, "God does not play dice." Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen." - Steven Hawking

"Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out." - Steven Hawking

"I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. We need to look outward to the wider universe." - Steven Hawking

"We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them" - Steven Hawking

"Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that use it to do calculations." - Steven Hawking

"Why are we here? Where do we come from? Traditionally, these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead." - Steven Hawking

"If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do." - Steven Hawking

"Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases." - Steven Hawking

"Over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important." - Steven Hawking

"Why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?" - Steven Hawking

"Observations indicate that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. It will expand forever, getting emptier and darker." - Steven Hawking

"There is a good chance that the study of the early universe and the requirements of mathematical consistency will lead us to a complete unified theory within the lifetime of some of us who are around today, always presuming we don't blow ourselves up first!" - Steven Hawking

"There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea. You have to make the intuitive leap." - Steven Hawking

"The laws of science do not distinguish between the past and the future." - Steven Hawking

"A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?" - Steven Hawking

"What is important is that we have the ability to create." - Steven Hawking

"Time and space are finite in extent, but they don't have any boundary or edge. They would be like the surface of the earth, but with two more dimensions." - Steven Hawking

"I've noticed that even people who believe in fate look both ways before crossing the street." - Steven Hawking

"It is impossible to imagine a four-dimensional space. I personally find it hard enough to visualize a three-dimensional space!" - Steven Hawking

"If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way." - Steven Hawking

"Gravity is so strong that space is bent round onto itself, making it rather like the surface of the earth. If one keeps traveling in a certain direction on the surface of the earth, one never comes up against an impassable barrier or falls over the edge, but eventually comes back to where one started." - Steven Hawking

"If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form." - Steven Hawking

"Why do we remember the past, but not the future?" - Steven Hawking
