The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant, considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it's extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life. Stephen Hawking More Quotes by Stephen Hawking More Quotes From Stephen Hawking Its a crazy world out there. Be curious. Stephen Hawking curious crazy world To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion. Stephen Hawking recursion programming firsts I think computer viruses should count as life ... I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. Stephen Hawking technology science thinking Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. Stephen Hawking explanation natural believe I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming. Stephen Hawking fusion nuclear energy I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so. Stephen Hawking not-afraid care believe There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. However bad life may seem, there is always hope. Stephen Hawking bad-life boundaries may Sometimes I wonder if I'm as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries. Stephen Hawking disability discovery sometimes I think the next [21st] century will be the century of complexity. We have already discovered the basic laws that govern matter and understand all the normal situations. We don't know how the laws fit together, and what happens under extreme conditions. But I expect we will find a complete unified theory sometime this century. The is no limit to the complexity that we can build using those basic laws. Stephen Hawking science knowledge thinking I wouldnt be here today if it were not for the NHS, I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived. Stephen Hawking nhs quality today Please join me in applauding the ESA - European Space Agency’s historic efforts with the Rosetta Mission and landing a spacecraft on rotating comet. It may seem like a work of fiction, but it is very real, very impressive, and will help us to further uncover the mysteries surrounding the formation of the solar system. They made a beautiful short film using an imaginary landscape to illustrate today’s historic feat. Stephen Hawking agency real beautiful The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? Stephen Hawking usual faith doe The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression. Stephen Hawking aggression failing humans Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill. But our genetic code still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million. Our only chance of long term survival, is not to remain inward looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space. Stephen Hawking selfish past years Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born Stephen Hawking six-months max physics What was God doing before the divine creation? Stephen Hawking creation divine 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. Stephen Hawking appreciated use years The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired. Stephen Hawking god order science [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 don't have to bring them back. Stephen Hawking stupid jobs science I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time. Stephen Hawking wasting-time hate want
