More Stephen Hawking quote about:
-
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
-- Stephen 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.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“It is very important for young people keep their sense of wonder and keep asking why.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years, but if we want to continue, our future is in space.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“Being confined to a wheelchair doesn't bother me as my mind is free to roam the universe, but it felt wonderful to be weightless.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“Think of our DNA. In the last million years, our DNA hasn't changed at all. It's really much the same as it was in the jungle, a million, two millions years ago. But in the last 200 years, our destructive capacities have increased many, many millions of times over. Why don't we see intelligent signals from outer space? Because in all likelihood, once the civilization reaches the point our civilization has reached, it destroys itself.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“I think my dad [ Stephen Hawking] would have been pleased if I had turned out a scientist because he truly believes that is the most interesting career open to anyone. But he also believes that you have to follow your own path in life and so he certainly wasn't going to push me toward theoretical physics when it didn't look like I was going in that direction naturally.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist.....Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“One big contribution my father [Stephen Hawking] has made is to show that having a disability does not bar you from leading a full and eventful life.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“When I was young, Stephen Hawking wasn't the world's most famous physicist. The fame didn't arrive until the publication of "A Brief History of Time," by which time I was in my late teens. When I was a child, he was well known among physicists, but they are a fairly select, serious bunch, not much given to celebrity idolizing.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“Many badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more [in scientific education and research].”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“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 -
“It should soon be possible dramatically to increase the intelligence and life span of a few individuals [with the help of genetic engineering]. They and their offspring could become a master race. Evolution pays no regard to social justice. It was not fair on the Neanderthals they were replaced by modern humans.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“Science fiction can be exciting and very gripping, but it doesn't tell us anything about the universe in which we live.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.”
-- Stephen Hawking -

-- Stephen Hawking -
“I'm a child myself, in the sense that I'm still looking. Children are fascinated by black holes and ask me questions. I find they soon get the idea if it is explained in nontechnical language.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
“I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.”
-- Stephen Hawking -
