It is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.
Stephen HawkingThere should be no boundaries to human endeavor. However bad life may seem, there is always hope.
Stephen HawkingIf any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.
