The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.
Stephen HawkingIt surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
Stephen HawkingOne could imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand.
Stephen HawkingOur only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen HawkingIf it [the universe] was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it eventually to stop expanding and then to start contracting. However, if it was expanding at more than a certain critical rate, gravity would never be strong enough to stop it, and the universe would continue to expand forever.
