My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
Stephen HawkingIf we ever do find a complete theory of the universe, it would be a great triumph of human reason but it wouldn't leave much for us to do. We need an intellectual challenge.
Stephen HawkingIf you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would try to pass them.
Stephen HawkingWe only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldnt want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.
