Famous And Popular Quotes On :-
Sir Stephen Hawking
Hawking's quotes range from notable to poetic to controversial. Among them:
1. "Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? 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? "
2. "All of my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist."
3. "Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in."
4. "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. "
5. "We should seek the greatest value of our action."The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."
6. "Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."
7. "It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value. "
8. "One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem."
9. "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."
10. "I relish the rare opportunity I've been given to live the life of the mind. But I know I need my body and that it will not last forever."
11. A list of Hawking quotes would be incomplete without mentioning some of his more controversial statements.
12. "God is the name people give to the reason we are here."
13. "God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator."
14. "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at."
15. "I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer."
16. "I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth."
17. "I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe."
18. "I have found far greater enthusiasm for science in America than here in Britain. There is more enthusiasm for everything in America."
19. "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."
