I think we have a good chance of surviving long enough to colonize the solar system. Stephen Hawking Chance
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge. Stephen Hawking Science
I'm never any good in the morning. It is only after four in the afternoon that I get going. Stephen Hawking Morning
Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out. Stephen Hawking Time
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark. Stephen Hawking Computers
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion. Stephen Hawking Science
I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe. Stephen Hawking Science
We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it. Stephen Hawking Intelligence
Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of. Stephen Hawking War
Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others. Stephen Hawking Science
Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out. Stephen Hawking Space
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 Space
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. Stephen Hawking Death
Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible. Stephen Hawking Travel
It's time to commit to finding the answer, to search for life beyond Earth. Mankind has a deep need to explore, to learn, to know. We also happen to be sociable creatures. It is important for us to know if we are alone in the dark. Stephen Hawking Time
In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics. Stephen Hawking Science
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition. Stephen Hawking Intelligence
