Quotes
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Stephen Hawking
Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.
Stephen Hawking
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
I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.
Stephen Hawking
I believe things cannot make themselves impossible.
