A collection of Stephen Hawking’s famous quotes

1. Eternity is a long time, especially for the end.

2. When you face the possibility of premature death, you will realize that life is precious and you have a lot of things to do.

3. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

4. When I was 21 years old, my expectations became zero. From then on, everything became a perk.

5. I have noticed that even those who claim that "everything is predestined and we can't change it" will look left and right before crossing the street.

6. My fingers can still move, and my brain can still think; I have ideals that I will pursue throughout my life, and I have relatives and friends who love me; by the way, I also have a grateful heart.

7. As long as you are alive, there is hope.

8. Even if I am locked in a nut shell, I still think I am the king of infinite space.

9. Both scientists and prostitutes make money by doing what they like.

10. In order to display this icon properly, I really need a four-dimensional screen. However, due to government cuts, I was left to find ways to provide a 2D screen.

11. Einstein was wrong - he said "God does not play dice". Research on black holes shows that God not only plays with dice, but sometimes He even confuses us by dropping them out of sight.

12. I've noticed that even those who claim that everything is predestined and that we can't change it, look both ways before crossing the street.

13. My goal is very simple, which is to understand the universe as a whole - why it is like this and why it exists.

14. Is there an end to time?

15. If life has no fun, it will be a tragedy.

16. I find that American and Scandinavian accents work especially well with women.

17. Where does the universe come from and where is it going?

18. Life is unfair. No matter what your situation is, you can only do your best.

19. If a person is disabled physically, he must not be disabled mentally.

20. Throughout the history of science, people have come to understand that events do not happen in a random manner - they reflect some basic order, which may - or may not - be the result of divine agency. 21. I was told that every equation I included in the book would cut sales in half. However, I included one equation in the book - Einstein's most famous equation. The famous one, E=mc2. I hope this doesn't scare away half of my potential readers.

22. When I was 21, my expectations went to zero. Since then, everything has been different. It became a perk.” However, due to government cuts, I could only find a way to provide a two-dimensional screen

23. Did the universe have a beginning? What, if anything, happened before this?

24. The light we see from very distant galaxies was emitted millions of years ago. In the case of the farthest objects we see, the light was emitted 8 billion years ago. issued. So when we look at the universe, we are looking at its past.

25. The usual explanation for why we never see broken cups gather together, leave the ground and jump back onto the table is that this violates the second law of thermodynamics which states that there is disorder in any closed system. Degree or entropy always increases with time. In other words, it's a form of Murphy's Law: Things tend to get worse: a full cup on the table is a highly ordered state, while a broken cup on the floor is a disordered state. One could easily go from a cup on the table earlier to a broken cup on the ground later, rather than the other way around.

26. Now we know that any particle has an antiparticle that will annihilate it. (For a force-carrying particle, the antiparticle is itself.) There could also be entire anti-worlds and anti-people made of antiparticles. However, if you encounter someone who is against you, be careful not to shake hands! Otherwise, both of you will disappear in a giant flash of light.

27. Before the 20th century, no one had ever suggested that the universe was expanding or contracting, which interestingly reflected the thinking of the time.

It is generally thought that the universe has either existed in an unchanging state for an infinite period of time, or that it was created in the finite past in a state more or less as we see it today. This may be partly due to people's tendency to believe in eternal truths, but also to the comforting notion that the universe must be immortal and unchanging, even though we are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death.
