Quotes from Stephen Hawking

Paus bilang kepada kami bahwa mempelajari perkembangan alam semesta sesudah Ledakan Besar itu boleh-boleh saja, tapi kami sebaiknya tak mencari tahu mengenai Ledakan Besar karena itulah saat Penciptaan yang merupakan karya Tuhan.

This means that at earlier times objects would have been closer together. In fact, it seemed that there was a time, about ten or twenty thousand million years ago, when they were all at exactly the same place and when, therefore, the density of the universe was infinite.

In the theory of relativity, if one can travel faster than light, one can also travel back in time, and this would lead to problems with people going back and changing the past. One would also expect to have already seen large numbers of tourists from the future, curious to look at our quaint, old-fashioned ways.

Sains tampaknya telah mengungkap satu set hukum yang memberi tahu kita bagaimana alam semesta akan berkembang seiring waktu jika kita mengetahui keadaannya pada saat apa pun, dalam batas-batas yang ditetapkan oleh kaidah ketidakastian. Hukum-hukum itu boleh jadi aslinya ditetapkan oleh Tuhan, tapi tampaknya Dia sudah membiarkan alam semesta berkembang sesuai hukum-hukum itu dan sekarang tak lagi ikut campur dalam alam semesta.

Someone once said that scientists and prostitutes get paid for doing what they enjoy.

En cierto modo, la especie humana necesita mejorar sus cualidades mentales y físicas para tratar con el mundo cada vez más complejo que lo rodea y afrontar nuevos desafíos como los viajes espaciales. Y también necesita aumentar su complejidad si los sistemas biológicos deben mantenerse por delante de los sistemas electrónicos. Por el momento, los ordenadores nos aventajan en velocidad, pero no muestran signos de inteligencia.

Ibarat segerombolan monyet yang memencet-mencet mesin tik–sebagian besar akan mengetik sampah, tapi pada beberapa kesempatan secara kebetulan akan ada soneta Shakespeare yang diketik.

We thus have experimental evidence both that space-time can be warped (from the bending of light during eclipses) and that it can be curved in the way necessary to allow time travel (from the Casimir effect).

I think that there is a good chance that the study of the early universe and the requirements of mathematical consistency will lead us to a complete unified theory within the lifetime of some of us who are around today, always presuming we don't blow ourselves up first.

I used to have a bumper sticker that read Black Holes are out of sight on the door of my office in DAMTP [Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Cambridge]. This so irritated the head of the department that he engineered my election to the Lucasian Professorship, moved me to a better office on the strength of it, and personally tore the offending notice off the door of the old office.

The first scientific description of time was given in 1689 by Sir Isaac Newton, who held the Lucasian chair at Cambridge that I used to occupy (though it wasn't electrically operated in his time).

Extenderse al espacio tendrá un efecto aún mayor. Cambiará completamente el futuro de la especie humana, y tal vez determinará que tengamos o no algún futuro. No resolverá ninguno de nuestros problemas inmediatos en el planeta Tierra, pero nos proporcionará una nueva perspectiva sobre ellos y hará que miremos hacia fuera en lugar de hacia dentro. Con suerte, nos unirá para enfrentar el desafío común.

The low esteem in which science and scientists are held is having serious consequences. We live in a society that is increasingly governed by science and technology, yet fewer and fewer young people want to go into science.

I am uncomfortably, acutely aware of the passage of time, and have lived much of my life with a sense that the time that I have been granted is, as they say, borrowed.

Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible.

greatly increases the chances of finding and inspiring the new Einstein. Wherever she might be.

In 2010, computerised trading systems created the stock-market Flash Crash; what would a computer-triggered crash look like in the defence arena?

I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. - Stephen Hawking "Black Holes and Baby Universes

We got through all of Genesis and part of Exodus before I left. One of the main things I was taught from this was not to begin a sentence with And . I pointed out that most sentences in the Bible began with And , but I was told that English had changed since the time of King James. In that case, I argued, why make us read the Bible? But it was in vain. Robert Graves was very keen on the symbolism and mysticism in the Bible at that time [Childhood].

Tradisi Aristoteles juga menyatakan bahwa semua hukum yang mengatur alam semesta bisa dipelajari dengan pemikiran saja: pembuktian dengan pengamatan tidak diperlukan.

We are all time travellers, journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Be brave, be curious, be determined, overcome the oods. It can be done.

The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race….It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded

por completa que sea nuestra observación del presente, el pasado (no observado) y el futuro son indefinidos y sólo existen como un espectro de posibilidades.

Uns bleibt keine Zeit, darauf zu warten, dass die darwinistische Evolution aus uns intelligentere und gutartige Wesen macht...Wir werden in der Lage sein, unsere DNA selbst zu verändern und zu verbessern.
