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.

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.

Stephen Hawking

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 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. Stephen Hawking

However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we would know the mind of God.

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve.

Before we understood science, it was natural to believe that God created the universe, but now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is we would know everything that God would know if there was a God, but there isn't. I'm an atheist.

Tant que l'Univers débute à une singularité, on peut supposer qu'il a été créé par une entité extérieure. Mais si l'Univers est complètement autonome, sans frontière ni bord, il ne peut être ni créé ni détruit. Il est, tout simplement. Et dans ce cas, quelle serait la place de Dieu ?

Le désordre augmente avec le temps parce que nous mesurons le temps dans la direction où le désordre augmente. Qui dit mieux ?

We reveal ourselves in the metaphors we choose for depicting the cosmos in miniature.

People, as curious primates, dote on concrete objects that can be seen and fondled. God dwells among the details, not in the realm of pure generality. We must tackle and grasp the larger, encompassing themes of our universe, but we make our best approach through small curiosities that rivet our attention - all those pretty pebbles on the shoreline of knowledge. For the ocean of truth washes over the pebbles with every wave, and they rattle and clink with the most wondrous din.

As Freud observed, our relationship with science must be paradoxical because we are forced to pay an almost intolerable price for each major gain in knowledge and power—the psychological cost of progressive dethronement from the center of things, and increasing marginality in an uncaring universe.

Maybe there's a whole other universe where a square moon rises in the sky, and the stars laugh in cold voices, and some of the triangles have four sides, and some have five, and some have five raised to the fifth power of sides. In this universe there might grow roses which sing. Everything leads to everything.

The mystery of the universe is not time but size.

I'm the Turtle, son. I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; I had a belly-ache.

Time is a keyhole, he thought as he looked up at the stars. Yes, I think so. We sometimes bend and peer through it. And the wind we feel on our cheeks when we do - the wind that blows through the keyhole- is the breath of all the living universe.

Above, the stars shone hard and bright, sparks struck off the dark skin of the universe.
