Quotes By Stephen Hawking
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

Stephen Hawking
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.
Stephen Hawking
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
Stephen Hawking
Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen Hawking
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
