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.

  • The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

  • Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

  • The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

  • Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.
