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. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women. Stephen Hawking

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics. Stephen Hawking
Beautiful Science Physics Simple Biology Examples Observations Between Makes Equations Different Explanations Double Connections Include Fundamental Phenomena
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger. Gertrude Stein
Funny You People Physics Strong Men Be Strong Stronger Action Supposed Equal Reaction Principle Scientific Always Opposite Persecute Get Cannot Realise Them Themselves Who Rouse Basic
In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians. Stephen Hawking

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before. Stephen Hawking

Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together. Joan Jett
Life Time Together Physics Strong Wave Paradox Both Particle Like Quantum Quantum Physics Exists Same Same Time Things Fragile
My eyes are constantly wide open to the extraordinary fact of existence. Not just human existence, but the existence of life and how this breathtakingly powerful process, which is natural selection, has managed to take the very simple facts of physics and chemistry and build them up to redwood trees and humans. Richard Dawkins

I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people. Stephen Hawking
Hope Science People Physics Mystery Understood Ordinary Ordinary People Show Helped Profile Raise
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings, and the 'Mind of God' is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace. Michio Kaku
Music God Physics Mind Chemistry Band Universe Symphony Harmonies Resonating String String Theory Strings Melodies Cosmic Particles Tiny Vibrating Vibrations Theory Play Rubber
It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry. H. L. Mencken
