For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein's general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin. Stephen Hawking
Work Science Predict Universe Early Work Relativity Correct Must Would Indicate Seemed General Could Disaster How Years Singularity Begin Roger Begun Einstein Theory Appeared Early
'The Simpsons' appearances were great fun. But I don't take them too seriously. I think 'The Simpsons' have treated my disability responsibly. Stephen Hawking

As Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a 'singularity.' Stephen Hawking
Good Intelligence Design Further Machines Superhuman Could Repeatedly Singularity Improve Realised Even
I have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality. Stephen Hawking
Wonderful Several Visited Hospitality Always Been Times Japan Shown
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics. Stephen Hawking

In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesn't change policy. Stephen Hawking
Great Change World Opportunity Will Research Great Opportunity Developed Developed World Like Most Policy Left America Behind Regarded Britain
It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time. Stephen Hawking
Time Universe Way Indeed Determined Began Using Appears Now Imaginary
Computers double their performance every month. Stephen Hawking
Every Month Computers Performance Double
A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel. Stephen Hawking
Travel Space First Step Toward First Step Space Travel Flight
I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe. Stephen Hawking
Science Believe Universe Physical About Answer Questions
The fastest manned vehicle in history was Apollo 10. It reached 25,000 mph. Stephen Hawking
History Vehicle Reached Manned Apollo Fastest
My three children have brought me great joy. Stephen Hawking

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions. Stephen Hawking
Time Space Extreme Direction Like Another Conditions Behave
Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits. Stephen Hawking
Great History Science People Benefits Pure Universe Later Out Rather Throughout Studied Practical Understand Discoveries Commercial Than Gain Turned Applications Desire
Only black holes of very low mass would emit a significant amount of radiation. Stephen Hawking
