There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains. Stephen Hawking

Law Ways Physical More Computation Advanced Perform Particles Arrangements Brains Than Human Being Organised Even

Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low. Stephen Hawking

Black Difficult Every Would Would-Be Temperature Black Hole Physicist Hot Almost Like Although Because Glow Verify Very Hole Prediction Low Should Body Theoretical Agree

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? Stephen Hawking

Science Universe Approach Constructing Bother Answer Does Go Mathematical Existing Questions Model Cannot Should Describe Usual Why

Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time. Stephen Hawking

I had not expected 'A Brief History of Time' to be a best seller. It was my first popular book and aroused a great deal of interest. Initially, many people found it difficult to understand. I therefore decided to try to write a new version that would be easier to follow. Stephen Hawking

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
