Stephen Hawking Physics Quotations

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.

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

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.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born

One can't prove that God doesn't exist, but science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex. [Hawking adopted this statement from a remark made to him by his former post-doc, Nathan Myhrvold.]

I like physics, but I love cartoons.
