"Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away."
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.” - Niels Bohr

Audio: Stephen Hawking’s Best Quotes
Happy birthday Stephen Hawking! For a man with ALS disorder you have brought some unforgettable concepts and truths to the world of science and inspired those with disabilities to not see it as that, but as an advantage. You’re what I consider a genuine inspiration. In respect to the birthday of the man known best for his intelligence in our era, WiredScience has featured this wonderful set of audio consisting of some of Professor Hawking’s notable quotes:
It would be hard to find a geek who doesn’t recognize the world-famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who turns 70 today, or his equally famous voice.
Despite being stricken with the neurogenerative disease ALS at age 21, Hawking has continued to do groundbreaking work in quantum gravity, cosmology, and black hole research as well as written iconic popular science books such as A Brief History of Time.
Being forced to use a speech synthesizer — as Hawking has since 1986 due to complications from his disease — would have left hindered most peoples’ ability to communicate. But somehow the computerized voice, and the length of time it takes him to type in his thoughts, lends even more weight to Hawking’s words. Below, we have collected audio of some of his best quotes on topics such as physics, space travel, and the meaning of life, all spoken in his iconic digital voice.
If you’d like to hear more about Hawking, tune in to the live webcast of the University of Cambridge’s special symposium beginning at in honor of his birthday featuring physicists such as Hawking’s close friend Kip Thorne and Nobel laureate Saul Perlmutter at 8 a.m. EST.
“Observations indicate that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. It will expand forever, getting emptier and darker. Although the universe doesn’t have an end, it had a beginning in the Big Bang. One might ask what is before that but the answer is that there is nowhere before the Big Bang just as there is nowhere south of the South Pole.” — Stephen Hawking —Video Q&A with Time magazine in 2010

"Science does not deny religion. It just offers a simpler alternative."
Stephen Hawking
"It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious."
Stephen W. Hawking (via usgroovykids)
