The Planck satellite may detect the imprint of the gravitational waves predicted by inflation. This would be quantum gravity written across the sky.Stephen Hawking
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
I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.Stephen Hawking
I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.Stephen Hawking
My father was a research scientist in tropical medicine, so I always assumed I would be a scientist, too. I felt that medicine was too vague and inexact, so I chose physics.Stephen Hawking
Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.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
