Citações de deus de Stephen Hawking

“Deus não só joga dados, como os joga onde não podemos ver.”

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.
Hawking on the big bang and black holes - Página 116, Stephen W. Hawking - Bantam Books, 1993, ISBN 0553095234, 9780553095234 - 312 páginas

“Se chegarmos a descobrir uma teoria completa, com o tempo esta deveria ser compreensível para todos e não só para os cientistas. Então, todo mundo poderia discutir sobre a existência do ser humano e do Universo. Se encontrarmos a resposta para isso, seria o triunfo final da razão humana - para, em seguida, gostaríamos de saber a mente de Deus.”

If we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason — for then we would know the mind of God.
Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays (1993)

Stephen Hawking frases e citações

“Não creio que a raça humana possa sobreviver aos próximos 1 000 anos, a menos que nos espalhemos pelo espaço.”

“Diz muito sobre a natureza humana que a única forma de vida criada por nós é puramente destrutiva. Criamos vida à nossa imagem.”

It says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image

Stephen Hawking: Frases em inglês

“Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases.”

Stephen Hawking livro A Brief History of Time

Fonte: A Brief History of Time (1988), Ch. 9
Contexto: Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can’t have a safer bet than that!

“God abhors a naked singularity.”

“Many people would claim that the boundary conditions are not part of physics but belong to metaphysics or religion. They would claim that nature had complete freedom to start the universe off any way it wanted.”

"The Quantum State of the Universe", Nuclear Physics (1984) <!-- B239, p. 258 -->
Contexto: Many people would claim that the boundary conditions are not part of physics but belong to metaphysics or religion. They would claim that nature had complete freedom to start the universe off any way it wanted. That may be so, but it could also have made it evolve in a completely arbitrary and random manner. Yet all the evidence is that it evolves in a regular way according to certain laws. It would therefore seem reasonable to suppose that there are also laws governing the boundary conditions.

“Women. They are a complete mystery.”

Response when asked what he thinks about most during the day, "Stephen Hawking at 70: Exclusive interview" http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328460.500-stephen-hawking-at-70-exclusive-interview.html in New Scientist (4 January 2012)

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance. It is the illusion of knowledge.”

Sometimes attributed to Hawking without a source, but originally from historian Daniel J. Boorstin. It appears in different forms in The Discoverers (1983), Cleopatra's Nose (1995), and introduction to The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1995)

“I am discounting reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?”

As quoted in a TED talk, " Asking Big Questions about the Universe http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/242"

“I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was able to reason.”

“Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.”

“Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.”

Stephen Hawking livro Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays

Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays (1993)

“Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.”

As quoted in "Return of the time lord" in The Guardian http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/scienceandnature/story/0,6000,1579384,00.html (27 September 2005)

“I used to think that information was destroyed in black holes. But the AdS/CFT correspondence led me to change my mind. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.”

"Stephen Hawking at 70: Exclusive interview" http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328460.500-stephen-hawking-at-70-exclusive-interview.html in New Scientist, (4 January 2012). In his comment that he "used to think that information was destroyed in black holes", he is referring to the black hole information paradox.

“I regard [the many worlds interpretation] as self-evidently correct. [T. F.: Yet some don't find it evident to themselves. ] Yeah, well, there are some people who spend an awful lot of time talking about the interpretation of quantum mechanics. My attitude — I would paraphrase Goering—is that when I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun.”

Heard in person by this contributor when Hawking showed-up in a Caltech physics class taught by Robert Christy in 1980 or '81; when asked about collapse of the state-vector he whispered to his assistant Chris (surname unknown) something at which point Chris stood up and said 'Stephen is paraphrasing Herman Göring by saying "When I hear the words 'Schrödinger's Cat' I reach for my gun."'.
