Stephen Hawking Frases famosas

“Inteligência é a capacidade de se adaptar à mudança.”

Stephen Hawking

“Mesmo as pessoas que dizem que tudo está predeterminado e que não podemos fazer nada para mudá-lo, olham para os dois lados antes de atravessar a rua.”

Stephen Hawking

“A crença na vida após a morte é um conto de fadas para quem tem medo de morrer.”

Stephen Hawking

“Na teoria da relatividade, não existe tempo absoluto único; em vez disso, cada indivíduo tem sua própria medida de tempo, que depende de onde ele se encontra e de como está se movendo.”

Stephen Hawking

Uma breve história do tempo

“[Conselhos para os meus três filhos]
Um, lembre-se de olhar para as estrelas e não para baixo, para seus pés. Dois, nunca desista do trabalho. Trabalho dá significado e propósito, e a vida está vazia sem eles. Três, se você tiver sorte o suficiente para encontrar o amor, não o deixe ir embora.”

Stephen Hawking

“Contanto que o universo tenha tido um início, podemos supor que houve um criador. Mas, se o universo fosse de fato absolutamente contido em si mesmo, sem contorno nem borda, ele não teria início nem fim: ele simplesmente seria. Nesse caso, qual é o papel de um criador?”

Citações de deus de Stephen Hawking

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

Stephen Hawking livro Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays

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

“O que eu fiz foi demonstrar que é possível determinar pelas leis da ciência o modo como o Universo começou. Neste caso, não é necessário apelar a Deus para explicar como começou o Universo. Se isto não prova que Deus não existe, pelo menos prova que Deus não é preciso para nada.”

Stephen Hawking

“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.”

Stephen Hawking livro Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays

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)

“Deus pode existir, mas a ciência pode explicar o universo sem a necessidade de um criador.”

Stephen Hawking

“Como veremos, o conceito de tempo não tem significado antes do início do universo. Isso foi observado pela primeira vez por santo Agostinho. Quando lhe perguntavam “O que Deus fazia antes de criar o universo?”, sua resposta não era “Ele estava preparando o inferno para pessoas que fizessem perguntas como essa”. Em vez disso, respondia que o tempo era uma propriedade do universo criada por Deus e não existia antes dele. Quando”

Stephen Hawking

Uma breve história do tempo

“Com o êxito das teorias científicas em descrever os eventos, a maioria das pessoas passou a acreditar que Deus permite ao universo evoluir de acordo com uma série de leis e que ele não intervém para violá-las. Contudo, as leis não nos dizem como devia ser o aspecto do universo no início — ainda teria cabido a Ele dar corda no relógio e decidir como pô-lo em funcionamento. Contanto que o universo tenha tido um início, podemos supor que houve um criador. Mas, se o universo fosse de fato absolutamente contido em si mesmo, sem contorno nem borda, ele não teria início nem fim: ele simplesmente seria. Nesse caso, qual é o papel de um criador?”

Citações de pessoas de Stephen Hawking

“Eu não tenho nenhuma idéia (de qual seja o meu QI). Pessoas que se vangloriam dos seus QI são perdedores.”

Stephen Hawking

“Tanto Aristóteles quanto Newton acreditavam em tempo absoluto. Ou seja, eles acreditavam que seria possível medir sem erro o intervalo de tempo entre dois eventos e que esse tempo seria o mesmo a despeito de quem o medisse, desde que se usasse um bom relógio. O tempo seria completamente separado e independente do espaço. Isso é o que a maioria das pessoas tomaria por senso comum. Entretanto, tivemos de mudar nossas ideias sobre o espaço e o tempo. Embora nossos conceitos aparentemente derivados do senso comum funcionem bem quando lidamos com coisas como maçãs ou planetas, que se movem devagar se comparadas a outras, eles não funcionam em nada para coisas que se movem na velocidade da luz ou perto dela.

“No entanto, a da tartaruga não é uma boa teoria científica porque prevê que as pessoas devem ser capazes de cair pela beirada do mundo.

“Se chegássemos ao fim da linha, o espírito humano definharia e morreria. Mas não creio que um dia sossegaremos: aumentaremos em complexidade, se não em profundidade, e seremos sempre o centro de um horizonte de possibilidades em expansão.”

“Heisenberg mostrou que a incerteza na posição da partícula multiplicada pela incerteza em sua velocidade multiplicada pela massa da partícula nunca pode ser menor do que um valor específico, conhecido como constante de Planck.”

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

Stephen Hawking

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

“Hoje sabemos que nem os átomos nem os prótons e nêutrons dentro deles são indivisíveis. Assim, a questão é: quais são as partículas de fato elementares, os blocos constituintes básicos a partir dos quais tudo é feito? Como o comprimento de onda da luz é muito maior do que o tamanho de um átomo, não podemos esperar “olhar” para as partes de um átomo do modo normal. Precisamos usar algo com um comprimento de onda muito menor. Como vimos no capítulo anterior, a mecânica quântica nos diz que, na verdade, todas as partículas são ondas e que, quanto mais elevada a energia de uma partícula, menor o comprimento de sua onda. Assim, a melhor resposta que podemos dar para a nossa pergunta depende de quão elevada é a energia da partícula à nossa disposição, pois isso determina quão pequena é a escala de comprimento que podemos observar.”

Stephen Hawking: Frases em inglês

“I'm sorry to disappoint science fiction fans, but if information is preserved, there is no possibility of using black holes to travel to other universes. If you jump into a black hole, your mass energy will be returned to our universe but in a mangled form which contains the information about what you were like but in a state where it can not be easily recognized. It is like burning an encyclopedia. Information is not lost, if one keeps the smoke and the ashes. But it is difficult to read. In practice, it would be too difficult to re-build a macroscopic object like an encyclopedia that fell inside a black hole from information in the radiation, but the information preserving result is important for microscopic processes involving virtual black holes.”

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. We cannot quite know what will happen if a machine exceeds our own intelligence, so we can't know if we'll be infinitely helped by it, or ignored by it and sidelined, or conceivably destroyed by it.”

“[on the possibility of contact with an alien civilization]: I think it would be a disaster. The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us. The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy, and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low.”

Unsourced variant: All of my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. Perhaps that is why I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.

Response to a question on how we should live, in an interview with The Guardian (15 May 2011)

“When I gave a lecture in Japan, I was asked not to mention the possible re-collapse of the universe, because it might affect the stock market. However, I can re-assure anyone who is nervous about their investments that it is a bit early to sell: even if the universe does come to an end, it won't be for at least twenty billion years. By that time, maybe the GATT trade agreement will have come into effect.”

“We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.”

“These lectures have shown very clearly the difference between Roger and me. He's a Platonist and I'm a positivist. He's worried that Schrödinger's cat is in a quantum state, where it is half alive and half dead. He feels that can't correspond to reality. But that doesn't bother me. I don't demand that a theory correspond to reality because I don't know what it is. Reality is not a quality you can test with litmus paper. All I'm concerned with is that the theory should predict the results of measurements. Quantum theory does this very successfully. It predicts that the result of an observation is either that the cat is alive or that it is dead. It is like you can't be slightly pregnant: you either are or you aren't.”

Lecture at the Amsterdam Symposium on Gravity, Black Holes, and String Theory (21 June 1997)

“As scientists, we understand the dangers of nuclear weapons and their devastating effects, and we are learning how human activities and technologies are affecting climate systems in ways that may forever change life on Earth. As citizens of the world, we have a duty to alert the public to the unnecessary risks that we live with every day, and to the perils we foresee if governments and societies do not take action now to render nuclear weapons obsolete and to prevent further climate change… There’s a realization that we are changing our climate for the worse. That would have catastrophic effects. Although the threat is not as dire as that of nuclear weapons right now, in the long term we are looking at a serious threat.”

“If you are disabled, it is probably not your fault, but it is no good blaming the world or expecting it to take pity on you. One has to have a positive attitude and must make the best of the situation that one finds oneself in; if one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well. In my opinion, one should concentrate on activities in which one's physical disability will not present a serious handicap. I am afraid that Olympic Games for the disabled do not appeal to me, but it is easy for me to say that because I never liked athletics anyway. On the other hand, science is a very good area for disabled people because it goes on mainly in the mind. Of course, most kinds of experimental work are probably ruled out for most such people, but theoretical work is almost ideal. My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in. I have managed, however, only because of the large amount of help I have received from my wife, children, colleagues and students. I find that people in general are very ready to help, but you should encourage them to feel that their efforts to aid you are worthwhile by doing as well as you possibly can.”

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.”
