Strong opinions
"The question is: is the way the
universe began chosen by God
for reasons we can't understand,

or was it determined by a law of
science? I believe the second."
"If aliens visit us, the outcome
would be much as when
Columbus landed in America,
which didn't turn out well for the
Native Americans."
Stephen Hawking
CAREER
“I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of
being wiped out by a disaster such as sudden nuclear war, a
genetically engineered virus, or other dangers. I think the
human race has no future if it doesn't go into space.”
Stephen Hawking
