About this book

"Our minds tell us that some things in the universe must be true. The new physics tells us that they are not, and in the process it blurs the line between science and science fiction. Here are six essays by those who walk that line, moving ever further out in discovering the patterns of nature, aimed at readers who share their fascination with the deepest mysteries of the universe."--BOOK JACKET.

Quotes by Stephen W. Hawking

From Wikiquote

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
There ought to be something very special about the boundary conditions of the universe and what can be more special than that there is no boundary?
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.
