一 引言史蒂芬霍金作為一個在度過21歲生日僅僅幾個月後，就被診斷患有ALS的病人。相信他當時是難以接受現實的。這種運動神經元疾病也就是肌萎縮側索硬化症。
和大多數人一樣，突如其來的打擊讓霍金慢慢染上抑鬱症。語言和行動能力的衰退更加讓他絕望。醫生判斷他的生命只有兩三年了，勸其放棄學業，回家享受剩餘時光。再和大多數人一樣，他會遇到貴人。 和大多數人不同的是，他的貴人導師夏默並非簡單安慰了事。他明白霍金有理想有文化有才華有潛力，給與相當多的鼓勵，勸其繼續完成學業。再和大多數人不同的是，霍金後來成就值趕上並且超越了貴人的期望值。至於羨慕其才華，喜歡其幽默的老婆，也是照料他重要的人生貴人。 當然，醫生的期望值在他過了第三個本命年後就不用提了。何況還活了更多個本命年呢。或許有些人很好奇他是否在本命年穿了紅內褲扛過了災難。但是霍金是能把自己變成別人的貴人去點化他人的人。這是否穿紅內褲就太小瞧他了吧。
思開君(SKYBEAMER)這就和大家一起看看他是如何做個貴人的。
二 求學與成長
話說，天才出少年。先看看這騷年小時候都幹些什麼吧。
1 ) As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control.Stephen Hawking孩提時代，我就想知道事物是怎樣運作和去控制它們。我和一位朋友一起建立了很多我能控制的複雜設計。- 史蒂芬霍金
做人光是自吹自擂是不夠的。關鍵還要有一幫狐朋狗友來相互吹捧，才能達到人生巔峰！
2) I was never top of the class at school, but my classmates must have seen potential in me, because my nickname was 'Einstein.' - Stephen Hawking我在學校從未屬於頂尖級別，但我的同學一定看到了我有潛力，因為我的綽號是「愛因斯坦」。- 史蒂芬霍金
勤奮從來不是成功的首要因素。上知天文下肢癱瘓的霍金再次用個人經歷告訴大家這個鐵一般的事實。在他未被診斷有ALS之前，都是愉快地玩耍過活著。 下圖名言為證。
下面這段話不是思開君(skybeamer)說的。不涉及到思開君(skybeamer)歧視任何人等啊。思開君(skybeamer)在這裡只是名人名言的搬運工。請各位高等文化人在此一笑而過。
4) In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians. - Stephen Hawking我學校裡最聰明的男孩搞數學和物理學，不太聰明的搞物理學和化學，而最不聰明的搞生物學。我想挑數學和物理學。但我父親讓我挑化學，因為他認為數學家找不到工作。- 史蒂芬霍金
5) 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 我父親是熱帶醫學的研究科學家。所以我一直設想自己也會是個科學家。我感覺藥物太模糊且不精確，於是我選了物理學。- 史蒂芬霍金
6) 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我只是一個從未長大的孩子。我仍然保持著問'如何'和'為什麼'的問題。偶爾，我找到了個答案。- 史蒂芬霍金
霍金人雖癱但腦不癱。損起一些部門絲毫不節省腦力。
7) I can't say that my disability has helped my work, but it has allowed me to concentrate on research without having to lecture or sit on boring committees. - Stephen Hawking 我不能說我的殘疾幫助了我的工作。但它確實使我能聚焦研究，而無需講課或坐在無聊的委員會裡。- 史蒂芬霍金
就同發現新大陸一樣，是人都有機會。但是哥倫布發現了，就是說明緣分和哥倫布比較親了。霍金顯然也和緣分有點親。
8) 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沒有人為了獲獎而進行物理學研究。發現之前無人知道的東西是一種快樂。- 史蒂芬霍金
三 人生已很苦，生活要激勵
9) However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. - Stephen Hawking不管生活看起來是如何的困難，你總可以做一些事情，並且成功。 - 史蒂芬霍金
10) People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining. - Stephen Hawking若你總是生氣或抱怨，人們沒時間理你。 - 史蒂芬霍金
11) My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically. - Stephen Hawking我對其他殘疾人的建議是，專注於做好你的殘疾不會妨礙的事情，不要為被它幹擾的事而後悔。不要在精神上和身體上都殘疾了。- 史蒂芬霍金
12) Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. - Stephen Hawking工作給了你意義和目的。沒了它，生活是空虛。 - 史蒂芬霍金
14) I believe things cannot make themselves impossible. - Stephen Hawking我相信事情不可能讓事情本身變得不可能。 - 史蒂芬霍金
15) I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. - Stephen Hawking我注意到，即使是那些聲稱所有都是天註定而且我們也無法改變的人，在他們過路口時都會看多幾下。 - 史蒂芬霍金
生活要勵志，平時還是會思考疾病的問題。而他在這方面的態度，不時調侃著自己也愉悅著別人。
四 疾病就是那麼一回事
16) I'm never any good in the morning. It is only after four in the afternoon that I get going. - Stephen Hawking 我在早上就從未好過。只有在下午四點後，我才能好好開始。- 史蒂芬霍金
18) The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years. - Stephen Hawking 診斷出患有ALS或者說運動神經元疾病的醫生告訴我，它會在兩三年內讓我死去。- 史蒂芬霍金
19) Maybe I don't have the most common kind of motor neuron disease, which usually kills in two or three years. - Stephen Hawking 也許我得的並非最常見的運動神經元疾病，那種通常會在兩三年內死去。- 史蒂芬霍金
20) Some forms of motor neuron disease are genetically linked, but I have no indication that my kind is. No other member of my family has had it. But I would be in favour of abortion if there was a high risk. - Stephen Hawking 有些類型的運動神經元疾病與遺傳有關。但無跡象表明我屬於那種。而且其他家庭成員也沒有遺傳。但若風險高，我也會贊成墮胎。- 史蒂芬霍金
21) I don't have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I'm happier now than before I developed the condition. -Stephen Hawking 我對運動神經元疾病沒有太多積極的要說。但它教會我不要自憐自艾，因為其他人的病情更糟。 而我仍可做繼續我的事。我現在比遭此狀況時更快樂了。- 史蒂芬霍金
22) The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world. - Stephen Hawking帕運會改變我們對世界的認知。- 史蒂芬霍金
23) I am British … and the National Health Service has taken great care of me. I believe in universal health care. I am not afraid to say so. - Stephen Hawking 我是英國人......國民保健服務相當照料我。 我信任全民醫療保健。我不怕這麼說。- 史蒂芬霍金
24) I wouldn't be here today if it were not for the NHS. I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived. - Stephen Hawking 如不是NHS的緣故，我今天不會來到這裡。我接受了大量高質量的治療。沒有這些治療我活不下來。- 史蒂芬霍金
25) I think those who have a terminal illness and are in great pain should have the right to choose to end their own life, and those that help them should be free from prosecution. - Stephen Hawking我認為那些患有絕症且在痛苦中的人應有權選擇結束自己的生命。而那些幫了他們的人應免除起訴。- 史蒂芬霍金
27) Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others. - Stephen Hawking 在我失聲之前，聲音就模糊不清了。只有靠近我的人才能聽懂。但用電腦合成聲音，我發現我可以舉辦大眾講座。我喜歡交流科學。若公眾不把重要的決定留給他人，他們理解基礎科學就是個關鍵。- 史蒂芬霍金
28) I can't disguise myself with a wig and dark glasses - the wheelchair gives me away. - Stephen Hawking 我不能用假髮和墨鏡掩飾自己 - 輪椅會讓我露出真面目。- 史蒂芬霍金
30) Sometimes I wonder if I'm as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries. - Stephen Hawking有時我也想知道，是否我的輪椅和殘疾導致我出名跟我的發現導致我出名是一樣的。- 史蒂芬霍金
31) Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap - it is all in the mind. - Stephen Hawking 理論物理學是少數幾個對於殘疾人卻無障礙的領域之一。這一切都在腦海中。- 史蒂芬霍金
32) I don't care much for equations myself. This is partly because it is difficult for me to write them down, but mainly because I don't have an intuitive feeling for equations. - Stephen Hawking 我自己並不太在乎方程式。部分原因是我很難寫下它們。但主要是因為我對方程式沒有直觀感受。- 史蒂芬霍金
33) Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor. - Stephen Hawking保持積極的頭腦對我的生存至關重要，一直保持著幽默感也是。- 史蒂芬霍金 嗯。思開君(skybeamer)表示很贊同。畢竟，霍金夫人就是因為被幽默感魔力吸附送上門來的。
五 思考人生
在醫生告知只有兩三年壽命之時，真乃個天空霹靂大響，英國出了個霍金，他抽到了個下下籤。
別擔心，很多人都會有抽到下下籤的時候。譬如王魯湘。 他曾於1992年到陝北佳縣黃河邊上的白雲觀。回憶起當年毛澤東到西柏坡之前，順道求籤，不料卻是下下籤，周恩來他們一看臉色為之一變。怎料毛澤東看到了哈哈大笑說好得很。在這個地方走到最低點，否極泰來。後來，過了黃河，到了西柏坡，很快就來了解放戰爭三大戰役，好一番成就。王魯湘當年也在那裡求籤。是個下下籤。 旁邊朋友都在安慰寬心。作為搞出河殤的人，王魯湘顯露本色了。他反過來叫他們不要安慰，今年的確是他人生命運的最低點。沒有比它再低的了。可是從此以後，就要開始走上坡路了，每一步都是上升的，你們應該祝賀。
牛人或許都是相似的。霍金遭遇此種困境的時候，也能放雞湯出來。看看吧。
34) When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have. - Stephen Hawking當一個人的期望降低到零時，那人會真的很欣賞自己所擁有的一切。- 史蒂芬霍金
道德經說了，故常無欲，以觀其妙。常有欲，以觀其徼！從霍金的話看來，讓他去炒股，他hin可能在谷底抄底撈個大反彈方面有天賦。
35) I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. - Stephen Hawking我不害怕死亡，但我並不急於死亡。我有很多事情想先做。- 史蒂芬霍金
36) Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest. - Stephen Hawking 科學可使人脫離貧困並治療疾病。相應地，這將減少民眾動蕩。- 史蒂芬霍金
37) I don't want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left. - Stephen Hawking我不想寫自傳。因為那樣我會成為毫無隱私的公共財產。- 史蒂芬霍金
一切盡在不言中。有理論物理學的突破，已經足夠掩蓋一切黑暗了。
39) People who boast about their I.Q. are losers. - Stephen Hawking誇誇其談秀IQ的人是輸家。- 史蒂芬霍金
請您坐下，獨自一個，慢慢秀！
40) It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value. - Stephen Hawking智力有任何長期的生存價值並不明確。- 史蒂芬霍金
41) We should seek the greatest value of our action. - Stephen Hawking 我們應該尋求我們行動的最大價值。- 史蒂芬霍金
42) All my life I have lived with the threat of an early death, so I hate wasting time. - Stephen Hawking 我一生都活在一個夭壽的威脅中，所以我憎恨浪費時間。- 史蒂芬霍金
六 多彩生活
（一）時間簡史
寫一本沒幾個人讀得懂的暢銷書，也沒誰了。圖書業界出奇蹟。
43) I first had the idea of writing a popular book about the universe in 1982. My intention was partly to earn money to pay my daughter's school fees. - Stephen Hawking 我最初在1982年想到寫一本關於宇宙的通俗書。我的部分目的是掙些錢支付我女兒的學費。- 史蒂芬霍金
44) I had not expected 'A Brief History of Time' to be a best seller. It was my first popular book and aroused a great deal of interest. Initially, many people found it difficult to understand. I therefore decided to try to write a new version that would be easier to follow. - Stephen Hawking 我原本沒期待'時間簡史'是本暢銷書。這是我的第一本暢銷書，引起了很大的興趣。開始的時候，許多人發現很難懂。因此，我決定接下來嘗試寫一個更易懂的新版本。- 史蒂芬霍金
45) I want my books sold on airport bookstalls. - Stephen Hawking 我希望我的書在機場書攤上售賣。- 史蒂芬霍金
（二）娛樂角色
霍金身體動彈不了多少，但不妨礙其角色扮演cos play的內心，各種形式的出場更加讓二次元異次元們驚嘆不已吧。
46) If I had to choose a superhero to be, I would pick Superman. He's everything that I'm not. - Stephen Hawking如果我不得不選擇一個超級英雄，我會選超人。他擁有我沒有的一切。- 史蒂芬霍金
47) My ideal role would be a baddie in a James Bond film. I think the wheelchair and the computer voice would fit the part. - Stephen Hawking 我的理想角色是扮演詹姆斯邦德電影中的壞蛋。我認為輪椅和電腦發聲很適合這個角色。- 史蒂芬霍金
48) 'The Simpsons' appearances were great fun. But I don't take them too seriously. I think 'The Simpsons' have treated my disability responsibly. - Stephen Hawking 「辛普森一家「的出場相當有趣。但我不太嚴肅對待。我認為'辛普森一家'對我的殘疾是負責任的。- 史蒂芬霍金
49) The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line. - Stephen Hawking 正如生活中的每一個領域一樣，媒體需要科學界的超級英雄。但是的確存在著沒有明確的分界線的跨界之能。- 史蒂芬霍金
50) I enjoy all forms of music - pop, classical and opera. I also share an interest in Formula One racing with my son Tim. - Stephen Hawking 我享受各種類型的音樂如流行樂、古典樂和歌劇。而且我和我的兒子提姆一樣愛好一級方程式賽車- 史蒂芬霍金
直到20世紀60年代末，霍金才勉強同意坐輪椅。後來，他時常會肆無忌憚地衝過街路，大顯危險的老司機本色。他也很喜歡在派對時，駕駛著輪椅車滿場轉圈體驗飆車樂趣。
七 科學與世界
搞科學，真的是需要點眼界。霍金的見識和言語證明了這點。
52) Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can't be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution. - Stephen Hawking 有些人會說，像愛情，歡樂和美麗這樣的事物跟科學隸屬不同的範疇，不能用科學術語來描述。但我認為現在這些可以用進化論來解釋。- 史蒂芬霍金
（一）時間旅行53) Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.' - Stephen Hawking 時間旅行一度被認為是科學界異端邪說。我曾避免談論它就是怕被人貼上「想法古怪」的標籤。- 史蒂芬霍金
54) If I had a time machine, I'd visit Marilyn Monroe in her prime or drop in on Galileo as he turned his telescope to the heavens. - Stephen Hawking如果我有時間機器，我會在其風華正茂之時訪問瑪麗蓮夢露。或者在伽利略將望遠鏡轉向天空時拜訪。- 史蒂芬霍金
用幽默的實驗方式證明時間旅行是不可能
56) Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions. - Stephen Hawking在極端條件下，時間會表現得像是太空中的另一個方向。- 史蒂芬霍金
57) The fastest manned vehicle in history was Apollo 10. It reached 25,000 mph. - Stephen Hawking 有史以來最快的載人工具是阿波羅10號。它達到每小時25,000英裡。- 史蒂芬霍金
58) I have found far greater enthusiasm for science in America than here in Britain. There is more enthusiasm for everything in America. - Stephen Hawking 在美國，我發現對科學的熱情遠遠高於在英國這裡。美國的一切都有著更多的熱情。- 史蒂芬霍金
60) I think we have a good chance of surviving long enough to colonize the solar system.- Stephen Hawking我認為我們有一個好機會足以活到殖民太陽系。- 史蒂芬霍金
61) I think the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space. - Stephen Hawking我認為若人類不進入太空就沒有未來。- 史蒂芬霍金
62) If we want to travel into the future, we just need to go fast. Really fast. And I think the only way we're ever likely to do that is by going into space. - Stephen Hawking 若我們要向未來出行，我們只需迅速走。真的很快。我認為我們迄今唯一可能做到的方式是進入太空。- 史蒂芬霍金
（二）人工智慧AI時代
當人工智慧的典範，無人駕駛的傑出代表公司如特斯拉和UBER的車子都撞死人的時候，我們更加應當深思霍金的一些預警。
63) We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. - Stephen Hawking我們只需要看看自己，就知道智能生活會如何發展到我們不想見到的地步。- 史蒂芬霍金
64) There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition. - Stephen Hawking電腦去開發智能並接管過來是一種真正的危險。我們亟需發展與大腦的直接聯繫，以便電腦能增加人的智慧，而非反過來。- 史蒂芬霍金
65) Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks. - Stephen Hawking 成功創造出人工智慧將是人類歷史上最大的事件。不幸的是，它也可能是最後一個。除非我們學會怎樣避免風險。- 史蒂芬霍金
66) There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains. - Stephen Hawking 比人腦中的粒子排列方式還要先進的粒子的組織方式，並無物理定律把這更先進的方式排除在外。- 史蒂芬霍金
67) Many badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more. - Stephen Hawking如果我們投入更多在許多迫切需要的目標上，譬如(核) 聚變和癌症治療，將會更快實現。- 史蒂芬霍金
（三）基因工程即轉基因
對於基因工程genetic engineering，另外一個說法也就是基因改造genetic modification，說得更加通俗一點也就是轉基因GMO了。這個方面，霍金還是很注意避免介入到風口浪尖的口舌是非爭鬥之中的。但他的態度明顯是屬于謹慎的。
68) With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code. - Stephen Hawking基因工程讓我們能夠增加DNA的複雜性和改善人類。但這將是一個緩慢的過程，因為人們必須等待約18年才能看到基因密碼變化的影響。- 史蒂芬霍金
69) Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of. - Stephen Hawking地球上的生命面臨不斷增加的被一場災難摧毀的風險。比如突發的全球核戰爭，基因工程病毒或其他我們尚未想到的危險。- 史蒂芬霍金
（四）外星人70) To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like. - Stephen Hawking 就我的數學大腦而言，僅憑這些數字就可以完全理性地思考外星人。真正的挑戰來自於搞清外星人實際上可能長什麼樣。- 史蒂芬霍金
71) 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如果外星人訪問我們，結果可能像哥倫布登陸美洲時一樣對原住民不好。- 史蒂芬霍金
人體和地球環境相吻合。外星人自然和外星環境相吻合。外星人帶來未知病毒是科學家擔心的事情。科學家有些擔心那種病毒對於人類來說是致命的。思開君(SKYBEAMER)有個想法，既然外星人誕生於他們自己的環境， 適應的是他們自己的環境，外星人來到地球先要適應這裡的環境，若不適應，他們首先就掛掉了。哪裡還輪得到外星人向地球人類放毒呢？ 呵呵。
（五）上帝
即便是和約翰保羅二世教皇見過面，也不能阻擋霍金保持一顆獨立的心態來敘說那個神。
72) Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. - Stephen Hawking 上帝不僅玩骰子，而且......有時他會把它們扔到人們看不見的地方。 - 史蒂芬霍金
73) God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God. - Stephen Hawking上帝是個名詞，人們藉此理由解釋何以我們存於世。但我認為那個理由是物理定律，而非與某人可以有私人關係的個體。一個非個人色彩的上帝。- 史蒂芬霍金
74) Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.- Stephen Hawking 在我們懂科學之前，相信上帝創造了宇宙是很自然的。- 史蒂芬霍金
75) There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark. - Stephen Hawking 對於破碎的電腦來說，沒有天堂或來世。那只是個害怕黑暗的人的童話故事。- 史蒂芬霍金
76) I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws. - Stephen Hawking 我相信宇宙是由科學規律支配的。這些規律可能是上帝頒布的。但上帝不會介入去違反規律。- 史蒂芬霍金
77) Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.- Stephen Hawking 科學正越來越多地解答曾屬宗教領域的問題。- 史蒂芬霍金
八 奇點理論和宇宙
奇點理論是霍金的一大成就。
78) For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein's general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin. - Stephen Hawking多年來，我與羅傑彭羅斯的早期工作似乎是一場科學災難。它揭示了若愛因斯坦的廣義相對論是對的，宇宙必以奇點開始。這似乎表明科學未能預測宇宙是如何開始。- 史蒂芬霍金
79) Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. - Stephen Hawking 仰望星星，不要踩在腳下。 試著理解你所看到的，並琢磨是什麼讓宇宙存在。 保持好奇心。- 史蒂芬霍金
81) My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all. - Stephen Hawking我的目標很簡單。就是對宇宙的完整理解，它為何如此及它究竟為何存在。- 史蒂芬霍金
82) The universe is not indifferent to our existence - it depends on it. - Stephen Hawking 宇宙並非對我們的存在無關緊要 - 要生要死全在於它。- 史蒂芬霍金
83) Many people find the universe confusing - it's not. - Stephen Hawking 許多人發現宇宙混亂 - 不是的。- 史蒂芬霍金
84) There's no way to remove the observer - us - from our perceptions of the world. - Stephen Hawking我們無法把觀察者從我們對世界的感性認識中剔除，因為那些觀察者就是我們。- 史蒂芬霍金
85) In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. - Stephen Hawking 在不到一百年的時間裡，我們找到了一種新的方式自我思索。從自以為坐落在宇宙中心，到發現我們自己其實在平均尺寸的太陽的軌道上。而太陽也僅僅是我們銀河系中數以百萬計的恆星之一。- 史蒂芬霍金
86) There is nothing bigger or older than the universe. - Stephen Hawking 沒有東西比宇宙更大或更老。- 史蒂芬霍金
87) So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator? - Stephen Hawking 只要宇宙有一個起點，我們就可假設它有個創造者。但若宇宙真是完全獨立存在的，無界限或邊緣，它就不會有起點也不會結束，那它就簡單了。然後呢，對於創造者來說，這是什麼地方？ - 史蒂芬霍金
88) We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence. - Stephen Hawking 我們認為我們已經解決了創造的奧秘。或許我們應該向宇宙申請專利並向每個人收取所有特許使用權費。- 史蒂芬霍金
89) When we understand string theory, we will know how the universe began. It won't have much effect on how we live, but it is important to understand where we come from and what we can expect to find as we explore. - Stephen Hawking 當我們懂弦理論時，我們就會知道宇宙是如何開始的。它對我們的生活沒多少影響。重要的是了解我們來自哪裡，以及我們在探索時可期望能找到什麼。- 史蒂芬霍金
90) M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find. - Stephen HawkingM理論是愛因斯坦曾試圖找尋的大統一理論。- 史蒂芬霍金
91) According to 'M' theory, ours is not the only universe. Instead, 'M' theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing. - Stephen Hawking根據'M'理論，我們的宇宙並非唯一。相反，「M」理論預測許多宇宙都是無中生有的。- 史蒂芬霍金
92) Nothing cannot exist forever. - Stephen Hawking虛無不可能永遠存在。- 史蒂芬霍金
霍金大神，你說的只要讀過幾本中國傳統文化如易經陰陽五行八卦太極相關書籍的人都知道啊。就是些有無相生，陰陽互根，生生不息的虛無飄渺的讓人頭暈的東西。萬萬沒想到你居然用理論物理學來闡述。思開君(skybeamer)鬥膽問一下，難道當初您不怕被人以科學的名義譴責您利用在西方世界的有利位置大搞特搞中式封建迷信糟粕殘渣麼？93) Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in. - Stephen Hawking 科學預測到許多不同類型的宇宙都會自發地從無到有創造出來。這是我們所處的機會。- 史蒂芬霍金
94) Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.。 - Stephen Hawking 因為有一種法則，比如引力，宇宙可以並且一定會從無到有創造出自己來。自發創造就是存在而非虛無的原因。以及為何宇宙存在，為何我們存在。- 史蒂芬霍金
95) The cyclic universe theory predicts no gravitational waves from the early universe. - Stephen Hawking 循環宇宙理論預測早期宇宙不存在引力波。- 史蒂芬霍金
96) It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time. - Stephen Hawking 現在看來，宇宙開始的方式的確可用假想的時間來確定。- 史蒂芬霍金
97) Observations indicate that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. It will expand forever, getting emptier and darker. - Stephen Hawking 觀測顯示宇宙正以不斷增加的速度擴張。它將永遠膨脹，變得更空更黑。- 史蒂芬霍金
98) I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe. - Stephen Hawking 我相信關於物理宇宙的問題，沒有科學無法回答的。- 史蒂芬霍金
99) Most people don't have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics. - Stephen Hawking大部分人都沒時間去掌握理論物理的具體數學細節。- 史蒂芬霍金
100) If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed. - Stephen Hawking若你就像我一樣信任科學，你會相信某些定律始終被遵循。- 史蒂芬霍金
101) There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions. - Stephen Hawking 我很欽佩很多死了的科學家，卻想不出任何一個活著的科學家。這可能是因為人們往往都是在蓋棺定論之時才能看到誰做出重大貢獻。- 史蒂芬霍金
102) As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us - aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone. - Stephen Hawking作為科學家，我們站在科學的肩膀上建造我們面前的工作。旨在激發新一代年輕科學家一旦在我們離開後能繼續前進。- 史蒂芬霍金
103) It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's day hadn't made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal. - Stephen Hawking愛因斯坦的夢想是發現一個簡單理論足以解釋宇宙的一切偉大設計。然而，愛因斯坦時代的物理學家尚未有足夠進展去理解自然之力讓其夢想成為實際的目標。- 史蒂芬霍金
104) If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist. - Stephen Hawking 若我們確實發現了一個完整的理論，那麼廣義上來說每個人都應當及時地理解得了它。然後我們所有人，哲學家，科學家和只是普通人都可參與討論為何我們和宇宙存在。- 史蒂芬霍金
105) Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics. - Stephen Hawking 哲學家們並沒有跟上科學的現代發展的節奏。物理方面尤甚。- 史蒂芬霍金
展 望未來，霍金提示研究宇宙的暗物質或許能在宇宙學中得到下一階段的重大突破。
106) The missing link in cosmology is the nature of dark matter and dark energy. - Stephen Hawking 宇宙學中的缺失一環就是暗物質和暗能量的本性。- 史蒂芬霍金
107) I think it quite likely that we are the only civilization within several hundred light years; otherwise we would have heard radio waves. - Stephen Hawking 我認為我們很可能是數百光年範圍內唯一的文明。否則的話我們早聽到無線電波了。- 史蒂芬霍金
九 黑洞與霍金輻射
霍金輻射是霍金研究的一個偉大成就。
108) It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years. - Stephen Hawking 若你在困境中，憤怒並不好。我所做的就是一直思考這個問題，但卻繼續做其他事。有時候我要花費很多年才能看出前方的路。具體到信息缺失及黑洞的情形來說，花了29年。- 史蒂芬霍金
109) I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science. - Stephen Hawking 我曾以為信息在黑洞中被毀滅。這是我最大的失誤，或者至少是我在科學上的最大失誤。- 史蒂芬霍金
110) The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it. - Stephen Hawking大爆炸中遺留下來的輻射與微波爐中的輻射相同，但弱多了。它只會將你的比薩加熱到零下271.3℃ - 對比薩解凍來說不太好，更別提烹飪了。- 史蒂芬霍金
111) Only black holes of very low mass would emit a significant amount of radiation. - Stephen Hawking 只有很小質量的黑洞才會發出顯著的輻射。- 史蒂芬霍金
112) 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 我預測黑洞應該像熱的身體一樣發光。即便幾乎是每個理論物理學家都同意我，但因宏觀黑洞的溫度如此低，以至於實驗驗證起來將非常難。- 史蒂芬霍金
113) There are no black holes in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. - Stephen Hawking 從光線無法逃到無限空間的規則意義上來說，沒有黑洞。- 史蒂芬霍金
114) It's a pity that nobody has found an exploding black hole. If they had, I would have won a Nobel prize. - Stephen Hawking可惜尚未有人發現爆炸的黑洞。若有，我可能早獲得了諾貝爾獎。 - 史蒂芬霍金
十 結尾之未解之謎
作為高智商的人，自然是有獨特的思考角度和視野。同樣也會有自己的困惑。
115) A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality? - Stephen Hawking幾年前，義大利蒙扎市議會禁止寵物主人將金魚養在彎曲的魚缸中......據說，將魚放在彎曲的魚缸中是一種殘忍的行為。因為魚望出去會產生扭曲的現實觀感。問題來了，我們怎麼知道我們擁有真實的，沒有扭曲的現實圖景呢？ - 史蒂芬霍金
116) There is no unique picture of reality. - Stephen Hawking現實並非僅有一個圖景。 - 史蒂芬霍金
118) One can't predict the weather more than a few days in advance. - Stephen Hawking人們無法提前幾天預測天氣。 - 史蒂芬霍金
119) It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics. - Stephen Hawking 人們普遍認為，在語言、人際關係和多任務處理方面，女性比男性好。但在地圖識別和空間意識方面較不擅長。因此，假設女性可能不太擅長數學和物理，並非不合理。- 史蒂芬霍金
120) In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics. - Stephen Hawking 過去，科學界對女性的歧視很活躍。現在算已經過去了，儘管還有殘餘影響。但這些還不足以解釋婦女數量上的少數存在，特別是在數學和物理學方面。- 史蒂芬霍金
122) While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women. - Stephen Hawking雖然物理學和數學可以告訴我們宇宙是如何開始的，但它們在預測人類行為方面作用不大，因為需要解決涉及的方程式太多了。我並不比其他人更了解什麼才能讓人開心，尤其是女性。- 史蒂芬霍金
嗯，我們知道了女性就是他的迷思。那對於我們普羅大眾，這個是否也算是個迷思呢？
