Stephen Hawking Quantum Physics Quotes & Sayings

Not only does God play dice but ... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. — Stephen Hawking

Ultimately, my Ph.D. is in mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory and curved space-time, and I worked with Stephen Hawking. — Nathan Myhrvold

Quantum physics might seem to undermine the idea that nature is governed by laws, but that is not the case. Instead it leads us to accept a new form of determinism: given the state of a system at some time, the laws of nature determine the probabilities of various futures and pasts rather than determining the future and past with certainty. — Stephen Hawking

So Einstein was wrong when he said, "God does not play dice." Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen. — Stephen Hawking

In fact, according to quantum physics, each particle has some probability of being found anywhere in the universe. — Stephen Hawking
