Quote by Stephen Hawking

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?

Summary

This quote by Stephen Hawking explores the concept of the existence of a creator in relation to the nature of the universe. Hawking suggests that if the universe is self-contained, meaning it has no boundaries or edges, it would exist without a distinct beginning or end. In such a scenario, the need for a creator becomes questionable, as the universe would simply be an eternal entity with no space for an external creator. Hawking's words highlight the potential conflict between the idea of a creator and the possibility of an infinite and self-sufficient universe.
