Stephen Hawking was an icon of modern science and a visionary whose ideas transcended the limits of space and time. The circumstances surrounding Hawking's last words have been the subject of speculation and curiosity since his death.
According to the book published posthumously by his daughter, Lucy Hawking, one of his last phrases was “There is no God, no one runs the universe” In the last chapter the author tries to answer the question: How do we shape the future? and he says: “Remember to look up at the stars and not at your feet. ”
