Quote of the Day by Stephen Hawking: 'There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers.'

Stephen Hawking, diagnosed with a motor neuron disease early in life, defied expectations to become a renowned cosmologist. He viewed the universe as governed by natural laws, not divine intent, and saw consciousness as a product of the brain's physical processes, thus no afterlife. Hawking found meaning in life's finite nature, urging a focus on curiosity and discovery.
