Stephen and Lucy Hawking's Scientist's Oath

I swear to use my scientific knowledge for the good of Humanity. I promise never to harm any person in search of enlightenment. I shall be courageous and careful in my quest for greater knowledge about the mysteries that surround us.

If I break my oath, may the beauty and wonder of the Universe forever remain hidden from me.
