The Theory of Everything

& Brian: What if the secret of the universe had something to do with sex? Maybe do your doctorate on that... The physics of love.

& Stephen Hawking: I’m a cosmologist.
    Jane: What’s that?
    Stephen Hawking: It’s a kind of religion for intelligent atheists.

& Roger Penrose: So, this is where J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, and where Rutherford split the atom... You know, one of the great rewards of this job is one never knows from where the next great leap forward is going to come, or from whom.

& Stephen Hawking: No. I don’t dance. It’s a phenomenon I’m very happy to observe, but I can’t possibly imagine participating.

& Doctor: It’s called motor neuron disease. It’s a progressive neurological disorder that destroys the cells in the brain that control essential muscle activity, such as speaking, walking... breathing, swallowing. The signals that muscles must receive in order to move are disrupted. The result is gradual muscle decay. Wasting away. Eventually, the ability to control voluntary movement is lost. Entirely. I’m afraid average life expectancy is two years... There’s nothing I can do for you.
    Stephen Hawking: What about the brain?
    Doctor: The brain isn’t affected. Your thoughts won’t change, it’s... just that... Well, eventually, no one will know what they are.

& Roger Penrose: So, what next?
    Stephen Hawking: Prove it. To prove with a single equation that time has a beginning. Wouldn’t that be nice, Professor? The one simple, elegant equation to explain everything.


& Stephen Hawking: This is temporary.

& Jane: «Who are we? Why are we here? If we ever learn this, it will be the ultimate triumph of human reason, for then we would know the mind of God.» Do you mean this?
    Stephen Hawking: Yes. Of course.
    Jane: So, you’re acknowledging Him?
    Stephen Hawking: However...

& — You have said you do not believe in God. Do you have a philosophy of life that helps you?
    Stephen Hawking: It is clear that we are just an advanced breed of primates on a minor planet orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among 100 billion galaxies. But, ever since the dawn of civilization, people have craved for an understanding of the underlying order of the world. There ought to be something very special about the boundary conditions of the universe. And what can be more special than that there is no boundary... And there should be no boundary to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope.
