The Theory of Everything Movie Quotes
Stephen Hawking
There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.

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 a hundred 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.

Stephen, your 'motor-mouth' disease, does it affect, um...

What?

What? No. Different system. Automatic.

I will write a book.
Jane Hawking
About what?
Stephen Hawking
Time.
Jane Hawking
Time?
Stephen Hawking
What is the nature of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back in time? Some day these answers may seem as obvious to us as the Earth orbiting the sun, or perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of tortoises. Only time, that's what we say.

Cockcroft Guest 2

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.

Einstein hated peas. Quantum theory. He said, "God doesn't play dice with the universe."
Stephen Hawking
Seems he not only *plays* dice, but he throws them where we can't find them.
Jane Hawking
God is back on the endangered species list.
Jonathan Hellyer Jones
Well, I expect he'll cope.

In 1979, you talked about the possibility of a theory of everything being discovered before the end of the century.

I now predict that I was wrong.

Khalatnikov
[to a room full of physicists]
As you know, my field is evolution of the hot universe, the properties of the microwave background radiation and the theory of black holes. To be honest, I came here today expecting to hear a lot of nonsense. I go home disappointed. The little one here has done it! He has done it!

Stephen Hawking
No, this is a black hole theory.
Jane Hawking
Time began at a certain point. There was a moment of creation. This is God's work.
Stephen Hawking
I think you'll find the equations are mine, but good point. Let's put a copyright symbol on the front page to avoid conflict.

Jonathan Hellyer Jones
Stephen, Jane was telling me that you have a beautiful, theorem. That proves that the universe, had a beginning. Is that it?
Stephen Hawking
That was my PhD thesis. My new project disproves it.
Jonathan Hellyer Jones
Disproves it?
Stephen Hawking
Yes.
Jonathan Hellyer Jones
So then you no longer believe in the creation?
Stephen Hawking
What one believes is irrelevant in physics."

Dennis Sciama
I don't understand. You've spent years assuming black holes exist, and you believe Cygnus X-1 could well turn out to be the first black hole that we can actually observe. And yet, you've bet Kip Thorne it's not a black hole.
Stephen Hawking
Yes.
Dennis Sciama
What did you bet him?
Stephen Hawking
A one-year subscription to a magazine.
Dennis Sciama
Which magazine? Nature?
Stephen Hawking
No. Penthouse.

I don't think you realize what lies ahead, Jane. His life is going to be very short, so... be careful. The weight of science is against you. And this will not be a fight, Jane. This is going to be a very heavy defeat. For all of us.
Jane Hawking
I know what you all think, that... that I don't look like a terribly strong person. But I love him. And he loves me. We're going to fight this illness together. All of us.
