The Theory of Everything behind the scenes gags
The Theory of Everything quotes
-
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!

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.
