The heat we were receiving from out there,
should have been two degrees colder than the cold load, the reference.
- But it was hotter, three degrees hotter.
- Hotter than the Milky Way could produce.
Hotter than the sum of all the galaxies beyond.
So we think..
It had to be something closer to home.
We had an idea. Was that you who had the idea?
I don't remember. Oh we had a whole laundry list of ideas.
Maybe it was me. Maybe it was you.
You were a team.
- Maybe it was me.
- What was the idea?
There was some high-altitude bomb testing back in the 50's.
Maybe it's the leftover radiation, maybe our hiss is fallout.
But it would've diminished over the time
and what we were getting
- Totally constant. No diminishing.
- Back to the laundry list.
Sciama.
Dennis, yes.
I don't know. S-H-A-R-M-A?
Um, I think it's Italian.
Dennis Sciama?
- Yes?
- Frank Hawking.
Hello, young man.
- Do I know you?
- Stephen Hawking.
- I applied for you to supervise my PhD.
- Too busy was I?
Yes I think so.
- Brains, balls and cash.
- I'm sorry?
Physics, in this country, it's a battlefield and a bloody one.
You need brains, which ought to be enough, but it isn't cause you need cash
to fund whatever you're brain's working on,...
...and to get cash out of anyone in this country you need balls,
because they'll try and stop you.
You'll see.
You found a subject?
Any ideas?
- I don't know yet.
- Well when you do, remember this.
You'll have to fight for what you believe in
tooth and nail or the buggers will stop you.
Physics means everything to him.
I want him to be happy, Mr. Sciama.
- What can I do?
- I want you to set him a question that he can...finish.
Something easy enough for him to finishbefore he dies.
Could you do that? Please?
My students and my science are everything to me.
I try to be true to both.
Which is why I can't do what you ask me Dr. Hawking.
I'm sorry.
Cosmology. The ghetto science.
All speculation and no proof.
The ghetto science?
How did we get here, where are we going,
what is time?
- It asks all the big questions.
- Stephen!
Have you got a subject?
Have you brought a big idea back with you?
- No.
- Plenty of time. Plenty of time.
The greatest achievement of physics
Rutherford, Oppenheimer, what have they given us?
The atomic bomb?
What's the point in asking, how we got here
and where are we going,
if Einstein and your mob
