斯蒂芬·霍金的《时间简史》问世已经20年了。1988年，这部巨作的黑洞理论震撼了全世界。霍金教授现在觉得，他原先相信不久即将找到的“终极理论”——能解释宇宙、生命及一切起源的理论——现在的进展依然缓慢。尽管体质非常虚弱、任务又如此艰巨，霍金教授依然忘我工作着； 在短暂的采访片段中，还有这样的特别镜头吸引我们的目光——霍金教授和他的博士研究生分享微波炉加热的咖喱餐。尽管他的科普经典书籍已经获得了巨大的成功，霍金教授仍然孜孜不倦地继续探索着量子，以及他的其它一些让人震撼的研究。（感谢社区的几位朋友对microwave curry的讨论。
Twenty years after A Brief History of Time flummoxed the world with its big numbers and black holes, its author, Stephen Hawking, concedes that the "ultimate theory" he'd believed to be imminent - which would conclusively explain the origins of life, the universe and everything - remains frustratingly elusive. Yet despite his failing health and the seeming impossibility of the task, Hawking is still devoted to his work; an extraordinary drive that's captured here in fleeting interview snippets and footage of the boffin sharing a microwave curry with some fawning PhD students. Though the pop-science tutorials that dapple the first of this two-part biography are winningly perky, Hawking, alas, remains as tricky to fathom as his boggling quantum whatnots.
