THEORY OF EVERYTHING-Is NOT a BRIEF History of Stephen Hawking

The beautifully filmed movie THEORY of EVERYTHING includes quantum information on Stephen Hawking, but then it's all relative.  This wonderfully acted movie starring Eddie Redmayne as Hawking & Felicity Jones (think Reese Witherspoon as a brunette with an British accent) as his first wife Jane follows them from the time they were students at Cambridge to the present.  It didn't feel there were any darkholes in the story telling; it's long winded and not likely to appeal to the masses.  But, for those who love a biopic movie of a remarkable man & are interested to learn about his love life & philosophies, this movie will draw you to its epicenter.  Shortly after Stephen & Jane meet in 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS.  The prognosis given by his physician was only 2 years to live.  This prognosis has been proven false.  Hawking also proves & disproves his own theories pertaining to blackholes.  As Jane so eloquently summarized her husband's objective, "to find a simple equation to explain everything since the beginning of time."  Everything in life is in a constant state of flux.  People have always craved an understanding of the underlying order of the world.  Hawking maintains there are no boundaries to the unvierse or human endeavor.  For those who wish to learn more about Hawking's personal history & have patience for this yawning yarn, there is hope that you will be rewarded.  Then again, "One never knows do one." (F. Walker)
