Just watched it and i thought it was quite good. It showed how hard he must have found life after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and also how good a physician he was.

I want to go to Cambridge and study physics or maths so i found it reall interesting.

I was going to watch that, then got into research mode for relocating file transfer meters (figured out a way to do it finally :D), next thing I know it was 8:30! So I missed it :(

I hope they do a webcast version so I can watch it tomorrow when I'm bored of revision.

If they do have a webcast version I think you should watch it, especially if you're interested in physics and the big band theory.

It finished at 9:30 btw.

It was actually first show in April 2004.

You may find some information on that site about the documentary :)


RE: Stephen Hawkin bio movie on BBC2 atm by CookieRevised on 05-15-2005 at 10:22 PM

it's also available on dvd...

I would argue that Kip S. Thorne is probably as intelligent as Stephen Hawking.

I saw this a while ago on BBC, it was on a while ago. It was a great watch, you learn a lot about his work and life...Also it has a lot of humour about the two other scientists who proved his work right. A movie which combines loads of features into one amazing story.


RE: Stephen Hawkin bio movie on BBC2 by Stigmata on 05-16-2005 at 03:52 PM

last night was the third time i have watched it :)

its very good ;)

I've watched a lot of documentaries on Stephen Hawkin, he is a very intelligent man, although some of his theories have been proven wrong, and he has even admitted that they were wrong...

It's a shame that he has got Motor Neurone Disease :(.


RE: Stephen Hawkin bio movie on BBC2 by emit on 05-18-2005 at 01:38 AM

everyone is calling him Hawkin, it's Hawking - with a g.

Johnny - I know, but you can notice intuitive things.

HA!...i could say i would argue that im just as smart and you couldnt say anything becaus eyou cant mesure intelegance!:P:D:D

No dylan, we can prove your not as smart as Time because you just posted that.
