A secondary, interwoven storyline follows a different but connected scientific quest. Unbeknownst to Hawking, just as he was being diagnosed in 1963, two American scientists were embarking on their own scientific mission. Their research was to produce hard evidence to support Hawking's theoretical work.
A parallel storyline unfolds, detailing an independent but related scientific quest. At the time of Hawking's diagnosis in 1963, two American researchers embarked on a mission to collect empirical proof supporting Hawking's theoretical framework.
