How Accurate Is The Theory of Everything?

Thanks for the post. I'm still wondering if that third kid is Hawking's, tho...
shareif you're saying this because of disability, i can assure you for better or worse, a lot of times the reproductive organs are the only ones that DO work on a disabled person. I can't feel if I have to go #1 or #2 but GOOD GOD i feel my cramps. like he says in the film, completely different system.

No need to wonder. Timothy was born some years before Jane became intimate with Jonathan. You can also see a definite resemblance between Tim and Stephen. The film compresses the timeline of events (as films often do) so the viewer could infer that Tim was not Stephen's son but in reality there was no chance he was anyone else's. Jane's original autobiography explains some of the relevant details, but never in a prurient way. share
The film did a lot more than infer it, his family came right out and asked her.

Um, the film does not think, so cannot "infer." However, the presentation in the film can imply something, which can then lead the viewers to infer (draw conclusions) from that presentation.
They did make the children appear closer in age to each other than they actually were, and made it appear that Jane and Jonathan became a couple much, much sooner than in fact happened.
In the book Jane describes the scene pretty much the way it appears in the film, minus the time compression. The statement on Stephen's mother's part that "we never really liked you, Jane" (or something like that) was in the book, too. However, Stephen's family members, other than his kids, boycotted the film and loudly criticized the way the parents were portrayed.

well of course they do. vivian cash didn't like how she was portrayed as a nagging hag in 'walk the line' but c'est la vie. share
stephen's mother did ask Jane in real life, according to her book. But jane was emphatic that Tim was Stephen's child. She had not at that time had a secual relationship with Jonathan, that came later.
