@whatiwasgoingtosay Maybe it's intentional, like Penzias and Wilson scripted what they wanted to say for the interview

The American guys' dialog is utter shit. Oh my God. I can't decide if it's the acting or the writing. Ugh. Everything else is wonderful.

Haha, I've written my "special task" (can't think of a proper translation in Benedict's presence :D ) in physics about relativity :D I love how he explains it :D It's much easier this way. Funny thing: Steven Hawkings books helped me understanding...
