Max Weiss : This room is about the size of the vat he used to fill with fluid. Manning put photomultiplier tubes there, there, there - linked to a computer, programmed to pick out signs of proton decay. But do you know what he looked for?... One mode only!... Here - a positron track, going one way; the other way, the neutral pion. But what if protons don't decay that way, but into a positron and two neutrinos? Manning's computers never would have found them, because they weren't looking for them. Protons could have been decaying every day! Do you know what that means?... We can synthesize three of the basic forces of the universe. We would be on the verge of... of reading the mind of God.

Claire Kincaid : You had insight into proton decay, and Edward Manning stole it. Do you want the rest of the scientific community to know this, or not?
Max Weiss : You don't understand. I don't care about scientific reputation; I care about science.
