1
00:00:02,530 --> 00:00:05,531
Hey! Look what I got everybody.
2
00:00:05,533 --> 00:00:09,769
Newspapers? Did you find
a portal back to the 1990s?
3
00:00:11,072 --> 00:00:13,306
No. If he had that,
he'd be trying to prevent NSYNC
4
00:00:13,308 --> 00:00:14,940
from breaking up.
5
00:00:14,942 --> 00:00:16,676
Oh, please.
I'm glad they broke up.
6
00:00:16,678 --> 00:00:19,378
Otherwise, Justin would
never have brought sexy back.
7
00:00:20,548 --> 00:00:22,948
One thing you can't get
on an iPad,
8
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:25,518
(inhales)
the smell of ink and paper.
9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,920
One more reason
iPads are better.
10
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:31,090
They reviewed
my planetarium show.
11
00:00:31,092 --> 00:00:33,993
Yeah. It's on page three
of the Arts and Leisure section.
12
00:00:41,903 --> 00:00:44,470
Oh, look, they still
have Far Side.
13
00:00:44,472 --> 00:00:46,439
Oh, I don't
get that one.
14
00:00:46,441 --> 00:00:49,308
Oh, he's pushing
when he should be pulling.
15
00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:53,646
Hmm. I don't think he belongs
in that gifted school, then.
16
00:00:53,648 --> 00:00:55,448
What are you doing?
Making a boat.
17
00:00:55,450 --> 00:00:57,550
When I was a kid,
my dad showed me how.
18
00:00:57,552 --> 00:01:00,419
Boy, you'll do anything
to avoid reading.
19
00:01:01,756 --> 00:01:03,756
Guys, it's under
“Things to do this weekend.”
20
00:01:03,758 --> 00:01:05,558
I can't find it.
What does it say?
21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,828
That it's a thing
to do this weekend.
22
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:11,630
That's great, Raj.
Congratulations.
23
00:01:11,632 --> 00:01:12,798
You know, while we're bragging,
24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,433
The Journal
of Prosthetic Medicine
25
00:01:14,435 --> 00:01:16,669
just wrote up the project that
Howard and I are working on.
26
00:01:16,671 --> 00:01:18,804
Well, you didn't
tell me that.
27
00:01:18,806 --> 00:01:21,040
Oh, it just came out.
It's just a little blurb.
28
00:01:21,042 --> 00:01:23,109
Oh, well, good for you.
29
00:01:23,111 --> 00:01:25,344
You know, Bert and I have
started isolating zircons
30
00:01:25,346 --> 00:01:27,813
from meteorites
for our dark matter search.
31
00:01:27,815 --> 00:01:29,181
Oh. Well, how nice.
32
00:01:29,183 --> 00:01:30,616
Everyone's doing
impressive work.
33
00:01:30,618 --> 00:01:32,351
What have you been
working on these days?
34
00:01:32,353 --> 00:01:35,154
Whoa, whoa. Where'd
that come from?
35
00:01:35,156 --> 00:01:37,223
Where did what come from?
(stammers)
36
00:01:37,225 --> 00:01:38,524
I try to be supportive,
37
00:01:38,526 --> 00:01:41,927
and you break out the hot
lights and the rubber hose.
38
00:01:41,929 --> 00:01:43,596
I just asked
what you've been working on.
39
00:01:43,598 --> 00:01:45,564
Oh, my God, let it go.
40
00:01:45,566 --> 00:01:47,032
Do you believe this guy?
41
00:01:47,034 --> 00:01:49,835
I did it!
42
00:01:51,372 --> 00:01:54,306
See? It's a... it's a boat.
43
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:59,678

@elder_man
54
00:02:26,913 --> 00:02:29,280
Okay, how do you want
to play this?
55
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:31,449
Do you want to pretend like
nothing's bothering you
56
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:33,484
and blow up later,
or do you just want to be
57
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:35,420
a maniac right now?
58
00:02:35,422 --> 00:02:38,489
Nothing is bothering me.
59
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:40,458
Fine. Be that way.
60
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:44,662
If you want to talk,
I'll be flushing my sinuses.
61
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:46,497
Wait.
62
00:02:46,499 --> 00:02:48,166
I have a confession.
63
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:50,868
When I berated Leonard,
64
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:53,738
it was a clever ruse
to conceal the fact
65
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:55,940
that I'm not
working on anything.
66
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:58,443
Well, I think
I speak for everyone
67
00:02:58,445 --> 00:03:01,646
when I say, “No!”
68
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:05,817
The truth is I have
nothing of interest to pursue.
69
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:08,052
Well, maybe this is
the perfect opportunity
70
00:03:08,054 --> 00:03:10,888
to take some time
for yourself and refocus.
71
00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:13,958
I'm sure you'll find something
you're excited about.
72
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,626
Thank you, Amy.
73
00:03:15,628 --> 00:03:18,029
I don't know what I'd do
without you.
74
00:03:19,099 --> 00:03:21,833
Hey, can I stay here?
Sheldon kicked me out.
75
00:03:21,835 --> 00:03:23,935
Well, is everything okay?
76
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:26,637
Yeah. He just wants
some alone time to work.
77
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,772
Fine.
Make yourself at home.
78
00:03:27,774 --> 00:03:29,307
Yeah. We were just about
to watch a little TV.
79
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:30,408
You're welcome
to join us.
80
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:31,642
Thanks. I'll be right with you.
81
00:03:31,644 --> 00:03:34,045
I just have to, uh,
do my neti pot.
82
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:46,491
So what are you guys
gonna watch?
83
00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:50,695
Okay.
84
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:53,131
Hey, uh, what do you think
we should open our show with?
85
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:58,035
Uh, “Thor and Doctor Jones”
or “Let's Get Astrophysical”?
86
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:00,104
I don't know. I think
we should start with something
87
00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:01,539
that gets them up on their feet.
88
00:04:01,541 --> 00:04:04,308
Maybe
“Sherlock Around the Clock.”
89
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:06,644
Great, yeah.
Uh, let's give it a try.
90
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:09,614
(playing rock music)
91
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:12,049
BERNADETTE (over monitor):
Halley's napping! Keep it down!
92
00:04:12,051 --> 00:04:13,785
Oh. Right. Sorry.
93
00:04:13,787 --> 00:04:17,155
It's cool.
We don't need volume to rock.
94
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:19,323
Instead of blowing
the roof off this place,
95
00:04:19,325 --> 00:04:21,025
we can gently lift it off
96
00:04:21,027 --> 00:04:23,694
and set it quietly down
in the backyard.
97
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:25,863
(whispering):
Okay.
98
00:04:25,865 --> 00:04:27,432
One, two, three, four.
99
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:29,300
(playing quietly)
100
00:04:29,302 --> 00:04:31,235
(quietly):
♪ Holmes said to Watson ♪
101
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:32,837
♪ On Baker Street ♪
102
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,472
♪ Come on, Doctor ♪
103
00:04:34,474 --> 00:04:36,407
♪ Time to move them feet ♪
104
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:38,309
(whispers):
Sing it with us.
105
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:40,311
♪ Sherlock, Sherlock ♪
106
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:42,046
♪ Sherlock around the clock ♪
107
00:04:42,048 --> 00:04:43,514
(whispers):
We can't hear you.
108
00:04:43,516 --> 00:04:45,316
♪ Sherlock, Sherlock ♪
109
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:47,518
♪ Sherlock around the clock ♪
110
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,687
(Halley crying)
111
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,889
BERNADETTE:
Nice going.
112
00:04:51,891 --> 00:04:53,891
Sorry. Sorry. I'll get her.
113
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:55,760
One sec.
114
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:57,161
(Halley continues crying)
115
00:04:57,163 --> 00:04:59,931
BERNADETTE:
You bought diapers, right?
116
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,201
Be right back.
117
00:05:03,203 --> 00:05:05,503
(whispers):
Rock and roll!
118
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:11,108
Okay. Scratch paper, check.
119
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:13,177
Whiteboard, check.
120
00:05:13,179 --> 00:05:16,547
Chex Mix, check.
121
00:05:16,549 --> 00:05:19,650
And here we go.
(grunts)
122
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,018
(ringtone playing)
123
00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:23,654
Oh, dang it.
124
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:25,189
Hello, Mother.
125
00:05:25,191 --> 00:05:27,124
Hi there, Shelly.
You will never believe
126
00:05:27,126 --> 00:05:30,027
who I ran into
at the barbecue festival.
127
00:05:30,029 --> 00:05:32,597
I am right in the middle
of some very important work.
128
00:05:32,599 --> 00:05:34,599
I don't have time for this
right now.
129
00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:36,801
Then why did you
answer the phone?
130
00:05:36,803 --> 00:05:38,970
Because you raised me
to be polite.
131
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:40,771
Now stop bothering me.
132
00:06:10,470 --> 00:06:12,703
Hello again.
133
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:15,773
Who did you see
at the barbecue festival?
134
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:17,742
Mr. Watkins.
135
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:19,043
Really?
136
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:21,412
You called me and interrupted
my work to tell me
137
00:06:21,414 --> 00:06:24,148
that you ran into somebody
you could plausibly run into?
138
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:26,517
I'm sorry, Mother,
I really need to focus here.
139
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:28,152
I will speak to you next week.
140
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,354
Okay, sweetheart.
I'll talk to you then.
141
00:06:30,356 --> 00:06:32,023
(sighs)
142
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:42,900
I thought Mr. Watkins
moved to Florida.
143
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:46,437
He did.
He was back visiting his son.
144
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:48,606
Oh, gosh darn it,
that is interesting.
145
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:50,374
Was it Tommy or Joe?
146
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:52,877
I bet it was Joe, 'cause
he and Tommy had a falling out
147
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:55,046
over that time-share.
148
00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:58,783
You guys do anything
fun after dinner?
149
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:01,218
Well, actually Amy came
back over and we hung out.
150
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:03,387
Did you know that we're both
spelling bee champs?
151
00:07:03,389 --> 00:07:06,991
We stayed up for hours
trying to stump each other.
152
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:08,659
Who won?
153
00:07:08,661 --> 00:07:11,128
Oh, she thought she had me
with “appoggiatura,”
154
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:14,398
but I shut that down
expeditiously.
155
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,001
E-X-P-E-D-I-T-I-O-U-S-L-Y.
156
00:07:17,003 --> 00:07:19,136
Expeditiously.
157
00:07:19,138 --> 00:07:23,441
Wow. I bet that made Penny
take off all of her clothes.
158
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:27,912
Put her pajamas on and
then go to bed early.
159
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,880
At, like, 9:00.
Yeah.
160
00:07:29,882 --> 00:07:32,416
- Hey. - Hey.
- Hey.
161
00:07:32,418 --> 00:07:34,385
Oh, are we still on
for band practice this evening?
162
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:35,853
Oh, shoot.
163
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:38,889
I promised I would take Halley
over to Bernadette's parents.
164
00:07:38,891 --> 00:07:40,535
Dude, the gig is,
like, next weekend.
165
00:07:40,559 --> 00:07:41,560
I know.
166
00:07:41,561 --> 00:07:43,761
I'm sorry. (sighs)
I really want to do this,
167
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:46,263
but I just don't think
I have the time.
168
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:49,000
Okay. I-I guess
I'll have to cancel.
169
00:07:49,002 --> 00:07:52,303
Toby Greenbaum will have to
become a man without us.
170
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,739
Too bad, you guys
kill at bar mitzvahs.
171
00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:57,575
And other events that
people can't leave.
172
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,279
I don't want to be the one
who breaks up the band.
173
00:08:02,281 --> 00:08:04,915
You know, maybe you should...
(chuckles)
174
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:06,717
think about replacing me.
175
00:08:06,719 --> 00:08:08,786
Okay.
I mean,
176
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,822
I know it'll be hard since we...
177
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:13,824
Oh, I bet Bert could do it.
He plays guitar.
178
00:08:13,826 --> 00:08:15,059
I'm gonna go ask him.
179
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:21,666
I guess he forgot that
I play the cello.
180
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:25,169
I-I don't think he did.
181
00:08:26,406 --> 00:08:28,339
Okay, I think it's ready.
182
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:30,174
Should we put on
safety goggles?
183
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:33,878
Well, the funnest fun
is the safest fun, so yes.
184
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,012
Hey.
185
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:36,047
Hi.
Hello.
186
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:39,016
Oh, Amy, you're here... again.
187
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:40,951
Yeah, Sheldon said he needed
another night to work,
188
00:08:40,953 --> 00:08:42,753
so I said I'd give him
some space.
189
00:08:42,755 --> 00:08:44,121
So what's all this?
190
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:46,791
Well, Amy and I were talking
about old science fair projects,
191
00:08:46,793 --> 00:08:48,492
and how fun it would be
to recreate them.
192
00:08:48,494 --> 00:08:50,027
We're making hot ice.
193
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,195
Mm-hmm. It's pretty cool.
194
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:53,564
(chuckles) Nice one.
Yeah.
195
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:54,899
Turns out we both
196
00:08:54,901 --> 00:08:57,668
did this as our science fair
projects in ninth grade.
197
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,470
Do you remember any of
your high school projects?
198
00:08:59,472 --> 00:09:03,040
Uh, well, I remember
telling Jenny Runyon
199
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,242
that I would teach her
how to flirt with boys
200
00:09:05,244 --> 00:09:06,877
if she put my name
on her project.
201
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:11,148
I got an “A,” she got pregnant.
202
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:14,051
Girls like you are why I had to
come straight home after school.
203
00:09:15,421 --> 00:09:18,022
Check this out.
204
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:22,093
PENNY:
Wow, that's amazing.
205
00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:23,360
LEONARD:
Mm-hmm.
206
00:09:23,362 --> 00:09:25,396
The crystallization is
an exothermic process,
207
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:26,897
so the ice is actually hot.
208
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:28,999
I won first place for this.
So did I.
209
00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:31,268
I threw Jenny's baby shower.
210
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:33,637
Oh, hey, in seventh grade,
211
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,172
I built a cobra wave.
You want to do that?
212
00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:37,575
Oh, we can come up with
a wave speed formula,
213
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,844
and see how accurately
we can predict the amplitude.
214
00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:41,512
Wow, I didn't think
anything could top
215
00:09:41,514 --> 00:09:44,782
last night's spelling bee,
but here comes math.
216
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:47,451
I'm sorry, we-we don't
have to do more experiments.
217
00:09:47,453 --> 00:09:49,420
Let's do something
we can all enjoy.
218
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:51,989
Hey, uh, you want to watch
that show you like
219
00:09:51,991 --> 00:09:55,092
where people want to buy a house
and then they do?
220
00:09:55,962 --> 00:09:57,294
No, no, you guys do
your experiments.
221
00:09:57,296 --> 00:09:58,295
I'll go pick up dinner.
222
00:09:58,297 --> 00:09:59,230
Are you sure?
223
00:09:59,232 --> 00:10:00,397
Yeah, you're having science fun,
224
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,968
and I don't want to interfere,
or watch you.
225
00:10:11,677 --> 00:10:13,811
Did I actually do it?
226
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:17,982
I did. I did.
227
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,621
The answer is one in 18 million.
228
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,523
What is?
229
00:10:25,525 --> 00:10:28,859
The odds of you
running into Mr. Watkins.
230
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:31,262
Oh, Shelly.
I have bad news.
231
00:10:31,264 --> 00:10:33,664
Mr. Watkins passed this morning.
232
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:35,533
Oh.
233
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:37,668
Oh, I'm-I'm sorry.
234
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:40,104
I know.
What are the odds of that?
235
00:10:40,106 --> 00:10:42,373
Call you back.
236
00:10:48,456 --> 00:10:50,389
LEONARD: Now let's
calculate the amplitude!
237
00:10:50,391 --> 00:10:52,625
AMY:
All right!
238
00:10:58,199 --> 00:11:01,434
Sheldon? Sheldon? Sheldon?
239
00:11:04,138 --> 00:11:06,672
It's annoying
when you do it.
240
00:11:06,674 --> 00:11:08,774
I brought pizza.
241
00:11:08,776 --> 00:11:10,309
Oh, thank you.
242
00:11:10,311 --> 00:11:12,378
I have been working
pretty hard.
243
00:11:12,380 --> 00:11:13,646
I-I could use a break.
244
00:11:13,648 --> 00:11:15,147
What's that?
245
00:11:15,149 --> 00:11:17,183
Oh, yeah, that is an experiment
246
00:11:17,185 --> 00:11:19,752
to see how many parallelograms
I could draw
247
00:11:19,754 --> 00:11:21,721
while holding my breath.
248
00:11:22,824 --> 00:11:25,525
Is that where you blacked out?
249
00:11:25,527 --> 00:11:26,993
No, actually,
250
00:11:26,995 --> 00:11:30,162
that's where
I blacked out.
251
00:11:30,164 --> 00:11:31,564
And this?
252
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:32,965
That is a list
253
00:11:32,967 --> 00:11:36,168
of all the different types
of natural disasters.
254
00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:37,870
“Fire-quake”?
255
00:11:37,872 --> 00:11:40,373
I made that one up.
256
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:44,010
Which I shouldn't have,
because now I'm scared of it.
257
00:11:44,012 --> 00:11:46,679
Hey, I thought you were
working on actual science.
258
00:11:46,681 --> 00:11:48,147
I am.
259
00:11:48,149 --> 00:11:50,583
I'm trying to come up with
a new approach to dark matter,
260
00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:52,418
but people keep
distracting me.
261
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:55,054
First, my mother kept answering
the phone when I called,
262
00:11:55,056 --> 00:11:56,689
even though she knew I was busy.
263
00:11:56,691 --> 00:11:59,525
And now you show up
with my favorite shape of food--
264
00:11:59,527 --> 00:12:03,829
a circle made of triangles
served in a square box.
265
00:12:03,831 --> 00:12:05,631
Maybe I'll just eat this
in the laundry room.
266
00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:06,899
No, no. Wait.
267
00:12:06,901 --> 00:12:08,167
You don't have to go,
268
00:12:08,169 --> 00:12:10,536
as long as you sit quietly
and don't say anything.
269
00:12:10,538 --> 00:12:12,738
Fine.
(clears throat)
270
00:12:17,979 --> 00:12:19,478
Mmm.
271
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,981
Good.
Mmm.
272
00:12:24,752 --> 00:12:27,053
Are you mocking me?
273
00:12:32,026 --> 00:12:35,695
Hey, you want to hear
one of my geology songs?
274
00:12:35,697 --> 00:12:37,730
So it's about rocks?
275
00:12:37,732 --> 00:12:40,433
Better. It's about a boulder.
276
00:12:40,435 --> 00:12:42,335
Isn't that the same thing?
277
00:12:42,337 --> 00:12:43,769
Far from it.
278
00:12:43,771 --> 00:12:47,873
A boulder has a diameter
greater than 25.6 centimeters.
279
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:49,809
Is that fact in the song?
280
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:50,943
No.
281
00:12:51,546 --> 00:12:53,446
Yes.
282
00:12:55,016 --> 00:12:57,049
It's sung from the viewpoint
of the boulder
283
00:12:57,051 --> 00:12:58,884
that chases Indiana Jones.
284
00:12:58,886 --> 00:13:01,153
That's right up our alley.
Let's hear it.
285
00:13:01,155 --> 00:13:02,154
Okay.
286
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:04,624

287
00:13:04,626 --> 00:13:08,728

298
00:13:39,827 --> 00:13:41,460
So, I think if we want
299
00:13:41,462 --> 00:13:44,196
to predict the height
of the wave, we need to use
300
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:46,632
elasticity theory
and model the lattice
301
00:13:46,634 --> 00:13:48,634
as one continuous
flexible piece.
302
00:13:48,636 --> 00:13:50,169
This is fun.
Mm-hmm.
303
00:13:50,171 --> 00:13:52,138
Playing with Popsicle sticks,
304
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:54,507
exploring ways
to store kinetic energy.
305
00:13:54,509 --> 00:13:57,076
It's like preschool
all over again.
306
00:13:57,078 --> 00:13:59,812
Except now if I eat paste,
it's because I want to,
307
00:13:59,814 --> 00:14:02,815
not because
Craig Schultz is making me.
308
00:14:02,817 --> 00:14:05,251
Hey, can I ask you a question?
309
00:14:05,253 --> 00:14:06,786
Is it, “Where was the teacher?”
310
00:14:06,788 --> 00:14:09,855
She was in the bathroom smoking,
that's where.
311
00:14:09,857 --> 00:14:12,958
It wasn't, but I'm glad
to see you've moved on.
312
00:14:14,162 --> 00:14:16,996
I was gonna ask if being married
felt any different.
313
00:14:16,998 --> 00:14:20,566
Oh. Uh... not really.
314
00:14:20,568 --> 00:14:23,402
Sorry. That probably wasn't
the answer you were looking for.
315
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:24,870
No, actually it is.
316
00:14:24,872 --> 00:14:28,140
I mean, Sheldon and I are in
a really great place right now,
317
00:14:28,142 --> 00:14:30,876
and I just, I don't want
anything to mess that up.
318
00:14:30,878 --> 00:14:32,945
Mm-hmm.
You do remember you're here
319
00:14:32,947 --> 00:14:36,015
because he kicked you
out of your apartment?
320
00:14:36,017 --> 00:14:37,349
Yes.
321
00:14:37,351 --> 00:14:39,318
His work is important to him.
322
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,420
It's one of the
things I find
323
00:14:41,422 --> 00:14:42,822
the sexiest about him.
324
00:14:42,824 --> 00:14:45,424
Well, that and...
Aah!
325
00:14:50,898 --> 00:14:52,932
...his butt.
326
00:14:55,369 --> 00:14:56,969
And then I was
thinking about
327
00:14:56,971 --> 00:14:59,038
inventing a new
dark matter particle
328
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,940
to evade the omega
baryon constraints,
329
00:15:00,942 --> 00:15:02,575
but that just seems
like something
330
00:15:02,577 --> 00:15:04,176
anyone could
come up with.
331
00:15:04,178 --> 00:15:06,445
Mm. Agreed.
332
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:07,880
(clears throat)
333
00:15:07,882 --> 00:15:09,815
You know
what's blowing my mind?
334
00:15:09,817 --> 00:15:14,520
Somebody thought about
putting cheese in this crust.
335
00:15:14,522 --> 00:15:18,958
I just wish I could find
something that excites me.
336
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,060
You do understand
that crust doesn't normally
337
00:15:21,062 --> 00:15:22,695
come with cheese in it?
338
00:15:23,765 --> 00:15:25,598
Okay, all right, look.
339
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,167
What got you excited about
dark matter in the first place?
340
00:15:28,169 --> 00:15:31,737
Well, I left
string theory,
341
00:15:31,739 --> 00:15:33,639
which I'd been working
on for a long time,
342
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:36,208
and everyone was talking about
how cool dark matter was,
343
00:15:36,210 --> 00:15:39,378
and I thought, “Well, sure,
I'll give that a whirl”"
344
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:42,948
So it's your rebound science?
345
00:15:42,950 --> 00:15:44,450
What's that?
346
00:15:44,452 --> 00:15:47,553
Well, not the science you spend
the rest of your life with,
347
00:15:47,555 --> 00:15:51,123
but the one you use to make
yourself feel pretty again.
348
00:15:52,794 --> 00:15:54,693
Well, if I'm being honest,
349
00:15:54,695 --> 00:15:56,762
I never forgot about
string theory.
350
00:15:56,764 --> 00:15:58,597
It's remarkable.
351
00:15:58,599 --> 00:16:01,033
It's the closest we've come
to a theory of everything,
352
00:16:01,035 --> 00:16:03,569
something even Einstein
couldn't figure out.
353
00:16:03,571 --> 00:16:07,540
Well, if he couldn't figure
it out, maybe it's just wrong.
354
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:09,208
But it's so elegant.
355
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:12,812
I mean, look,
string theory posits
356
00:16:12,814 --> 00:16:15,414
that the fundamental particles
we see in three dimensions
357
00:16:15,416 --> 00:16:20,953
are actually strings embedded
in multidimensional space-time.
358
00:16:20,955 --> 00:16:24,723
Interesting.
359
00:16:24,725 --> 00:16:27,293
So that would mean...
360
00:16:27,295 --> 00:16:29,461
that...
361
00:16:30,798 --> 00:16:32,965
Can't do this by myself, buddy.
362
00:16:35,536 --> 00:16:37,703
(keyboard keys clacking rapidly)
363
00:16:42,877 --> 00:16:45,845
What is happening?
364
00:16:45,847 --> 00:16:48,347
I was trying
not to wake you.
365
00:16:48,349 --> 00:16:50,716
Did it work?
366
00:16:50,718 --> 00:16:52,585
Sorry.
367
00:16:52,587 --> 00:16:54,320
I just realized,
368
00:16:54,322 --> 00:16:58,290
now that I'm not in the band,
I can focus on my own music.
369
00:16:58,292 --> 00:17:01,260
You know? Go solo.
370
00:17:01,262 --> 00:17:03,996
You said you were
taking a break from the band
371
00:17:03,998 --> 00:17:05,798
to help with me and the baby.
372
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,401
Yes, and write
an astronaut musical.
373
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:11,937
Picture this.
The curtain opens.
374
00:17:11,939 --> 00:17:14,006
There's a lone astronaut
floating
375
00:17:14,008 --> 00:17:15,708
in the inky blackness
of space.
376
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:17,743
Maybe wires, maybe fog.
377
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:20,012
I'll let the director
figure that out.
378
00:17:20,014 --> 00:17:24,350
♪ I really don't know when ♪
379
00:17:24,352 --> 00:17:30,089
♪ I'll run out of oxy... gen. ♪
380
00:17:31,692 --> 00:17:34,393
Good news!
I'm back in the band!
381
00:17:34,395 --> 00:17:36,762
So, Bernadette doesn't mind?
382
00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:38,697
It was her idea!
383
00:17:41,402 --> 00:17:44,336
So it's sort of like
a guitar string,
384
00:17:44,338 --> 00:17:46,305
but instead of making
an actual sound,
385
00:17:46,307 --> 00:17:48,507
each vibration is
a different particle.
386
00:17:48,509 --> 00:17:52,111
Precisely. And when
you express it in 11 dimensions,
387
00:17:52,113 --> 00:17:54,013
Einstein's relativity equations
pop out.
388
00:17:54,015 --> 00:17:55,648
Does that sound
like a coincidence?
389
00:17:55,650 --> 00:17:57,449
It does not.
Yup.
390
00:17:57,451 --> 00:17:59,685
That's what I think.
391
00:17:59,687 --> 00:18:02,988
So, so, did we do it?
Did we just solve string theory?
392
00:18:02,990 --> 00:18:04,356
Oh. (laughs)
393
00:18:04,358 --> 00:18:06,058
I appreciate
your enthusiasm,
394
00:18:06,060 --> 00:18:07,927
but this is not
the sort of thing
395
00:18:07,929 --> 00:18:09,595
we can figure
out in a night.
396
00:18:09,597 --> 00:18:12,064
People have been
stuck on this for decades.
397
00:18:12,066 --> 00:18:13,399
Well, decades? Really?
398
00:18:13,401 --> 00:18:16,302
It's-it's a string.
How hard can it be?
399
00:18:17,238 --> 00:18:18,604
It's straight, it's in a loop,
400
00:18:18,606 --> 00:18:20,806
it gets knotted up
with other strings. Uh...
401
00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:22,574
Well, actually
there are no knots
402
00:18:22,576 --> 00:18:24,310
in anything greater
than four dimensions.
403
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:26,412
Ooh, unless
404
00:18:26,414 --> 00:18:31,150
we get around that by
considering them as sheets.
405
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:33,018
You know,
topologically speaking,
406
00:18:33,020 --> 00:18:36,221
that has a lot
of interesting possibilities.
407
00:18:36,223 --> 00:18:39,158
See? How long did that take me,
like a minute?
408
00:18:44,598 --> 00:18:45,898
Thought you were
getting us dinner.
409
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:47,566
Sorry.
I had to stop at Sheldon's
410
00:18:47,568 --> 00:18:49,802
and help him solve
string theory.
411
00:18:54,241 --> 00:18:56,275
What?
412
00:18:56,277 --> 00:18:59,411
Yeah, turns out
the answer's knots.
413
00:18:59,413 --> 00:19:01,313
That's cute,
but you can't have knots
414
00:19:01,315 --> 00:19:02,781
in more than four dimensions.
415
00:19:02,783 --> 00:19:06,018
Mm, you can if
you consider them sheets.
416
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:07,720
Good night.
417
00:19:17,450 --> 00:19:20,951
What up,
my Hebrews and She-brews?!
418
00:19:22,555 --> 00:19:25,056
We are Footprints
on the Moon.

many obstacles in life.
421
00:19:30,563 --> 00:19:34,598
And some of those obstacles
are gonna feel like boulders.

the greatest boulder
