00:00If you would have told me when I was a kid that someday I would be doing science next to Professor Proton, I would not have believed you.
00:07If someone had told me that people would still call me Professor Proton when I was 83 years old, I never would have quit smoking.
00:18I'm sorry, Dr. Jeffreys, I'm just excited. This nanovacuum tube idea of yours is really interesting.
00:24Hello, Leonard.
00:25Oh, hello, Arthur. What an odd coincidence that you're both here.
00:29Why is it odd?
00:30Because as it just so happens, I'm also spending the day with a beloved children's television science personality.
00:36Isn't that right, new friend and colleague, Bill Nye, the science guy?
00:45Sorry, I replaced you with a newer model.
00:50Wow, Arthur Jeffreys, it's an honor to meet you. My show never would have happened without yours.
00:55That's what I told my lawyers.
01:00Mr. Nye, hello. I'm sorry he got you involved in this nonsense.
01:04He said I'd be speaking to a class.
01:06No, I said you were teaching someone a lesson. Now let's go.
01:12What are you guys working on?
01:13Oh, uh, we're making nanovacuum tubes.
01:16Oh, that's interesting.
01:18Haven't you stolen enough from me? Back off, bow tie!
01:22Go for Dr. K.
01:25Is this Rajesh Koothrappali?
01:27Yes, who is this?
01:28Neil deGrasse Tyson.
01:33Um, wow. How fun is this Twitter thing, huh?
01:39You think you're funny?
01:41I'm not Seinfeld funny, but I did an open mic night one.
01:44You're not funny.
01:46You think you're funny?
01:47I'm not Seinfeld funny, but I did an open mic night one.
01:50You're not funny.
01:52Yeah, that's what they said at the Chuckle Hut.
01:55How about this? I've got a book signing at Froman's in Pasadena next week.
01:59Why don't you come by and say some of those things to my face?
02:03Oh, no, but thanks for the invite.
02:08Smart move. And the next time you pick up your phone, remember, I'm the guy who kicked Pluto out of the solar system.
02:15And it deserved it, so thank you, bye-bye.
02:19Whoa, that was fun.
02:23Let's see who else needs a deGrasse kickin'.
02:30Bill Nye Science Guy.
02:34Hey, Bill, Neil Tyson, we've gotta talk.
02:39Raj, have you seen Howard?
02:42I think he's eating lunch.
02:44Sheldon, I want you to meet Neil deGrasse Tyson from the Hayden Planetarium in New York.
02:49I'm quite familiar with Dr. Tyson.
02:51He's responsible for the demotion of Pluto from planetary status.
02:55I liked Pluto.
02:58Ergo, I do not like you.
03:01But I actually didn't demote Pluto. That was a vote of the International Astronomical Union.
03:05If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.
03:10Think about that, Dr. Tyson.
03:14Is that the guy you were telling me about?
03:16Oh, yeah.
03:18So I'm thinking, you won the Nobel Prize, what, three years ago?
03:21So you must deal with a whole lot of what has Smoot done lately.
03:26My thought is, we continue my research as a team, you know, Cooper, Smoot, alphabetical.
03:32And when we win the Nobel Prize, you'll be back on top.
03:36With all due respect, Dr. Cooper, are you on crack?
03:43Fine, Smoot Cooper. Wow, what a diva.
03:49Professor Hawking, it's an honor and a privilege to meet you, sir.
03:57I know.
04:00I want to thank you for taking time to see me.
04:04My pleasure. I enjoyed reading your paper very much. You clearly have a brilliant mind.
04:12I know.
04:16Your thesis at the Higgs bosonus of black hole, accelerating fabrics through time, is fascinating.
04:24Thank you. It just came to me one morning in the shower.
04:29That's nice. Too bad it's wrong.
04:36What do you mean, wrong?
04:40You made an arithmetic mistake on page two.
04:45It was quite a boner.
04:48It was quite a boner.
04:53No, no, that can't be right. I don't make arithmetic mistakes.
05:00Are you saying I do?
05:03No, no, of course not. I was thinking, oh gosh golly, I made a boo-boo.
05:09And I gave it to Stephen Hawking.
05:17Great. Another feinter.
05:21Here you go.
05:23Thanks.
05:25You've got to be kidding me.
05:27Sorry?
05:29You're Elon Musk.
05:31I am?
05:37What are you doing here?
05:40I'm washing dishes.
05:42Well, I was on the turkey line, but I got demoted for being too generous with the gravy.
05:49Oh man, what an honor to meet you. I'm such a fan of Tesla and SpaceX, all your companies.
06:00Howard Wolowitz, Caltech.
06:02Nice to meet you, Howard. It feels great to come down here and help the less fortunate, huh?
06:05Oh, yeah. Nothing better than helping people.
06:13Which is something I realized when I was viewing Earth from the deck of the International Space Station,
06:22where I spent two months as a payload specialist, a job I was qualified for because I'm an MIT-trained engineer.
06:31And I thought I ladled the gravy on deck.
06:35Sorry. It's just, you're you. I really want you to adopt me.
06:42Well, you're here on Thanksgiving, so you're probably a good person.
06:45Oh, I made my wife come down, too.
06:49You think you might ever get back out to space?
06:52Is that a job offer? Because I really want to go to Mars.
06:56Assuming I can bring my wife. She hardly takes up any room. She's basically a carry-on.
07:00Well, we're not quite there yet, but we're always looking for engineers. So let me give you my email and we can stay in touch.
07:09Oh, look. Someone hardly touched their pumpkin pie. Want to share it with me?
07:16A partially eaten piece of pumpkin pie from a homeless shelter with Elon Musk? You bet I do!
07:23Elon Musk, you bet I do!
07:33Hey, Mike.
07:35Yeah?
07:36I changed my mind. I don't want to do this.
07:40Good one.
07:42Yeah, I'm a funny guy. I also have a hysterical bit planned for later where I pretend to cry through the whole launch.
07:54Hey, Fruit Loops. What's up?
07:58Hey, Mike. Listen, NASA asked me to throw out the first pitch at an Angels game. You got any advice?
08:07Yeah. Don't do it.
08:10What else you up to?
08:12Why shouldn't I do it?
08:14There's no upside. If you do well, no one cares.
08:18Why shouldn't I do it?
08:20There's no upside. If you do well, no one cares. And if you screw up, you're an idiot on YouTube forever.
08:29But it's for a good cause. What about all the kids that'll be there?
08:33That's what I'm telling you. Kids are the worst.
08:37My own daughter tweeted, I have a giant nose.
08:43Well, maybe I'll do a good job.
08:44I don't know. In space, you couldn't even toss me a pen and that was in zero gravity.
08:51Okay. Thanks for the pep talk.
08:53Anytime, Fruit Loops. Give your wife a hug for me. She's so much cuter than you. I don't know how you ever got her.
09:02He's so nice.
09:07Professor Thorne.
09:09Dr. Hofstadter. You know my wife, Penny. Sure.
09:12Hi.
09:14We wanted to talk to you about Dr. Cooper. Now, before you say no...
09:18No.
09:21Well, then after you say no...
09:23No.
09:25Okay, look, Sheldon's a pain in the ass, but Dr. Fowler's really nice, so if you average them out, math, you got someone who's okay.
09:35And more than the person, the Nobel's about the work. You should understand that more than anyone.
09:40Yes, because of your work on gravitational waves.
09:42You know my work?
09:44Yeah, but I'm really hogging this conversation, Leonard.
09:47Just give them a chance. Science has a history of difficult people. Look at Newton, who was a jerk to Leibniz, and Leibniz, who was a jerk to everyone.
09:56Yeah, you know, and I don't need to tell you that gravitational waves are disturbances in the curvature of space-time.
10:02Or that... Hey! You worked on the movie Interstellar?
10:12It's Stephen Hawking.
10:14Answer it. I want to hear.
10:19Professor Hawking, how nice of you to call.
10:22Hello. I really enjoyed our game, Dr. Cooper.
10:26Oh, me too.
10:28Or should I say Dr. Loser?
10:35Ha ha ha.
10:36Yes, congratulations. You won fair and square. Very impressive, sir.
10:45Do you like brain teasers?
10:47Oh, I love brain teasers.
10:49What does Sheldon Cooper and the black hole have in common?
10:55They both suck.
11:04Neener, neener.
11:06Hey, whatcha watching?
11:08I don't know. Raj sent me some video of Buzz Aldrin.
11:13Here you go. It's a Milky Way. The Milky Way's a galaxy in space. I've been in space.
11:26Here's a Mars bar. I'm an astronaut.
11:30And this one's a moon pie. I walked on the moon. What have you done?
11:47Okay, I get it.
11:50Okay, who's ready for some science?
11:58Me too.
12:00Okay, I am Dr. Leonard Hofstetter. I am here with my friends Dr. Cooper and real-life astronaut Howard Wolowitz.
12:08And we are going to show you girls how cool a job in science can be.
12:13How cool, you ask? Well, how about negative 273 degrees?
12:18Because that's the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.
12:24Did I just learn something new and have fun doing it? What?
12:31All right!
12:35So now let's bring out theoretical physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper!
12:46Hello, female children.
12:49Allow me to inspire you with a story about a great female scientist.
12:56Polish-born, French-educated, Madame Curie.
13:01Co-discoverer of radioactivity, she was a hero of science.
13:06Until her hair fell out, her vomit and stool became filled with blood, and she was poisoned to death by her own discovery.
13:17With a little hard work, I see no reason why that can't happen to any of you.
13:26Are we done? Can we go?
13:29The thing to remember is you can go to outer space, too.
13:34Look at me. I went to this very school. Those desks you're sitting in? I was once super-glued to one of them.
13:45Did you go to the moon?
13:47No, but I did go to the International Space Station.
13:52Did you fly the rocket?
13:54No, but I was in the rocket. I didn't actually...
13:59So you just flew around? That's kind of like my uncle. He's a flight attendant.
14:07No, I'm an American hero. Your uncle brings people nuts!
14:13Boy, we are learning a lot here. Thank you, astronaut Howard.
14:18I am what's called an experimental physicist, which is super fun because I get to test theories and work with lasers.
14:27How did you decide to become a scientist?
14:30Excellent question. I suppose I've always been into science.
14:35My mother and father are scientists, so I was kind of led in that direction.
14:39Pushed might be a better way to describe it.
14:42To be honest with you guys, when I was your age, I wanted to be a rap star.
14:48Like Snoop Dogg, but with a healthy respect for the police.
14:54I'm not sure you laugh.
14:56It's like my mother did.
14:59After I confided, I was derided and chided. My mom's and I collided. She said my dreams were misguided.
15:11That's just a little freestyle.
15:13I never wanted to play the cello.
15:18How do you meet girls playing the cello?
15:21Hey, you want to come over to my house and listen to me play an instrument that sounds like a suicidal bumblebee?
15:28Quick, pull the fire alarm. Let's get out of here.
15:32Hello again.
15:34I don't know if women in general have been actively discouraged from pursuing the sciences.
15:41But it's clear you young women here today have been.
15:50While I was listening to my colleagues waste your time, it occurred to me that it might be much more meaningful to hear about women in science from actual women in science.
16:02And I happen to know two brilliant examples who have agreed to speak to you on the phone right now.
16:08Dr. Rostenkowski, Dr. Fowler, are you there?
16:12We're here.
16:14Thank you for taking time out of your very busy schedule to enlighten these young women.
16:19It's our pleasure.
16:26I'm Dr. Fowler and I'm a neuroscientist.
16:29And I'm Dr. Rostenkowski-Walowitz and I'm a microbiologist.
16:33The world of science needs more women, but from a young age, we girls are encouraged to care more about the way we look than about the power of our minds.
16:45That's true. Every one of you has the capacity to be anything you want to be.
16:51Unless you want to be Cinderella.
16:54Come at me, see what happens.
16:57It's for the Nobel laureates. We need them on our side, but unfortunately, Sheldon-
17:03No, unfortunately, Sheldon, that's all you gotta say.
17:06Hold on, so you need these people's support and you're sending them baked goods?
17:11Yeah, they're pretty smart. Don't you think they're gonna realize it's just a bribe?
17:14I could think, but sometimes brilliant people can be painfully oblivious to social cues.
17:22Thank you for pointing that out, Sheldon.
17:27Anytime.
17:34Sheldon Cooper?
17:41Sheldon Cooper? Pass.
17:46Sheldon Cooper. Aww.
17:50Ugh, oatmeal raisin.
17:57Oh, it's from Saul Perlmutter. He sent me a picture.
18:01Ooh, let me see.
18:03He arranged the cookies to spell out thank you.
18:08Sheldon, that word isn't thank.
18:12My new book, The Hidden Reality, takes on a grand question. Is our universe the only universe?
18:19You see, there's a growing belief among scientists like me that ours may only be one among many universes,
18:27populating a gigantic cosmos. In The Hidden Reality, I explore this possibility
18:32without presuming any knowledge of mathematics or physics on the part of the reader.
18:36Hysterical.
18:39I'm glad you talked me into this. We work so hard, sometimes it's nice to goof off and do something silly.
18:45Agreed. Wait till you hear how he dumbs down Werner Heisenberg for the crowd.
18:50You may actually believe you're in a comedy club.
18:53You can think about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle much like the special order menu
18:59that you find in certain Chinese restaurants where you have dishes in column A and other dishes in column B.
19:04And if you order the first dish in column A, you can't order the corresponding dish in column B.
19:08That's sort of like the uncertainty principle.
19:11Buh-dump-bump.
19:15Say, I heard an interesting tidbit about Howard and Bernadette.
19:19Really, Amy? Gossip? I'm disappointed in you.
19:23No, no. Evolutionary biologist Robin Dunbar has identified gossip as an aid to social bonding in large groups.
19:30Forgive my language, but poppycock.
19:33What if he's right? And by not participating in gossip, society breaks down into small,
19:38feral bands of tattooed motorcycle riders fighting to the death over the last few cans of tuna fish.
19:42Fine. In the parlance of the urban music scene, what's the 411?
19:48Bernadette is thinking about breaking up with Howard.
19:52I believe our nation's tuna cans are safe.
19:55Excuse me. Dr. Green, question?
19:58Yes.
20:00You've dedicated your life's work to educating the general populace about complex scientific ideas.
20:06Yes, in part.
20:08Have you ever considered trying to do something useful?
20:11Perhaps reading to the elderly?
20:14Excuse me?
20:16But not your books. Something they might enjoy.
20:21I kid, of course. Big fan.
20:30Hey, that is one hot weather girl.
20:33How come if I say that I get in trouble?
20:36You wanna say it? You can say it.
20:39You wanna say it? You can say it.
20:48Nice try.
20:50I'm gonna have to find some other way to not have sex with me tonight.
20:54And it's not weather girl, it's weather woman.
20:57And with us today to talk about the upcoming meteor shower and the best places to view it,
21:02Caltech astrophysicist, Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali.
21:06Thank you for being here.
21:08Thank you for having me. I guess Neil deGrasse Tyson was unavailable.
21:12Yeah.
21:17What do you mean, yeah?
21:19Not important. So, what can we expect to see from this meteor shower?
21:23Well, I think you can count on a lot of flaming gas,
21:27which is what you would have gotten from your first choice, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
21:31Pull up, Raj. Pull up.
21:34Sounds like there's no love lost between you and Dr. Tyson.
21:38Oh, no, I love Neil.
21:40I mean, not as much as Neil loves Neil, but who does, right?
21:45I wanna look away, but I can't.
21:48Oh, you know, I'm told we are out of time,
21:52having learned nothing about meteor showers and too much about Dr. Koothrappali.
22:04Would you like to hear some songs I've rewritten to get children interested in the hard sciences?
22:09Sure. Really?
22:11I like music. I like science. I like making fun of Sheldon. Hit it.
22:16There was a scientist who had a theory and James Clark Maxwell was his name-o.
22:21J-A-M-E-S-C-L-E-R-K space M-A-X-W-E-L-L.
22:27And James Clark Maxwell was his name-o.
22:29There was a scientist who had a theory and James Clark Maxwell was his name-o.
22:34A-M-E-S-C-L-E-R-K.
22:36Okay, okay, we get it.
22:38Perhaps you'd prefer this one.
22:40The itsy bitsy spider is not an insect at all,
22:45because it has eight legs and two body parts.
22:50That's pretty cool, Sheldon.
22:52Thank you. Do either of you know Beyonce? I'd love her to get behind you.
22:57Hey. Hello.
23:00You guys know the new Discovery class missions that NASA's been working on?
23:04Well, they're looking to include a message from Earth in case one of them is encountered by alien life.
23:09When I encountered alien life, I discovered that the key thing was not to sit in its spot.
23:16You can't breathe our air without an inhaler. He's allergic to earth nuts, but I'm the alien.
23:22Anyway, I'm among a handful of scientists that have been asked to submit a design proposal for the message and its delivery system.
23:30Congratulations!
23:32And I was wondering if any of you guys would like to help me do it?
23:36Are you kidding? Yes! What did you have in mind?
23:39I'll tell you exactly what you should do. Avoid the presumption of the Terran sensory input paradigm.
23:43Absolutely. You need a device capable of delivering information across a wide range of perceptual modalities.
23:48Any intelligent organism would at the very least need the ability to locate the position of objects in space.
23:54So, the ideal interstellar lingua franca would be haptic.
23:57Oh, how about a 3D tactile communicator rigged for cross-sensory transposition?
24:01Exactly what I expected. Two people forcing their ideas on me and only one gentleman who could be bothered to ask me what my thoughts were.
24:08You two are out. Congratulations, Leonard. You're on the team.
24:11My mommy raised a gentleman.
24:14Amy? Amy? Amy?
24:31Will you marry me?
24:36One moment, please.
24:39Really? You're going to answer that right now?
24:41It's Leonard. I don't want to be rude.
24:44Hello?
24:46Oh, hey, where have you been? We've been calling you for hours.
24:49Oh, I'm sorry. My phone was on airplane mode.
24:52Why?
24:54Because I was on an airplane.
24:57Hey, put him on speaker. Hey, where are you?
25:00I came to Princeton to see Amy. It's a funny story, actually.
25:04I was having lunch with Dr. Nowitzki and she kissed me.
25:08What?
25:09I'm sorry.
25:11And in that moment I realized that Amy was the only woman I ever wanted to kiss for the rest of my life.
25:18So I came to New Jersey to ask her to marry me.
25:22Oh, that's so sweet.
25:24Sheldon.
25:26Although there was one man whose blessing I needed first.
25:30I've thought about it and I really want to spend the rest of my life with Amy.
25:36Do I have your blessing?
25:37Do I have your blessing?
25:39Well, Sheldon.
25:43I think you should make her finger like Saturn and put a ring on it.
25:50You asked Stephen Hawking and not her father?
25:54Stephen Hawking's a genius. If he said no, I wasn't going to waste my time on her father.
26:00But you did ask my father.
26:02I did. He said yes. Although not in a robot voice, so it wasn't nearly as cool.
26:07Okay, oh my God. I can't believe you guys are engaged.
26:10We're not engaged yet. She's taking forever to answer.
26:13Because you're on the phone.
26:17We'll call you back.
26:24She said yes.
26:26Congratulations!
26:30Sheldon, it's me.
26:34What?
26:35Look, I know you're mad, but I have to write a statement that says the physics community is close to a breakthrough.
26:40And since you actually believe that, I could really use your help.
26:43Sorry, I can't.
26:45Come on, don't be like that.
26:47I can't because I think you were right.
26:49What?
26:51Look, not all science pans out.
26:54We've been hoping supersymmetry was true for decades.
26:57And finally we built the Large Hadron Collider, which is supposed to prove it by finding these new particles.
27:02But it hasn't.
27:04Maybe supersymmetry, our last big idea, is simply wrong.
27:08Well, that sounds awful.
27:11Now I get why everyone hates me.
27:15On the bright side, after working together for 15 years, you finally get to hear me say you were right.
27:23Yeah, you did.
27:26How's it feel?
27:28Given I might be unemployed, bittersweet.
27:32Okay, so you guys are upset because the collider thing disproved your theories?
27:37It's worse than that. It hasn't found anything in years.
27:40So we don't know if we're right, we don't know if we're wrong, we don't know where to go next.
27:44All I know is it looks like a tongue-kissed avatar.
27:49Come on, you guys are physicists.
27:52Okay, you're always going to be physicists.
27:54And sure, sometimes the physics is hard, but isn't that what makes it boring?
27:59Hey, we're here. What's going on?
28:02Okay, as far as I can see, science is dead because Leonard killed it.
28:06And I don't know who the Romulans are, but those guys know how to party.
28:11So what do you want us to do?
28:13I don't know. You're scientists. Cheer them up.
28:15Cheer them up? Do you even know what a scientist is?
28:19But we don't need to be cheered up. It just turns out that physics is exactly like Lost.
28:24Started out great and turns out just a big old waste of time.
28:28Boo-hoo. You know what you sound like? Babies. Two whiny babies.
28:34There's nothing worse than being stuck with two whiny babies.
28:37There's nothing worse than being stuck with two whiny babies.
28:55Oh my God, I'm going to have two babies.
28:58No, no, no. Babies are great. You're lucky to have two babies.
29:02I mean, look at me. I'm all alone. I'm never going to have babies.
29:04Because you can't make a baby watching Netflix with your dog.
29:14Thanks for coming.
29:18Hey, good news. They're inviting several Nobel laureates to our reception.
29:22How great. Like who?
29:24Uh, Makoto Kobayashi.
29:26Oh.
29:29What?
29:31I may have been less than kind to him about his Nobel Prize win.
29:34Why?
29:36I was jealous, angry, and new to Twitter. It was a dangerous combination.
29:40Okay, so scratch Kobayashi.
29:43Uh, George Smoot's on here.
29:45Oh.
29:47We have a history.
29:50Saul Perlmutter?
29:52Oh.
29:55What about Kip Thorne?
29:57That was a misunderstanding. I didn't know he was right behind me.
30:01So, you've alienated everyone we need to help us?
30:05Well, Amy, if I'd known that someday we need them, I would never have insulted them.
30:10Well, that doesn't make it better.
30:12Oh. Well, it's also not true.
30:16Sheldon, we've been together so long, it's hard to remember a time you weren't in my life.
30:22Believe me, I tried.
30:24You make me laugh. You make me a better scientist. You make me crazy.
30:30You're more than just my roommate. You're my brother.
30:36Happy birthday, buddy.
30:38Cheers.
30:40Thank you. That was wonderful.
30:42Oh, wait, wait, wait. Stuart didn't get to speak.
30:45Oh, okay.
30:47Sheldon and I have spent most of my life feeling invisible, but having you and everyone...
30:53Hey, everybody, listen up.
30:56He nailed it.
30:58I've got someone who couldn't be here, but really wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
31:05Hello, Sheldon.
31:07Professor Hawking.
31:09Happy birthday to you.
31:11Thank you so much. I can't believe it.
31:14Happy birthday to you.
31:16Oh, you're singing. I'm sorry.
31:18Happy birthday, dear Sheldon.
31:21Professor Hawking, if you just give us one second, we'll light the candles and we can all sing together.
31:26I wasn't rushing it, but all right.
31:30Okay, while they get the cake, Sheldon, I just want to say I hope you didn't think you were going to get through tonight without a hug.
31:37You know, I used to hate these hugs.
31:42Now they're just extremely irritating.
31:48Physics is all we're cut out for.
31:51If we weren't physicists, what would we be?
31:53I don't know. Popular?
31:57That's fine. I don't need to be a theoretical physicist.
32:01There's lots of things I could use this brain for.
32:04I could be an accountant for the mob.
32:08I could guess people's weight at the fair.
32:13Okay, this is getting silly.
32:15Is it?
32:17180.
32:18180.
32:23Okay, that is enough. Your lives are not wasted. Your careers are not at a dead end.
32:29You just hit a rough patch. Instead of feeling sorry for yourselves, you need to get up and get inspired.
32:34How?
32:36I don't know. You know, when I'm feeling down, I go for a run, which is exactly why I'm not 180 pounds, genius.
32:42I know where we need to go.
32:43Are we running there? Because watching drunk children run would be the highlight of my life.
32:49We're going to see Richard Feynman.
32:51Penny, Richard Feynman is an iconic physicist.
32:54I know who he is. Leonard dressed as him for Halloween last year.
33:01I had no idea Richard Feynman was dead.
33:04Most people don't know. He's actually buried right here in Althedena.
33:09I'm sure they keep a lid on that to avoid traffic jams.
33:14Oh, here he is.
33:17Oh, wow. He's buried with his wife.
33:20We get it. A lady loved you. Quit bragging.
33:25Feynman was so cool.
33:27When I was a kid, I'd put on some headphones and crank up one of his lectures and just jam out to knowledge.
33:34This guy knew how to live. Taught himself musical instruments, studied Portuguese, just to give a speech in Brazil.
33:43The only part of me that's been to Brazil is my bikini line.
33:51He did so much. And here we are, stuck and letting him down.
33:56Feynman used to say he didn't do physics for the glory or the awards,
34:01but just for the fun of it.
34:05He's right.
34:07Physics is only dead when we stop being excited about it.
34:11Even beyond the grave, he's imparting wisdom.
34:15Um, I'm the one who remembered it.
34:19Give me the bottle. It might be a little corny, but I say we pour one out for all the science homies who came before us.
34:27I love that.
34:29Here comes some more.
34:34Ah, we got to see him run.
34:38Look, I wasn't going to say anything, but since you seem to be okay with the article being cancelled, I have a little confession.
34:44I'm the reason it was pulled.
34:46How?
34:48I sent the editors of the magazine a printout of the article.
34:52I'm the reason it was pulled.
34:54How?
34:55I sent the editors of the magazine a pretty scathing email.
34:59What did you say?
35:01I simply pointed out that they would never consider doing an article ranking male scientists on their sexuality, let alone showing them in various stages of undress.
35:10Because no one wants to see Neil deGrasse Tyson in a wet t-shirt bent over the hood of a Porsche.
35:14Isn't this nice? The pleasures of fellowship and camaraderie without having to tolerate your germy breath on my skin.
35:26I say we just take him to Tatooine and sell him to some Jawas.
35:30That's true, dude. Write your own jokes.
35:35Oh, great.
35:38Hi, I'm Penny. I'll be your waitress.
35:41Why are you introducing yourself?
35:42I'd rather people not know I have any prior connection to you whatsoever.
35:46Can you tell me the specials this evening?
35:49Sheldon, I'm not waiting on you.
35:51Obviously. I don't even have water yet.
35:54Because you're not here.
35:56That's discrimination against the otherwise located.
35:59I'm going to have to go over your head.
36:04Manager? Manager?
36:07Oh, Lord. Look who it is.
36:12Is that Steve Wozniak?
36:14I think it is.
36:16The great and powerful Woz.
36:19Penny, Steve Wozniak was one of the co-founders of Apple Computer. He and Steve Jobs started it.
36:24Yeah, I know who he is. I watch Dancing with the Stars.
36:27I must speak to him.
36:29Of course you must.
36:32You know, there's an olive garden down the street. You guys should try it sometime.
36:38Excuse me, Mr. Wozniak?
36:40Oh, hey. Nice virtual presence device.
36:43Thank you. I just want to say I'm a big fan.
36:47You're my 15th favorite technological visionary.
36:51Only 15th?
36:53It's still six spots above Steve Jobs.
36:57I care neither for turtlenecks nor showmanship.
37:00Yeah, I never got that turtleneck thing.
37:03One of my proudest possessions is a vintage 1977 Apple II.
37:08Despite the file system limitations of Apple DOS 3.3, it was a pretty nifty little achievement.
37:14Thanks. We were shooting for nifty.
37:17You know, if you had it here, I'd autograph it for you.
37:21Don't move for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how the buses are running.
37:28Nerds.
37:33I'm coming, Woz. I'm coming.
37:35I'm coming.
37:41Aww.
