Ooh! Someone responded to a theory I posted 00:01

on the physics bulletin board. 00:03

He called my work flawed. 00:06

That's rude. 00:08

Let him know he can't push you around. 00:09

That's what I did at baseball practice. 00:10

I'd rather not resort to name-calling. 00:12

It usually gets me stuffed somewhere uncomfortable. 00:15

That's in person, 00:18

where people know you're pathetic and weak. 00:19

That's true. 00:21

This is completely anonymous. 00:22

I can say whatever I want 00:24

without fear of physical retaliation. 00:26

Thanks. 00:28

ADULT SHELDON: And on that day, 00:30

my sister created 00:32

the first Internet flame war. 00:33

Ooh, that is as cruel as it is grammatical. 00:35

And send. 00:39

It's just so easy. All you do is type in the Usenet address: 00:41

"sci... dot... theory... 00:46

"dot... physics... 00:51

"dot... research... 00:54

dot... quantum." 00:58

Press enter, and it comes right up. 01:01

(modem beeping, screeching) 01:03

Careful. In WarGames, 01:14

Matthew Broderick almost blew up the world. 01:16

The only thing I'm gonna be blowing up 01:18

is this fellow's flimsy argument. 01:20

(modem continues beeping) 01:22

That was one of my classic jokes; feel free to laugh. 01:23

See? Like magic. 01:31

(gasps) Well, I never. 01:36

(phone rings) Hello? 01:39

I'm having a scientific argument with someone 01:41

and I need your help. 01:43

I do love a good science fight. 01:44

Has it devolved to name-calling yet? 01:47

Yes. I called him a Pongo pygmaeus. 01:49

(laughs): Oh! 01:52

A Bornean orangutan. 01:53

That is a creature who would be very bad at science. Well done. 01:55

I know. 02:00

So how can I help? 02:01

I posted a theory 02:02

on the collapse of wave function. 02:03

We've been arguing back and forth 02:05

and he's saying that my probabilities come out negative. 02:06

Hmm. I see. 02:09

Have you considered that negative probabilities 02:11

can still have meaning? 02:13

Ooh, I hadn't. That suggests another idea. 02:15

I can argue that negative probabilities 02:18

only show up in intermediate steps. 02:20

I'm gonna destroy him with this. 02:22

And when you do, feel free to call him a Scarabaeus viettei, 02:24

a dung beetle. 02:29

Oh, I so admire your mind. 02:30

Back at you, little man. 02:33

ADULT SHELDON: Thanks to Dr. Sturgis, 02:35

I had all the intellectual ammunition I needed 02:37

to bring my opponent to his knees. 02:39

I accused him of conflating 02:41

two different interpretations of quantum theory, 02:43

woefully misrepresenting Paul Dirac, 02:45

and when I called him a dung beetle in Latin, 02:47

I was so riled up, 02:50

I almost started producing testosterone. 02:52
