[English]

Dr Sturgis this is Sheldon you're wrong

and I can prove it

[Music]

so

it is so

all right little man Bring It On

[Music]

go ahead Sheldon I'm all ears well when

I'm done you're going to be all tears

okay fellas let's keep it civil you

claim that the only way to calculate the

magnetic field in qcd units is using

Maxwell's equations but you're

completely discrediting energy density

aren't you still off buy a factor of

3.54 which would seem insignificant when

examined closely you realize that it's

the square root of 4 times pi your point

being rationalized and non-rationalized

units differ by four times pi anyone

with the basic knowledge of electric and

magnetic fields would know that I'm lost

are we still being civil it's all right

Connie Sheldon's trying to justify his

shortcut not a shortcut a more elegant

and efficient method to achieve the

correct answer

the effort young man

treat me like a child treat me like a

colleague

fine

this is the stupidest thing I've ever

seen

come come in come in

you like chalkboards huh indeed I do in

fact I even have one in the bathroom you

never know when inspirational strike I

may be the luckiest boy in East Texas I

know it's Thursday so dinner will be

spaghetti and hot dogs and for fun I

have a few episodes of Cosmos recorded

forgot maybe I am the luckiest wife

watching Cosmos while we're eating

dinner am I weak because this feels like

a dream oh not for me in my dreams I'm

usually running for my life from a giant

praying mantis

that's the insect where the female leads

the male after mating it is

I think I understand why you're not

married

do you believe there's intelligent life

in the universe I have no doubt

why is that the Drake equation claims

that there are at least 20 detectable

civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy

alone

interesting

my sister likes to say that I'm an alien

I've often been called that

once by the praying mantis in my dream

maybe we are aliens perhaps

or maybe people like you and me were the

original inhabitants of Earth and

everyone else is from outer space

well I like that better

in the cars

after dinner wanna toast marshmallows on

a Bunsen burner good gosh yes

[Music]

is this new

here

Dr Sturgis

oh Sheldon so nice to see you I think

you tripped and hit your head I'm a bit

woozy I better test for concussion

what's your name John Birches Sturgis

Burgess Sturgis great name thank you

who's the president of the United States

George Herbert Walker Bush I like

Burgess Sturgis better because it Rhymes

sure last question what is the only

fermion that may not have an

anti-particle the neutrino of course I'm

gonna rule out concussion to be fair it

was an easy question true wait here I'm

going to go get some ice to your head

and I'll fix you a hot beverage

oh there's a there's an Earl Gray tea

bag in the sink I think it still has

some oomph in it here's a pineapple it's

a symbol of hospitality dating back to

the 1700s thank you how tropical

Dr Sturgis hello hi oh did you know the

pineapple is a symbol of hospitality as

a matter of fact I did you're welcome

hey John what do you say you and I go

grab a beer but we haven't cut open the

pineapple yet you boys go ahead we'll

eat the pineapple another time but we

haven't had a chance to talk about

science ooh can Sheldon come can I no oh

hello I'm having a scientific argument

with someone and I need your help I do

love a good science fight as a devolved

to name-calling it yes I called him a

Pongo pygmias oh a born in orangutan

that is a creature who would be very bad

at science well done I know so how can I

help I posted a theory on the collapse

of wave function we've been arguing back

and forth and he's saying that my

probabilities come out negative all

right

have you considered that negative

probabilities can still have meaning

another idea I can argue that negative

problem

apps I'm gonna destroy him with this and

when you do feel free to call him a

scarabeas fiennia a dung beetle oh I so

admired your mind back at you little man

[Music]
