1
00:00:00,156 --> 00:00:01,923
Previously on
The Big Bang Theory...

2
00:00:01,992 --> 00:00:03,780
We just published
a few months ago.

3
00:00:03,781 --> 00:00:06,036
How did you have time
to design an experiment?

4
00:00:06,037 --> 00:00:09,105
This whole thing is
actually a gigantic accident.

5
00:00:09,174 --> 00:00:11,808
You weren't even thinking
about super-asymmetry?

6
00:00:11,876 --> 00:00:13,142
Thinking about it?

7
00:00:13,211 --> 00:00:16,345
We don't even understand it.

8
00:00:16,414 --> 00:00:17,947
Uh, can you believe this?

9
00:00:18,016 --> 00:00:19,393
Doctors Pemberton and
Campbell have been doing

10
00:00:19,417 --> 00:00:22,485
a press tour trying to take
credit for super-asymmetry.

11
00:00:22,554 --> 00:00:24,587
So what? I mean, no one's
gonna give them credit

12
00:00:24,656 --> 00:00:26,656
for accidentally
discovering something.

13
00:00:26,691 --> 00:00:27,702
Yeah, who remembers the guy

14
00:00:27,726 --> 00:00:28,836
who was trying to find India

15
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:30,359
and discovered America instead?

16
00:00:30,428 --> 00:00:32,261
What was his name again?

17
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:34,263
Now stop trying to steal
our Nobel Prize.

18
00:00:34,332 --> 00:00:36,199
You come up with your own idea.

19
00:00:36,267 --> 00:00:38,167
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

20
00:00:40,705 --> 00:00:42,049
Have a seat,
thanks for being here.

21
00:00:42,073 --> 00:00:44,407
I feel the same way about you.

22
00:00:44,476 --> 00:00:45,842
This is nice.

23
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:48,644
All my friends hanging out,
watching Ellen.

24
00:00:48,713 --> 00:00:52,682
It's like, what am I gonna do
with my other two wishes?

25
00:00:52,751 --> 00:00:54,684
It's not nice.
She's having on the scientists

26
00:00:54,753 --> 00:00:56,919
who are trying to steal
our Nobel Prize.

27
00:00:56,988 --> 00:00:58,721
Although I will enjoy
watching her expose

28
00:00:58,790 --> 00:01:00,056
Pemberton and Campbell

29
00:01:00,125 --> 00:01:02,692
for the coattail-riding
frauds that they are.

30
00:01:02,761 --> 00:01:05,394
That is Ellen's brand,
gotcha journalism.

31
00:01:05,463 --> 00:01:07,363
Yeah, you should've
seen her take down

32
00:01:07,432 --> 00:01:08,865
John Krasinski last week.

33
00:01:08,933 --> 00:01:12,502
Got him to admit he loved
his wife. It was brutal.

34
00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:13,848
All right, our next guests

35
00:01:13,872 --> 00:01:15,549
are a couple of physicists--
don't turn the channel.

36
00:01:15,573 --> 00:01:18,174
They've been doing
some viral videos online

37
00:01:18,243 --> 00:01:21,144
about what it's like to be in
the running for a Nobel Prize.

38
00:01:21,212 --> 00:01:23,246
Please welcome
Doctors Greg Pemberton

39
00:01:23,314 --> 00:01:24,781
and Kevin Campbell.

40
00:01:28,887 --> 00:01:31,187
Why does she even want
to have scientists on?

41
00:01:31,256 --> 00:01:33,489
Uh, silly question. Who
else will give her audience

42
00:01:33,558 --> 00:01:36,325
causal explanations of
natural phenomena?

43
00:01:36,394 --> 00:01:39,529
I love you, honey, but think.

44
00:01:39,597 --> 00:01:40,897
So you guys

45
00:01:40,965 --> 00:01:43,533
have discovered something
pretty amazing in the universe.

46
00:01:43,601 --> 00:01:46,068
Obviously, I understand, uh,
high-level physics

47
00:01:46,137 --> 00:01:49,205
because I'm a comedian, but...

48
00:01:49,274 --> 00:01:51,207
...can you explain it
to the audience?

49
00:01:51,276 --> 00:01:53,476
Well, I don't know, I'm not
sure we're even smart enough

50
00:01:53,545 --> 00:01:54,844
to understand it.

51
00:01:56,614 --> 00:01:59,415
Look, look, the audience is
laughing at them. It's starting.

52
00:01:59,484 --> 00:02:02,752
I hate to say it, Sheldon, but
I think the audience likes them.

53
00:02:02,821 --> 00:02:05,321
Well, that will all change
when Ellen asks them

54
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:08,257
how super-asymmetry explains the
cosmological excess of matter

55
00:02:08,326 --> 00:02:10,159
over anti-matter
and they panic,

56
00:02:10,228 --> 00:02:12,929
like Leonard trying
to do a pull-up.

57
00:02:12,997 --> 00:02:14,664
Hey, what'd I do?

58
00:02:14,732 --> 00:02:17,500
Not a pull-up.

59
00:02:17,569 --> 00:02:18,913
People have been
loving your videos,

60
00:02:18,937 --> 00:02:20,848
especially the-the songs
that you've been posting.

61
00:02:20,872 --> 00:02:22,205
- Oh, thanks.
- Thank you.

62
00:02:22,273 --> 00:02:24,907
Uh, this may be pushing
it, but I have to ask.

63
00:02:24,976 --> 00:02:27,510
Would you mind singing one
of those for us right now?

64
00:02:27,579 --> 00:02:29,879
- Oh, why not?
- All right.

65
00:02:29,948 --> 00:02:33,416
Come on, Ellen, they're right
there. Go for the jugular.

66
00:02:33,518 --> 00:02:36,786
? Let's get physicist,
physicist ?

67
00:02:36,855 --> 00:02:39,488
? I want to get physicist ?

68
00:02:39,557 --> 00:02:42,391
? Let's get into physicist ?

69
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:45,161
? Let me hear your boson talk ?

70
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:48,898
Come on, Ellen. ? Let me hear
your boson talk... ?

71
00:02:48,967 --> 00:02:52,435
? Our whole universe
was in a hot, dense state ?

72
00:02:52,503 --> 00:02:55,738
? Then nearly 14 billion years
ago expansion started... Wait! ?

73
00:02:55,807 --> 00:02:57,406
? The Earth began to cool ?

74
00:02:57,475 --> 00:03:00,109
? The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools ?

75
00:03:00,178 --> 00:03:02,612
? We built the Wall ?
? We built the pyramids ?

76
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,314
? Math, Science, History,
unraveling the mystery ?

77
00:03:05,383 --> 00:03:07,216
? That all started
with a big bang ?

78
00:03:07,285 --> 00:03:08,774
? Bang! ?

@elder_man

80
00:03:15,308 --> 00:03:16,641
Dr. Pemberton.

81
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:17,976
Dr. Campbell.

82
00:03:18,045 --> 00:03:20,512
Doctors Pemberton and Campbell.

83
00:03:21,615 --> 00:03:22,578
Morning, buddy.

84
00:03:22,579 --> 00:03:23,744
I am not your buddy.

85
00:03:23,813 --> 00:03:25,980
- What's wrong?
- I'll tell you what's wrong.

86
00:03:26,049 --> 00:03:28,883
You went on TV
and were charming.

87
00:03:28,951 --> 00:03:30,918
Thanks, man.
That's what my mom said.

88
00:03:30,987 --> 00:03:32,307
W-Why don't you come in

89
00:03:32,355 --> 00:03:33,994
and have some parfait?

90
00:03:33,995 --> 00:03:36,724
Yeah, we ordered it from room service;
it cost, like, 12 bucks.

91
00:03:36,793 --> 00:03:39,260
It's just yogurt in a glass.

92
00:03:39,329 --> 00:03:41,762
I don't want your yogurt.

93
00:03:41,831 --> 00:03:42,831
Then what do you want?

94
00:03:42,899 --> 00:03:44,498
I want you to hold
a press conference

95
00:03:44,567 --> 00:03:47,007
where you admit that you blindly
stumbled into super-asymmetry

96
00:03:47,036 --> 00:03:48,836
and it was really our discovery.

97
00:03:48,905 --> 00:03:51,439
Oh. No, thanks.

98
00:03:53,109 --> 00:03:55,087
You know, just because we proved
something by accident

99
00:03:55,111 --> 00:03:56,777
doesn't mean
we didn't prove it.

100
00:03:56,846 --> 00:03:58,086
Yeah, I wasn't trying

101
00:03:58,114 --> 00:03:59,980
to prove that my wife
was cheating on me

102
00:04:00,049 --> 00:04:01,327
when I came home early
one Friday,

103
00:04:01,351 --> 00:04:04,085
but I'm still sleeping
on his couch.

104
00:04:04,153 --> 00:04:05,753
I told you,
you can do better than her.

105
00:04:05,822 --> 00:04:08,155
Thanks. It just hurts.

106
00:04:08,224 --> 00:04:10,491
And when you win that
Nobel Prize, she's gonna realize

107
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,593
that she was wrong,
you are not a fraud.

108
00:04:12,662 --> 00:04:15,496
She is not wrong.

109
00:04:15,565 --> 00:04:18,833
Wow, I can't believe
you're siding with Linda.

110
00:04:18,901 --> 00:04:20,534
Shame on you.

111
00:04:24,874 --> 00:04:26,707
Look at this. They
posted another video.

112
00:04:26,776 --> 00:04:28,142
It's not even about science.

113
00:04:28,211 --> 00:04:29,910
They're on a
celebrity bus tour.

114
00:04:29,979 --> 00:04:32,046
Those are fun. I-I went on one

115
00:04:32,115 --> 00:04:34,048
and saw Tom Hanks talking
to his gardener.

116
00:04:34,117 --> 00:04:37,051
He's even nice when you plant
the wrong color azaleas.

117
00:04:38,488 --> 00:04:40,588
Those guys are good at
self-promoting, so what?

118
00:04:40,656 --> 00:04:42,890
No one ever won a Nobel
for being nice.

119
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:43,891
Yeah, but if they did,

120
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,626
do you know who would win one?

121
00:04:45,695 --> 00:04:47,361
Are you gonna say Tom Hanks?

122
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:50,765
He picked up a shovel
and helped the guy replant.

123
00:04:52,435 --> 00:04:53,634
Dr. Cooper,

124
00:04:53,703 --> 00:04:55,647
there you are. I just wanted
to tell you not to worry

125
00:04:55,671 --> 00:04:58,072
about this Pemberton
and Campbell publicity blitz.

126
00:04:58,141 --> 00:04:59,273
Are you worried?

127
00:04:59,342 --> 00:05:00,674
Not at all.

128
00:05:00,743 --> 00:05:03,177
Not even a little bit.

129
00:05:03,246 --> 00:05:06,046
Look, i-it doesn't matter

130
00:05:06,115 --> 00:05:08,082
if they have popular support,

131
00:05:08,151 --> 00:05:10,451
we're gonna get the scientific
community behind us.

132
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,353
He's right, the Nobel Prize
is about the work,

133
00:05:12,422 --> 00:05:15,156
and as your fellow scientists,
we support you and Amy.

134
00:05:15,224 --> 00:05:17,358
That's great, Scooby Gang.

135
00:05:17,427 --> 00:05:19,827
Now, the university
is gonna host

136
00:05:19,896 --> 00:05:22,229
a reception for you
and Dr. Fowler

137
00:05:22,298 --> 00:05:25,666
where we invite as many
academic luminaries as we can,

138
00:05:25,735 --> 00:05:28,202
uh, give them a chance to meet
you, hear about your work.

139
00:05:28,271 --> 00:05:30,171
Uh, that's a great idea.
Uh, yeah.

140
00:05:30,239 --> 00:05:32,217
Who needs to be likable
when you have Nobel Laureates

141
00:05:32,241 --> 00:05:33,407
campaigning for you?

142
00:05:33,476 --> 00:05:34,575
Oh, yeah-- wait a minute.

143
00:05:34,644 --> 00:05:36,310
Do you not think we're likable?

144
00:05:36,379 --> 00:05:38,312
That's what's great about you,

145
00:05:38,381 --> 00:05:41,115
you never stop asking
the tough questions.

146
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:51,559
Hey. Kids asleep?

147
00:05:51,627 --> 00:05:54,128
Nope. I've been trying
to get them down for hours.

148
00:05:54,197 --> 00:05:55,841
Apparently, Halley's afraid
of the dark now

149
00:05:55,865 --> 00:05:56,975
and I can't turn on
the night-light

150
00:05:56,999 --> 00:05:58,499
'cause it makes Michael cry.

151
00:05:58,568 --> 00:05:59,945
Why doesn't he like
the night-light?

152
00:05:59,969 --> 00:06:01,769
Jot that down, we can ask him

153
00:06:01,838 --> 00:06:04,572
as soon as he learns to speak.

154
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,509
We can also find out what's
so damn funny about birds.

155
00:06:10,947 --> 00:06:12,513
I'll go talk to her.

156
00:06:12,582 --> 00:06:16,350
I don't know why she's suddenly
so afraid of everything.

157
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:19,487
Honey, remember,
she's my child, too.

158
00:06:23,793 --> 00:06:25,270
Hey, sweetie,

159
00:06:25,294 --> 00:06:27,261
I heard you were afraid
of the dark.

160
00:06:27,330 --> 00:06:30,798
I know someone else
who was afraid of the dark once.

161
00:06:30,867 --> 00:06:33,267
Your daddy,
when he was in space.

162
00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:38,539
And just like you,
I was wearing a full diaper.

163
00:06:39,976 --> 00:06:42,076
Hey, good news.

164
00:06:42,144 --> 00:06:44,812
They're inviting several Nobel
Laureates to our reception.

165
00:06:44,881 --> 00:06:46,547
Oh, great, like who?

166
00:06:46,616 --> 00:06:48,782
Uh... Makoto Kobayashi.

167
00:06:48,851 --> 00:06:50,918
Da-- ooh.

168
00:06:50,987 --> 00:06:53,087
What?

169
00:06:53,155 --> 00:06:54,800
Well, I may have been
less than kind to him

170
00:06:54,824 --> 00:06:57,658
about his Nobel Prize win.

171
00:06:57,727 --> 00:06:58,759
Why?

172
00:06:58,828 --> 00:07:00,761
I was jealous, angry
and new to Twitter.

173
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:02,296
It was a dangerous combination.

174
00:07:02,365 --> 00:07:05,432
Okay, so scratch Kobayashi.

175
00:07:05,501 --> 00:07:07,501
Uh, George Smoot's on here.

176
00:07:09,906 --> 00:07:12,339
We have a history.

177
00:07:12,408 --> 00:07:14,842
Saul Perlmutter?

178
00:07:14,911 --> 00:07:16,277
Oh!

179
00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:19,580
What about Kip Thorne?

180
00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:21,315
That was a misunderstanding.

181
00:07:21,384 --> 00:07:23,017
I didn't know
he was right behind me.

182
00:07:24,754 --> 00:07:28,022
So you've alienated everyone
we need to help us?

183
00:07:28,090 --> 00:07:30,224
Well, Amy, if I had known
that someday we'd need them,

184
00:07:30,293 --> 00:07:33,427
I would never
have insulted them.

185
00:07:33,496 --> 00:07:35,329
- Well, that doesn't make it better.
- Oh.

186
00:07:35,398 --> 00:07:38,232
Well, it's also not true.

187
00:07:47,977 --> 00:07:50,411
- Hey.
- Hey.

188
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:52,546
Oh, that's cute.

189
00:07:52,615 --> 00:07:55,215
Did Halley draw that
at preschool?

190
00:07:56,819 --> 00:07:58,085
I drew it.

191
00:07:58,154 --> 00:07:59,320
Well, good night.

192
00:08:01,457 --> 00:08:03,657
It's supposed to be
an astronaut.

193
00:08:03,726 --> 00:08:06,994
And I'm supposed to be
living on my own at this age,

194
00:08:07,063 --> 00:08:10,564
but here we are.

195
00:08:10,633 --> 00:08:13,634
Halley was scared and Howard
told her the sweetest story

196
00:08:13,703 --> 00:08:16,337
about when he was in space
and I thought I could turn it

197
00:08:16,405 --> 00:08:18,172
into a book for her and Michael.

198
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,541
Oh, well, I mean,
I am an artist.

199
00:08:20,610 --> 00:08:23,177
Uh, i-if you want,
I could do the drawings.

200
00:08:23,245 --> 00:08:24,679
Really? That'd be amazing.

201
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,847
Yeah, it'd be fun. And a,

202
00:08:26,916 --> 00:08:29,183
a nice change of pace
from what I usually draw.

203
00:08:29,251 --> 00:08:30,417
What do you usually draw?

204
00:08:30,486 --> 00:08:31,486
Well, good night.

205
00:08:37,593 --> 00:08:39,093
- Someone texting you?
- Uh, no,

206
00:08:39,161 --> 00:08:41,095
I just met my exercise
goal for the day.

207
00:08:45,101 --> 00:08:47,134
By doing the dishes?

208
00:08:47,203 --> 00:08:49,536
Hey, you have your goals,
I have mine.

209
00:08:52,108 --> 00:08:53,874
- Hello.
- What are you two doing?

210
00:08:53,909 --> 00:08:56,543
Mm, just finishing a workout.

211
00:08:56,612 --> 00:08:57,711
What's up?

212
00:08:57,780 --> 00:08:59,279
Do you have any cookie dough?

213
00:08:59,348 --> 00:09:02,082
Uh, I think so. Let me see.

214
00:09:02,151 --> 00:09:06,987
Yeah, we've got, uh, chocolate
chip and oatmeal raisin.

215
00:09:07,056 --> 00:09:08,422
Oatmeal raisin?

216
00:09:08,491 --> 00:09:10,758
I know at least two things wrong
with that cookie.

217
00:09:12,395 --> 00:09:13,727
It's for the Nobel Laureates.

218
00:09:13,796 --> 00:09:17,131
We need them on our side,
but unfortunately, Sheldon...

219
00:09:17,199 --> 00:09:20,234
No. "Unfortunately, Sheldon..."
that's all you got to say.

220
00:09:20,302 --> 00:09:22,403
Well, that's-- so you need
these people's support

221
00:09:22,471 --> 00:09:24,071
and you're sending
them baked goods?

222
00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:25,572
Yeah, they're pretty smart.

223
00:09:25,641 --> 00:09:27,185
Don't you think they're gonna
realize it's just a bribe?

224
00:09:27,209 --> 00:09:29,476
No, you'd think,
but sometimes brilliant people

225
00:09:29,545 --> 00:09:32,479
can be painfully oblivious
to social cues.

226
00:09:35,951 --> 00:09:39,019
Thank you for pointing
that out, Sheldon.

227
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:40,688
Anytime.

228
00:09:46,762 --> 00:09:48,896
"Sheldon Cooper"? Hmm.

229
00:09:53,803 --> 00:09:54,968
"Sheldon Cooper"?

230
00:09:55,037 --> 00:09:57,905
Pass.

231
00:09:57,973 --> 00:10:01,642
"Sheldon Cooper." Aw.

232
00:10:01,711 --> 00:10:04,511
Ugh, oatmeal raisin?

233
00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:07,381
Ugh.

234
00:10:09,218 --> 00:10:12,386
Oh, it's from Saul Perlmutter.

235
00:10:12,455 --> 00:10:13,787
He sent me a picture.

236
00:10:13,856 --> 00:10:15,155
Ooh, let me see.

237
00:10:15,224 --> 00:10:19,393
Oh, he arranged the cookies
to spell out "thank you."

238
00:10:20,529 --> 00:10:23,363
Sheldon, that word
isn't "thank."

239
00:10:29,504 --> 00:10:32,605
Hi. I got you a surprise.

240
00:10:32,674 --> 00:10:35,508
What-- Oh.
What's the occasion?

241
00:10:35,576 --> 00:10:37,388
I heard you tell Halley
that story the other night,

242
00:10:37,412 --> 00:10:38,611
and I thought it was

243
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,947
so sweet that Stuart and I
turned it into a book.

244
00:10:42,016 --> 00:10:46,385
The Frightened
Little Astronaut?

245
00:10:47,422 --> 00:10:50,823
That looks
just like you.

246
00:10:50,892 --> 00:10:54,727
Look how tiny
and scared you look.

247
00:10:54,796 --> 00:10:56,862
And the best part is,
Stuart showed it

248
00:10:56,931 --> 00:10:58,264
to a publisher
friend of his,

249
00:10:58,332 --> 00:10:59,565
and they're interested in it.

250
00:10:59,634 --> 00:11:02,735
- That is so cool.
-Absolutely not.

251
00:11:04,238 --> 00:11:05,304
Why?

252
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:07,540
Because I don't want
the whole world to know

253
00:11:07,608 --> 00:11:09,809
I was the frightened
little astronaut!

254
00:11:13,281 --> 00:11:16,615
Maybe you should've called it
The Bitchy Little Astronaut.

255
00:11:21,022 --> 00:11:23,489
You want to tell me
what's going on?

256
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:25,257
Is my distress
that obvious?

257
00:11:25,326 --> 00:11:27,293
Sheldon, please don't
take this the wrong way,

258
00:11:27,361 --> 00:11:28,961
but when you're quiet
even for a second,

259
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:30,996
something's wrong.

260
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:33,132
Well, it's true.

261
00:11:33,201 --> 00:11:35,801
The fact is, I feel
really bad for Amy.

262
00:11:35,870 --> 00:11:37,069
Well, we all do.

263
00:11:37,138 --> 00:11:39,805
But just for fun,
why do you?

264
00:11:39,874 --> 00:11:42,475
Well, she didn't
do anything wrong,

265
00:11:42,543 --> 00:11:44,260
but she's paying
for my mistakes.

266
00:11:44,284 --> 00:11:45,679
Wow.

267
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,113
What?

268
00:11:47,181 --> 00:11:49,915
No-- I'm just
honestly impressed.

269
00:11:49,984 --> 00:11:52,985
When did you start caring
about other people's feelings?

270
00:11:53,054 --> 00:11:55,554
Well, I laughed when Amy
got a shock from

271
00:11:55,623 --> 00:11:58,324
the broken Christmas tree
lights, so it was after that.

272
00:12:00,695 --> 00:12:03,796
So none of them are
coming to the reception?

273
00:12:03,865 --> 00:12:05,331
I don't think so.

274
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,574
Okay, what did he say
that was so insulting?

275
00:12:07,575 --> 00:12:10,836
Well,
he may have suggested there was

276
00:12:10,905 --> 00:12:14,840
an inelegance to the quadrupole
normalization of Smoot's data.

277
00:12:14,909 --> 00:12:16,842
Damn.

278
00:12:20,014 --> 00:12:22,481
See, sometimes I wish I could
invent a time machine,

279
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:24,517
so I could go back
and prevent myself

280
00:12:24,585 --> 00:12:25,985
from acting so rashly.

281
00:12:26,053 --> 00:12:29,655
Or moving forward, you could
think before you speak.

282
00:12:29,724 --> 00:12:31,824
I suppose so.

283
00:12:31,893 --> 00:12:35,628
But the time machine thing
is probably more likely.

284
00:12:35,696 --> 00:12:38,731
My problem is that
I don't always know

285
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,699
when I've gone too far.

286
00:12:40,768 --> 00:12:42,968
Well, uh, if you like,
I could try to help you out.

287
00:12:43,037 --> 00:12:46,138
You know, and maybe let you know
if you're crossing a line.

288
00:12:46,207 --> 00:12:48,347
Oh, you mean, like,
with a code word?

289
00:12:48,371 --> 00:12:49,209
Sure.

290
00:12:49,210 --> 00:12:51,710
How's "shut up"?

291
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:55,147
That's perfect. People
say it to me all the time,

292
00:12:55,216 --> 00:12:56,315
no one will suspect.

293
00:13:00,087 --> 00:13:02,688
- Hey, got a minute?
- Sure. What's up?

294
00:13:02,757 --> 00:13:04,824
Uh, Bernadette said

295
00:13:04,892 --> 00:13:06,525
you weren't crazy
about the book.

296
00:13:06,594 --> 00:13:07,827
No.
It's great.

297
00:13:07,895 --> 00:13:09,528
I just don't want anyone
to ever see it

298
00:13:09,597 --> 00:13:11,197
or read it or know it exists.

299
00:13:11,265 --> 00:13:13,866
But this could be
really good for me,

300
00:13:13,935 --> 00:13:16,335
you know? Finally get
my artwork published.

301
00:13:16,404 --> 00:13:19,271
And-and come on,
it's a, it's a cute story.

302
00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:20,340
Oh, easy for
you to say.

303
00:13:20,408 --> 00:13:22,575
No one's gonna think
you're a coward.

304
00:13:22,643 --> 00:13:24,710
Are you kidding?
The other day

305
00:13:24,779 --> 00:13:27,613
in the comic book store,
a balloon popped and I threw up.

306
00:13:30,918 --> 00:13:33,352
Can't you just
take my name off it?

307
00:13:33,421 --> 00:13:36,555
No, uh, the only reason
the publisher's interested

308
00:13:36,624 --> 00:13:38,791
is 'cause a real astronaut
wrote it.

309
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:42,027
Well, look, what if
we made a few changes?

310
00:13:42,096 --> 00:13:43,896
Uh, sure, yes.

311
00:13:43,965 --> 00:13:46,265
- What-what do you have in mind?
- Well, nothing major.

312
00:13:46,334 --> 00:13:47,744
But see here on the
cover, where it says

313
00:13:47,768 --> 00:13:49,735
"frightened little,"
what if, I don't know,

314
00:13:49,804 --> 00:13:52,771
it didn't say that?

315
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,275
So, it would just be
The Astronaut?

316
00:13:56,344 --> 00:13:58,711
Yeah, you're right.
That doesn't quite pop.

317
00:13:58,813 --> 00:14:02,181
What about...
The Brave Astronaut?

318
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:04,683
See, that's got
some zip to it!

319
00:14:05,786 --> 00:14:07,453
Okay.

320
00:14:07,521 --> 00:14:09,989
And here on this page,
where I'm crying.

321
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:12,691
What if, instead,
I'm... punching a meteor

322
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,128
into the sun with
my bare fists?

323
00:14:16,197 --> 00:14:18,097
So you have superpowers?

324
00:14:18,165 --> 00:14:20,966
I like the way
you're thinking.

325
00:14:23,738 --> 00:14:25,971
Professor Thorne?

326
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,106
Dr. Hofstadter.

327
00:14:27,174 --> 00:14:28,774
Uh, you know
my wife, Penny.

328
00:14:28,843 --> 00:14:30,075
- Sure. Hi.
- Hi.

329
00:14:30,953 --> 00:14:32,953
Uh, we wanted to talk to you
about Dr. Cooper.

330
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,179
Now, before you say no...

331
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:35,281
No.

332
00:14:37,351 --> 00:14:38,918
Well, then, after you say no.

333
00:14:38,986 --> 00:14:40,352
No.

334
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:43,188
Okay, look, Sheldon's
a pain in the ass.

335
00:14:43,257 --> 00:14:44,924
But Dr. Fowler's
really nice.

336
00:14:44,992 --> 00:14:48,127
So if you average
them out-- math...

337
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:50,829
...you got someone
who's okay.

338
00:14:50,898 --> 00:14:51,898
But more

339
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:54,667
than the person,
the Nobel is about the work.

340
00:14:54,735 --> 00:14:56,146
You should understand that
more than anyone.

341
00:14:56,170 --> 00:14:58,570
Yes, because of your work
on gravitational waves.

342
00:14:58,639 --> 00:14:59,805
You know my work?

343
00:14:59,874 --> 00:15:02,141
I do. But I'm-I'm really
hogging this conversation.

344
00:15:02,209 --> 00:15:03,976
Leonard?

345
00:15:04,045 --> 00:15:05,511
Just give them a chance.

346
00:15:05,579 --> 00:15:08,147
Uh, science has a history
of difficult people.

347
00:15:08,215 --> 00:15:09,648
Look at, uh,
Newton, who was

348
00:15:09,717 --> 00:15:12,284
a jerk to Leibniz, and Leibniz,
who was a jerk to everyone.

349
00:15:12,353 --> 00:15:14,353
Yeah, you know, and I
don't need to tell you

350
00:15:14,422 --> 00:15:16,355
that gravitational waves
are disturbances

351
00:15:16,424 --> 00:15:18,190
in the curvature
of space-time.

352
00:15:18,259 --> 00:15:21,327
Or that the-- Hey, you worked
on the movie Interstellar?

353
00:15:27,368 --> 00:15:28,968
So what do you think?

354
00:15:29,036 --> 00:15:30,869
I think if you were in space

355
00:15:30,938 --> 00:15:34,073
without a shirt on, you'd die.

356
00:15:34,141 --> 00:15:35,874
Oh.

357
00:15:35,943 --> 00:15:37,409
No, I am wearing
a shirt.

358
00:15:37,478 --> 00:15:41,246
It's just skintight,
so you can see my pecs.

359
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,415
When did you get pecs?

360
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:47,586
Yesterday, when I made
Stuart add them.

361
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:49,421
Howie, what I liked
about the other story

362
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:50,756
was that it was real.

363
00:15:50,825 --> 00:15:53,359
I mean, nothing in this
actually happened to you.

364
00:15:53,427 --> 00:15:55,928
So, it's a children's book.

365
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:57,663
I mean, cats
don't wear hats.

366
00:15:57,732 --> 00:15:59,531
And if someone gives you
green eggs, it ends

367
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,101
with you on the toilet
trying to make a deal with God.

368
00:16:04,238 --> 00:16:06,271
But the real story was so sweet.

369
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:08,374
The little astronaut
was afraid,

370
00:16:08,442 --> 00:16:10,876
but he still went to space,
and that's what made him brave.

371
00:16:10,945 --> 00:16:15,014
But in space,
the other astronauts...

372
00:16:15,082 --> 00:16:17,449
made fun of him,
and that's a thing

373
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:19,351
he doesn't want to relive.

374
00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:21,086
I get that.

375
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:25,090
I guess it would
just take a really

376
00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,226
brave man to put an embarrassing
story like that

377
00:16:27,294 --> 00:16:29,695
out into the world,
just so it might help

378
00:16:29,764 --> 00:16:32,097
some frightened children
not feel so alone.

379
00:16:32,166 --> 00:16:35,968
Wow. That is
quite the guilt trip.

380
00:16:38,272 --> 00:16:40,839
Are you sure you're not Jewish?

381
00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:47,212
I'm just a wife that is
so proud of her husband,

382
00:16:47,281 --> 00:16:48,759
and doesn't think
that he has anything

383
00:16:48,783 --> 00:16:50,816
to be embarrassed about.
- Oh.

384
00:16:50,885 --> 00:16:53,552
You're sounding
less and less Jewish.

385
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:58,223
Hey, we just heard that
you're the ones

386
00:16:58,292 --> 00:17:00,092
who convinced
the Nobel Laureates to come.

387
00:17:00,161 --> 00:17:01,093
- Thank you.
- You are welcome.

388
00:17:01,162 --> 00:17:02,094
You guys deserve this.

389
00:17:02,163 --> 00:17:03,203
Yeah, now get out of here,

390
00:17:03,264 --> 00:17:04,384
go talk to some
smart people.

391
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,567
- Wait a minute.
- Yeah, sorry. Sometimes I forget

392
00:17:08,636 --> 00:17:10,936
you're smart because
you're so sexy.

393
00:17:11,005 --> 00:17:14,239
- I can see that.
- Yeah.

394
00:17:14,308 --> 00:17:15,808
Dr. Cooper.
Dr. Fowler.

395
00:17:15,876 --> 00:17:18,310
I was just telling Professor
Arnold how you came up with

396
00:17:18,379 --> 00:17:20,145
super-asymmetry
at your wedding.

397
00:17:20,214 --> 00:17:22,314
It's a wonderful story.

398
00:17:22,349 --> 00:17:23,615
Ha, it really is.

399
00:17:23,684 --> 00:17:25,684
I wouldn't say it was the
highlight of the wedding,

400
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:27,319
because I've been
told not to

401
00:17:27,388 --> 00:17:29,855
for reasons I don't
fully understand.

402
00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:32,205
Uh, but what he does understand
is how the universe works,

403
00:17:32,259 --> 00:17:33,525
and that's
what's important.

404
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:36,128
Not what comes out
of his mouth.

405
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:40,433
Uh-oh.

406
00:17:40,501 --> 00:17:42,401
I haven't been to a lot of
parties like this,

407
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:46,405
but what does a physics
rumble look like?

408
00:17:46,474 --> 00:17:48,540
- Kind of like angry chickens.
- Hmm.

409
00:17:48,609 --> 00:17:52,444
Or-or-or-or like, uh,
when-when puppets fight.

410
00:17:52,513 --> 00:17:55,481
Dr. Cooper, Dr. Fowler,
good to see you.

411
00:17:55,549 --> 00:17:56,648
What are you doing here?

412
00:17:56,717 --> 00:17:58,083
Professor Smoot
invited us.

413
00:17:58,152 --> 00:17:59,718
- We're Facebook friends.
- Smooty!

414
00:18:02,356 --> 00:18:05,157
Well, this is our
reception, so go away.

415
00:18:05,226 --> 00:18:06,158
Actually, Amy,

416
00:18:06,227 --> 00:18:07,960
I think we should
let them stay.

417
00:18:08,028 --> 00:18:09,561
Please, enjoy yourselves.

418
00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:11,296
Try some pigs
in blankets.

419
00:18:11,365 --> 00:18:13,332
And yes, that
is the plural.

420
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,000
- Great.
- Thanks.

421
00:18:16,504 --> 00:18:17,703
What are you doing?

422
00:18:17,771 --> 00:18:19,238
If they stay,
everyone will see

423
00:18:19,306 --> 00:18:20,672
that their grasp
on super-asymmetry

424
00:18:20,741 --> 00:18:21,840
is tenuous at best.

425
00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:24,176
Oh. That's clever.

426
00:18:24,245 --> 00:18:26,678
Yeah, I don't just know
the plurals of things, Amy.

427
00:18:28,082 --> 00:18:29,448
Is this gonna be
a problem?

428
00:18:29,517 --> 00:18:31,650
Mm? No, no, no.
We have a plan.

429
00:18:31,719 --> 00:18:33,152
Uh, Dr. Campbell
and Pemberton,

430
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:35,387
settle a bet for
Dr. Fowler and me?

431
00:18:35,456 --> 00:18:37,656
We were just discussing,
under what conditions

432
00:18:37,725 --> 00:18:39,791
the radiative corrections
to super-asymmetry

433
00:18:39,860 --> 00:18:41,994
could cause time
variation of alpha E.M.?

434
00:18:42,062 --> 00:18:45,864
I say active galactic nuclei
at cosmological distances

435
00:18:45,933 --> 00:18:47,332
show a part per
million deviation.

436
00:18:47,401 --> 00:18:48,834
Dr. Cooper says

437
00:18:48,903 --> 00:18:51,937
this has been disproven recently
with quasar observations.

438
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:53,105
What do you think?

439
00:18:58,312 --> 00:18:59,778
I agree with you.

440
00:19:02,316 --> 00:19:03,582
Good answer.

441
00:19:04,952 --> 00:19:06,263
Hey, uh, if we haven't
said it before,

442
00:19:06,287 --> 00:19:09,454
we just want to say...
thank you.

443
00:19:09,523 --> 00:19:11,957
Yeah. We couldn't have proven
super-asymmetry without you.

444
00:19:12,026 --> 00:19:13,725
Wait-wait. You all
heard them say it.

445
00:19:13,794 --> 00:19:14,960
They didn't do anything.

446
00:19:16,197 --> 00:19:18,764
- Sheldon. Shut up.
- Yeah-- Well, that's rude.

447
00:19:18,832 --> 00:19:20,265
No. Shut up.

448
00:19:20,334 --> 00:19:23,268
Oh, the code
word, thank you.

449
00:19:23,337 --> 00:19:24,681
You know, it's strange.
A few months ago,

450
00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:26,483
nobody paid any attention to us,
and now all of a sudden,

451
00:19:26,507 --> 00:19:27,973
we're getting all
these accolades.

452
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:29,741
Yeah, have-have any
of you ever felt like

453
00:19:29,810 --> 00:19:31,143
maybe you didn't
deserve it?

454
00:19:31,212 --> 00:19:32,844
Leonard, there's
something I need to say.

455
00:19:32,913 --> 00:19:35,447
- Shut up.
- Okay.

456
00:19:35,516 --> 00:19:38,116
It's crazy. We conclusively
proved super-asymmetry,

457
00:19:38,185 --> 00:19:41,119
and yet somehow we,
we still feel like imposters.

458
00:19:41,188 --> 00:19:42,721
There should be
a term for that.

459
00:19:42,790 --> 00:19:45,424
Oh, for crying out loud,
there is a term for that!

460
00:19:45,492 --> 00:19:47,559
It's called
"imposter syndrome"

461
00:19:47,628 --> 00:19:48,927
and you don't have it!

462
00:19:48,996 --> 00:19:50,774
Because you can't have it
if you are imposters,

463
00:19:50,798 --> 00:19:51,897
and you are!

464
00:19:51,966 --> 00:19:53,765
We're the ones

465
00:19:53,834 --> 00:19:54,844
who discovered super-asymmetry!

466
00:19:54,868 --> 00:19:55,979
So if anyone's
gonna feel like

467
00:19:56,003 --> 00:19:57,169
they have
imposter syndrome,

468
00:19:57,238 --> 00:20:00,973
it's us, because we're not
imposters! They are!

469
00:20:01,041 --> 00:20:03,775
You're imposters
and you're frauds!

470
00:20:09,850 --> 00:20:11,783
- Is that what I would've sounded like?
- Yeah.

471
00:20:11,852 --> 00:20:13,385
Yikes!

472
00:20:17,735 --> 00:20:20,502
"Once upon a time,
there was a little astronaut

473
00:20:20,571 --> 00:20:23,572
who was sitting in a rocket
waiting to go to space."

474
00:20:23,607 --> 00:20:24,951
Three... two... one...

475
00:20:24,975 --> 00:20:26,975
And while all
the other astronauts

476
00:20:27,044 --> 00:20:29,678
laughed and joked,
he stayed quiet,

477
00:20:29,747 --> 00:20:31,313
because he had a secret.

478
00:20:31,382 --> 00:20:34,817
He was scared.
He had another secret, too.

479
00:20:34,885 --> 00:20:38,520
He was only pretending to be
scared to trick the alien king.

480
00:20:38,589 --> 00:20:40,456
Ha-ha!

481
00:20:41,592 --> 00:20:42,592
Howie.

482
00:20:43,661 --> 00:20:44,850
Fine.

483
00:20:44,851 --> 00:20:46,918
There was no alien.

484
00:20:49,605 --> 00:20:52,906
There was a bossy wife, though.
We'll get to her later.
