This show is one of the few I actually laugh at on TV. The dialog is great and there are so many jokes which are written for a very sophisticated audience, one which would get a joke about a physicist. It is even funnier when it is told by the ditzy blonde on the show. And then later, when she explains about "shields" as something from Star Trek, and then looks surprised and says "Where did that come from?", is even funnier.

Here is the text from the "vanity card" Chuck Lorre puts at the end of the show. It can only be read if you record it on a DVR and pause at the right time, since it is only displayed a second.
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #247
The quantum physics joke Penny tells the guys in tonight's episode was told to us by Nobel award-winning physicist, Dr. George Smoot. Penny tells it in about twenty seconds. Dr. Smoot's version probably took about three minutes, although it felt a lot longer. No one had the heart to tell him to get to the punch line, proving my hypothesis that in addition to time slowing down as you accelerate, it also grinds to a halt when you're being courteous to a genius.
Thanks for the joke, Doc!
