in case you are skeptical about clicking the link. This is the unofficial blog of the CBS show, "Big Bang Theory."

It expands on the concepts in the show and explains them to a layman. The first post is about the LHC because the characters were invited to go see it. It also talks about graphene because the tall skinny guy was trying to figure out why electrons have no mass moving across them.

Kind of neat. Might be better to have read these posts before the episode airs to have a better understanding of the concepts and humor during the show. I didn't now what graphene was when i watched that episode, but after reading the blog post, the episode makes a lot more sense.


The blog posts are written by David Saltzberg, PhD in physics and astronomy.

I think this is his homepage: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~saltzbrg/bio.html

Earlier post on the "Big Bang Theory" show that is the topic of this blog. The blog was linked in the posted Wired article.
