This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski. Got a minute? On tonight's new

episode of the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory, a mock copy of Scientific American magazine becomes a big

plot point, which makes today a good time to hear from UCLA physicist David Salzberg.

He's the show's science advisor. I recorded a talk he gave

at the City University of New York's Graduate Center all the way back in 2010. Here's a clip.

We have about 15 million viewers each episode, and it's not the same 15 million viewers each episode.

So if I could go out and give lectures on public lectures on science with 100 people in them

every week for 100,000 weeks to get 10 million people.

So, you know, this is brief, but it's a huge audience.

And people do watch television with their laptops around, and hopefully they will Google something,

and that may be a chance to get the idea of their dark matter out there, especially if they're

working out week after week, and people do care about the characters.

There's a pretty good chance people are Googling what's going on.

For more from David Salzberg, check out the latest episode of the Science Talk podcast,

and go to our website to read a new Q&A with the Big Bang Theory showrunner, Stephen Milaro.

Thanks for the minute. For Scientific Americans, 60 Second Science, I'm Steve Murski.
