The Futurama of Physics
MasaMuneCyrus writes "I was surprised to notice an article about Futurama in my latest American Physical Society news. Titled, 'Profiles in Versatility: The Futurama of Physics with David X. Cohen,' Cohen talks a little bit about his life and his love for physics, and he goes on to describe how he regularly injects graduate-level physics jokes into the script of Futurama. He also talks a little bit about the upcoming season of Futurama: 'In the 10th episode of the upcoming season, tentatively entitled "The Prisoner of Benda," a theorem based on group theory was specifically written (and proven!) by staffer/PhD mathematician Ken Keeler to explain a plot twist.'"

Leela: "Depth at 45 hundred feet... 48 hundred, 50 hundred. 5,000 feet."
Professor: "Dear lord! That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure!"
Fry: "How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?"
wait for it...
Professor: "Well, it's a spaceship... so I'd say anywhere between zero and one."
I've invented a device that sneaks nerdy physics jokes into primetime programming!
...I've also invented a machine that makes you read this aloud in your head, in my voice!
Libertarians somehow believe that private businesses should be stronger than governments but weaker than individuals.
