Penny Meets Alex

So how was work today? Alright, I guess. Sat to hime like a cherry stem out of Sheldon. Caught Raj right in the eye. You're kidding! No, Raj had to go to the nurse. How? Anything else? The nurse was a woman, so he couldn't talk to her. She had to bring him a Grover puppet so he could point at what hurt. Oh, is that it? Isn't that enough? You can have a weaponized fruit and a puppet. What more do you want? Oh, good, Leonard, you're here. Science news. This will interest you. And, uh, Penny, feel free to paint your nails. What do you got? I believe Alex may have unearthed the grade school science project that could be my ticket to the Nobel Prize. Behold. Magnets. What do they stick to? If the answer is metal, it's not exactly groundbreaking. The original title was a re-derivation of Maxwell's equations regarding electromagnetism. I dumbed it down because some of the more religious people in town were starting to say I was a witch. Sheldon thinks the approach in this paper might change the way we calculate ferromagnetic hysteresis. Oh, it's about time I hated the old way. Hi, I'm Penny. Alex, do you work with Dr. Hofstadter? In a way. We've kind of been involved in a five-year experiment. Oh, well, you're lucky. He seems very talented. I'm sure a lot of people want to work with him. Oh, well, a lot of people can't. Where are we going? My limbic system wants to take your pants off. She seems nice. Notice people on your own time. We're working.
