A
doughnut universe? Swe-e-e-e-t
Simpsonian science.
Evolution. Nuclear power. The shape of the universe. Weighty
subjects fit for a science class, no doubt, but they also
figure in everyday conversation for America's favorite community
of yellow-skinned, bug-eyed people. There's lots of science
on The Simpsons. So Paul Halpern, a physics professor
at Philadelphia's University of the Sciences, decided to make
a book out of it. In What's Science Ever Done for Us?
What the Simpsons Can Teach Us About Physics, Robots, Life
and the Universe, Halpern looks at whether the TV show
is science fiction. Mon, Aug. 13, 2007

"I haven't always been a die-hard Simpsons fan but I've grown
to appreciate the show more and more as I've realized all
of the different topics that have been discussed - philosophical,
scientific, etc," Halpern said. "The deeper wit has not always
been recognized, because so many people were mocking or parodying
the slapstick aspects of the show."
