• [first lines] 

  Brian Greene : My new book, 'The Hidden Reality', takes on a grand question: Is *our* universe the only universe? You see, there's a growing belief among scientists like me that ours may only be one among many universes populating a gigantic cosmos. In 'The Hidden Reality' I explore this possibility without presuming any knowledge of mathematics or physics on the part of the reader.

  Sheldon : [to Amy]  Hysterical.

  Amy : [to Sheldon]  I'm glad you talked me into this. We work so hard sometimes it's nice to goof off and do something silly.

  Sheldon : Agreed. Yo, wait 'til you hear how he dumbs down Werner Heisenberg for the crowd. You may actually believe you're in a comedy club.

  Brian Greene : You can think about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle much like the special order menu that you find in certain Chinese restaurants where you have dishes in column A and other dishes in column B, and if you order the first dish in column A you can't order the corresponding dish in column B; that's sort of like the Uncertainty Principle.

  Sheldon : Ba-dum-bump.

• Sheldon : Dr. Greene, question?

  Brian Greene : Yes?

  Sheldon : You've dedicated your life's work to educating the general populace about complex scientific ideas.

  Brian Greene : Yes, in part.

  Sheldon : Have you ever considered trying to do something useful?
