I guess I better spoiler it:

The bit about the can opener skewing the results was kind of dead on. However, I think it ignored the fact that the only way they were getting electricity in the first place was by a big ass diesel generator that would have been emitting a lot more electrical noise. They never would have been able to measure this under the conditions stated and the collection site should have been 5 miles away.

Sorry, nice try Mr. Consulting physicist, but no cigar.

I thought it was a hoot and a half.

Don't get me wrong. I loved the show.

I reviewed a bunch of NASA earth science funding proposals last year. They had a lot of stuff up in the Arctic and some of it was similar. However, almost all of it was for ground support of satellite operations.

Unfortunately, I am under non-disclosure. I am dying to tell you about one in particular that would have made the episode work.

I didn't think the show was one of the good ones.

They killed one of the biggest recurring jokes by having Penny and Leonard sleep together.

I did like when Penny tried singing Sheldon to sleep, I like when they can pull joke and gags from past episodes.

Well they could have shut the generator off for the experiments and ran off battery power...
