What's Science Ever Done for Us: What the Simpsons Can Teach Us about Physics, Robots, Life, and the Universe Paperback - 2007
by Paul Halpern
From the rear cover
Is the universe shaped like a donut?
Homer proposed such a theory. Do three-eyed fish swim near nuclear power plants?Bart managed to catch one.Are perpetual-motion machines suitable for school projects?Lisa constructed a working model.The Simpsons, the world's most popular and longest-running animated series, is a treasure-trove of scientific ideas and a clever mixture of fact and fancy. Now there's a guide to the science behind the show. In What's Science Ever Done for Us? you'll find answers to an amazing array of scientific questions raised in 26 classic episodes, including:- Can genetics explain Homer's dimwittedness and Lisa's brains?
- Are shrink-rays and teleportation devices possible along the lines of Professor Frink's inventions?
- Could androids, like the one that replaced Bart in one episode, ever have consciousness?
- Do toilets in North America and Australia flush in opposite directions?
- If Earth were in peril, should we try to escape on a rocket, like Marge, Lisa, and Maggie did, and attempt to colonize Mars?
- Could we travel back in time, like Homer did, change the past, and find ourselves in a parallel reality?
