Dark Matter Page #4

Are you a student here?

Me?

- Yes.

No. Not anymore.

Are you?

Yes. Cosmology.

Oh, yeah?

- Yes.

Wow. Hey, maybe you could

give me a free makeover.

I think so.

Well, it goes something like this.

A theorist and an experimentalist

were on death row.

He's going to tell a joke.

- Where they belong.

Right.

- Most of them.

And the guard asked them

for their last wish.

So the theorist says,

I'd like to give a seminar,

to present my latest theoretical

breakthrough. - Before they die.

And then the guard asks

the experimentalist, who says,

Id like to be executed

before the seminar.

He got it.

All right, everybody,

we have to all thank Joanna

for how well she's taken care of

all of our Chinese students.

And Ive heard about the high cultural

experiences of the Pioneer Village,

the Cineplex... High culture.

Oh, everyone had fun, didn't you?

- Oh, a great time.

I think it's important for everyone

to get out of that lab we gave you.

Ah ha. Yeah, yes.

Which we are very grateful

to you and Hal for.

And I think we are incubating some

truly remarkable scientists here.

Liu Xing?

- Yes?

We let you out sometimes, don't we?

- Yes.

And Professor Reiser is very inspire me.

He's a diplomat, too.

To me. Inspiring to me.

- Inspiring to me.

And Dark Matter is also

still very inspiring to you.

What do you know about Dark Matter?

I thought science didn't interest you.

Well, no. I mean, I am

more interested in the cultural side,

but Liu Xing explained it to me

very eloquently the other day.

And it made sense.

Maybe I should hire him

to do my fundraising.

Speaking of Dark Matter, look at that.

But it is very interesting, Dark Matter.

- Yes.

Motions of stars and the galaxies,

all determined by Dark Matter around it.

Like a dark...

Like a dark hollow.

Hollow?

- Hollow.

Halo, like an angel.

Hon, maybe we should get

some after-dinner drinks for everybody.

Liu Xing?

They're going to go smoke. You smoke?

- I don't.

She's probably gonna kill me for this.

Ill survive.

Professor Reiser,

are you afraid of your wife?

Uh, no.

Just about the cigar smell.

Drinking a problem?

- No.

Who's that?

Oh. That's my advisor, Dr. Gazda.

Your advisor?

- Yeah, I was about your age then.

After I graduated I published a critique

of his Black Hole Accretion Flows Theory.

I read this paper. Very good.

You did?

- Yeah.

Well, he didn't seem to think so.

But that's how it goes.

in China, this would never happen.

- What?

Student never challenge the teacher.

Have too much respect.

It's a big problem,

Because no challenge, no progress.

Well, you feel free

to challenge me all you want.

Just remember, Im always right.
