Has "The Big Bang Theory" made physics sexy?

Is it now cool to be a nerd/geek? 😉😊👏

Nerds and geeks were always cool, people just started realizing that's the case.

I like to lay naked in bed while my dude talks about physics
@FreeSpirit1 even more fun if you lay there naked while he gets physical

@FreeSpirit1 physiques?

She certainly did 😀

@Celt43 I actually think she's prettier than Penny ❤️

@Fluffybull I agree with you

No, it's probably not cool to be a "nerd" or "geek" whatever [i]they[/i] are.

However, though my weak mathematical ability blocked my early dream of becoming a Scientist or Engineer, I can appreciate it might be "cool" for someone who is good at Maths to get off his or her backside and apply a huge amount of hard work and dedication for some years, to qualify and develop a career in either of those fields.

I would not say the "Big Bang Theory" alone has made the subject "sexy" (isn't that biology?) but huge ideas like that do inspire many to follow the science.

As much as the milky way resembles a lactating boob.
I doubt it. But there is nothing wrong with people finding an interest in that stuff in general.

@MsAnnThropy Agree! Never does any harm to increase knowledge 👏😊

{@fluffybull] 😆 i suppose it is the way you take the definition big bang and in which context

If you believe in it you better be ready to back it up.

I think intelligence has always been sexy.

I always thought it was, but perhaps that show has helped the popular image. 😄

@bijouxbroussard The theory has been around for a long time now but from your comment, was this thread inspired by a recent TV programme or something?

(The name "Big Bang" incidentally, is rather ironical. It was a throw-away, rather disparaging phrase by a British astronomer (Fred Hoyle? I forget) who opposed it when it was first proposed. He supported the existing "Steady State" theory, by which stars etc. come and go but the Universe generally has always existed.)
@ArishMell If you’re unfamiliar with the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” , this post would make little sense.

@bijouxbroussard Oh, I see. Thank you.

No, I did not know about the sit-com at all, but took the question at face value. After all, it is in the Physics Group of "Science and Technology".
