Update on The Big Bang Theory

Series 3 episode 9 has the discovery of magnetic monopoles in spin ice mentioned in the first few minutes. It's good that they go to the trouble of finding real physics to talk about because I suspect they could just put a few sciency words in place of the real science and over 99% of the audience wouldn't notice.
