How can a member of the general public find out if someone is a real theoretical physicist?
The end of this amusing clip from The Big Bang Theory gives the answer.

Introduction
About Me
- Ross H. McKenzie
- ST LUCIA, QLD, Australia
- I have fun at work trying to use quantum many-body theory to understand electronic properties of complex materials. I am married to the lovely Robin and have two adult children and a dog, Priya (in the photo). I also write an even more personal blog Soli Deo Gloria [thoughts on theology, science, and culture]
