- The Big Bang Theory S02E02. Leslie and Sheldon debate physics during her date with Leonard.
- Leslie: Loop Quantum Gravity clearly offers more testable predictions than String Theory.
- Sheldon: I'm listening... Amuse me.
- Leslie: OK. Well for one thing, we expect quanti-space-time to manifest itself as minute differences in the speed of light for different colors.
- Sheldon: Balderdash! Matter clearly consists of tiny strings.
- Leslie: *turning towards Leonard* Are you gonna let him talk to me like that?
- Leonard: *hesitates* OK. Well, there's a lot of merit to both theories.
- Leslie: No there isn't! Only Loop Quantum Gravity calculates the entropy of black holes.
- Sheldon: *snorts*
- Leonard: Sheldon, don't make that noise. It's disrespectful.
- Sheldon: I should hope so. It was a snort of derision.
- Leslie: *to Leonard* You agree with me, right? Loop Quantum Gravity is the future of physics.
- Leonard: Sorry, Leslie... I guess I prefer my space stringy, not loopy...
- Leslie: Well, I'm glad I found out the truth about you before this went any further!
- Leonard: Truth? What truth? We're talking about untested hypotheses. Loo-It's no big deal.
- Leslie: Oh, it isn't? Really? Tell me, Leonard: How will we raise the children?!
- Leonard: I-I guess we wait until they're old enough and let them choose their own theory...
- Leslie: You can't let them choose, Leonard! They're children!! *grabs her purse and storms off*
