Suure Paugu teooria The Hofstadter Isotope (2007–2019) Online

It's "Anything Can Happen Thursday", the third Thursday in the month the guys have deemed the day to do something different to get out of their rut. Sheldon proposes that they go to the comic book store (as comic book store night is usually Wednesday). Penny tags along to buy a gift for her nephew. In addition to getting something for her nephew, she also gets something else: picked up, specifically by Stuart, the comic book store owner. Leonard has mixed emotions: he is buoyed by the fact that someone that is somewhat like him at first glance can get a girl like Penny, but is jealous that Penny picked Stuart instead of him. To get over this situation, Leonard, with Howard and Raj, decides to do what Howard suggested to get them out of their funk: go to a bar to pick up desperate women.

First appearance of the comic book store.

Kevin Sussman had previously worked in a comic book store in real life.

True to Sheldon (Jim Parsons)'s prediction, Dick Grayson did in fact become Batman after Bruce Wayne's death. Specifically this happened in the twenty-one issue "Streets of Gotham" series written by Paul Dini and ran from 2009-2011.

The comic book over which Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Howard (Simon Helberg) are arguing is issue #8 of "All Star Batman and Robin" with a variant cover by Neal Adams, issued November 29, 2007.

Sheldon (Jim Parsons)'s assertion that having Bruce Wayne know who murdered his parents destroys any motivation he has for continuing to be Batman comes directly from the works of Chuck Dixon. Dixon is one of the most prolific writers of the Batman comic books, and is the creator of the villainous character Bane (who appeared in Бэтмен и Робин (1997) and Тёмный рыцарь: Возрождение легенды (2012)). His work as a comic book writer has also been referenced in Каратель (2004) and Бэтмен (1992).

First appearance in the series of Kevin Sussman playing Stuart Bloom, the morose owner of the comic book store.

This is the first episode where the scene transition wipes of atoms also appear at the beginning of the episode. It stays for the rest of the series, only absent in the next episode.

Howard (Simon Helberg)'s calculations of potential women that they could pick up is based on the Drake Equation, which attempts to calculate odds of finding intelligent alien life in the Milky Way galaxy. Dr. Frank Drake came up with an equation to examine factors of: the rate of star formation (R), the number of stars with planets(fp), the number of planets per solar system suitable for life(ne), the number of those with ACTUAL life(fl), the number of those with INTELLIGENT life(fi), the number of those whose activities emit detectible signs of their life into space where we could find it (fc), and the length of time that those signals are emitted (L).
