This Episode's Science
Model Railroading - Again, we have a week that's fairly short on science. However, at one point Sheldon does attend a presentation at a model railroad store. Model trains have long been a hobby among the tech-savvy. In fact, the origin of the term "hacker" is often attributed the MIT model railroading club, where participants would figure out ways to modify the electrical control system as needed to get it to perform the way they wanted it to (as described by journalist Steven Levy in Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution).
