Leonard and Sheldon explain to Zach their experiment in which they shoot lasers at the moon to definitively prove that astronauts have landed on it. As they're preparing the experiment, they answer Zach's questions, as unintelligent as they may be.
I do a unit on Primary and Secondary sources in my computer class. The final project is to prove the 1969 Moon Landing was not a hoax. The internet is full of misinformation on this topic. Someone is either right or wrong; there is no gray area on this. We extensively study primary and secondary sources and look at myriad websites on this topic.
I use this video near the end of the unit so show that the concept is still real and relevant today. I also use a 15 second clip for the first minion movie, where the minions walk through a movie set of them faking the moon landing, just to show that there is still relevance today.
This clip takes us into the universe through a series of steps, with each step being 10x larger than the previous. It illustrates the vastness of the universe and that increasing the field of view by a power of 10 makes a dramatic change in what we see.
This song discusses Tarzan's fascination with the wider human world he has yet to see. During the song, he looks through a telescope and sees the Great Comet of 1882.
Penrose describes his black hole theory, which sparks an idea in Stephen's mind. Stephen reverses Penrose's theory and develops one of his own. Stephen suggests that the universe was born from a black hole exploding. The black hole has such strong space-time singularity that nothing can escape from it, even light. The black hole is triggered by the collapse of a star.
