Nuclear Physicist Reacts to THE SIMPSONS Nuclear Power Plant Episodes Part 2

[@michaelsommers2356]

Since Burns is childless, he won't be leaving his fortune to his children, and so could give it all to Yale.

[@catness1809]

I came down to the comments as soon as that line played hoping to see it explained because I didnt get it either 😂 that makes perfect sense though, thank you!!

If I know Burns a bit he would rather bulldoze everything on his death and be buried with the whole plant and all the employees as well.

[@bnease007]

Elina is absolutely adorable in the best ways possible. It’s refreshing too see one so bright, ambitious, kind, and caring - not capable of understanding the nuances of the dry, cynical and sometimes dark humor we Americans feast upon.

[@greendale634]

The first college was excited Burns had no kids because that meant they were more likely to get his money. 😁 And later, when Homer's voice wasn't recognized, Homer then spoke as he did in the 1989 version of the cartoon. 🙂

[@Mark-from-Melbourne]

Yes, and that's what drove Lisa to drink.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

The thing about Frank Grimes and that entire episode is that it's basically "What would happen if a regular person from our reality found themselves in the simpsons universe and had to work with Homer?" It doesn't help that the guys backstory is that he's an orphan who sacrificed everything to get educated as a Nuclear technician and is very much Homers opposite, while homer just showed up on day one and got a job he was severely underqualified for.

As long as your child only designs a nuclear reactor and doesn't try to actually build one in his backyard like the boy scout . He tried to build a breeder reactor, whatever that is, in his backyard. The nuclear Regulatory Commission made a statement saying that he did not achieve criticality, but the contamination caused his backyard to be a Superfund Site. Thanks for the video and thumbs up.

[@MrJools70]

This woman could read the phone book out and I would still watch and listen with that voice and accent 😁

Childless means he has nobody to leave his money to, meaning the university people are greedy hungry for his money. Thank you and thumbs up for the video.

[@weatherwaxusefullhints2939]

When you said "this would be my child", it hit me right in the feels, knowing that smart women choose to have so few children. Since IQ is largely genetic, there is that contradictory demand on smart women to have many children but to also use their precious time to contribute to the knowledge of mankind. It's not clear which one would be the greater contribution over the long run. Luckily I don't have to deal with such problems. I'm a man and a rather smart one if I say so myself. So naturally I have chosen to spend my life watching KZbin and contribute to the advancement of humanity in the comment section.

Indian Point, New York is the location of a Nuclear Power Plant. It is controversial for many reasons not the least of which is the geological fault line upon which is was built. "Childless" is important because it implies there is no one to leave his estate to and the University hopes to receive his wealth when he dies.

Hi Elina. I wanted to explain the "childless" joke. Sometimes, wealthy alumni leave money to their alma mater in their last will and testament. These university representatives were excited to try to charm Mr. Burns because he was so old, so wealthy, and he had no children that would compete for his allocation of wealth after death.

[@martinbobfrank]

I'm actually a tutor who used to work in industry, like Homer. That's what is happening today. School teachers, who I've never been but work alongside, are leaving in droves because they spend more time doing paperwork than teaching. The education services are now run by multitudes of managers who are on far more money than tutors or teachers but have the education of ten-year-olds. I was asked, and did, teach my own manager and a senior manager both maths to a 16-year-old level because they had the maths equivalent of a nine-year-old child. That is how mad it is in the West.

[@jeremysargent5037]

15:25 It is a well known scientific fact that racing stripes improve performance. Why else would all the top race cars have them. It is just like how red paint is faster than any other colour and so is the preferred choice for the coolest sports cars.

Heavy satire in this video. The helicopter ride to the mountain retreat was a reference to the movie, "Ex Machina". The chant of the robot women as they boarded the plane on its way to Yale was a variation on the nonsensical Yale-ey chant "Boolah-Boolah, Boolah-boolah.

[@CartoonHero1986]

There is an episode where a new guy named Frank Grimes starts working at the plant and Homer drives him insane with his horrible work ethic. When Frank and the other plant workers are comparing their degrees they mention to Frank that everyone BUT Homer has some kind of formal education to work in the plant, and Homer just showed up the day the plant opened and got a job. Homer then replies "yeah I didn't even know what a Nuclear Plower Pant was!" or something like that where he badly messes up the phrase "Nuclear power plant" they then reveal to Frank that Homer is the Safety Inspector for the plant.

[@SaltyPirate71]
