Trivia[]

  • The paper on Benjamin's table shown on 41:10 actually exists. It was a quantum physics paper published on Physical Review D in 2011.
    • It is currently not an open access article so one may need to purchase copyright for the full text as shown in the series. The 3 pages (from left to right) are Page 4, Page 6 and Page 2 respectively in the published pdf version.
    • A preprint version of the article is also freely available on arXiv. Although the typesetting is different for the formally published version, the content are basically the same. For example, the equations (27) and (28) displayed in the scene appear exactly on Page 7.
