Have you experienced Brain Overflow yet? In recent tests, B.O. has been linked directly to viewing Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman on the Science Channel. Symptoms include cartoon-like eye-bulging, jaw-dropping, enlightenment, lab coat rash, increased IQ and in severe cases, OMG syndrome.

Question 1 of 10
Do you frequently feel like you're the smartest person in the room?
All the time!
Most of the time
Some of the time
Never
How big is the room?
...
Those that have experienced Brain Overflow always believe they are the smartest person in the room. If you are unsure how to answer this question, walk into a crowded room and start talking about Quantum Loop Theory. If you notice everyone gawking at you like you have spinach in your teeth, then you have your answer to this question.

Question 2 of 10
What is String Theory?
Kittens are always cuter when they have a ball of string to play with.
Black holes will consume anything, unless victims are provided with a string to hold onto.
Electrons and quarks within an atom are not dots, but closed-loop oscillating strings.
Dark matter is bound together by a magnetic force that aligns particles into string-like patterns.
...
String Theory states that leptons and quarks within an atom are not points or dots, but actually closed-loop strings that are constantly oscillating. Most humans cannot fathom this level of smart-itude. If you answered this question correctly, there may be hope for you yet!

Question 3 of 10
Have you noticed an intensified respect or affection for Morgan Freeman?
Huh? Who's that?
That guy who was in that movie about the dude with the stuff? No, not really.
I've always liked Morgan Freeman!
Morgan Freeman is the most brilliant being on the planet.
...
Only those that have witnessed the genius of Through the Wormhole can truly recognize the unparalleled brilliance of the being known as Morgan Freeman.

Question 4 of 10
What is Brane Theory?
An idea about your brain or something? Wait, they misspelled "brain!"
The mathematical formula that illustrates how the laws of physics behave in deep space.
The idea that there are multiple, "parallel" universes that periodically collide with each other.
A theory by some guy named Brane that stipulates peanut butter is, indeed, always better with jelly.
...
Brane Theory is the idea that there are multiple universes — otherwise known as membranes or "branes" — that periodically collide with each other. This concept is an accepted alternative theory to the widely-known "Big Bang" as the catalyst for the creation of our universe as we know it...duh.

Question 5 of 10
When was the last time you felt completely blown away?
When my Uncle Marvin pulled a quarter out of my ear. Man, where did that thing come from?!?
When I passed Algebra in tenth grade.
When I watched Through the Wormhole.
Last Tuesday when I found a dollar in my jacket pocket. I love it when that happens.
...
A feeling of being genuinely blown away has been directly associated with watching Through the Wormhole. If you chose A, your Uncle had the quarter up his sleeve. Seriously, everyone hasn't figured that one out yet? Sheesh.

Question 6 of 10
According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, what needs to happen before we can travel backwards through time?
Break the speed of light
Counteract gravity
Pack a suitcase
Repair the Delorean
...
According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, it is possible for us to travel back in time only if we find a way to break the speed of light. If you chose option D, that is not correct. Repairing the Delorean is, however, a noble endeavor.

Question 7 of 10
How are black holes formed?
A large star collapses on itself, compressing huge amounts of mass with incredible force.
Extraterrestrials created black holes to distract our scientists from finding E.T.
Space debris erupts in flame upon approaching the sun, incinerating any nearby matter.
Black holes are merely a figment of our imagination.
...
Black holes are thought to form when large stars collapse in on themselves, condensing huge amounts of matter so quickly and violently that it creates an enormous gravitational vacuum so powerful that even light is sucked in and consumed. The possibility of aliens using this phenomenon to distract us from our search for other life remains an unconfirmed possibility.

Question 8 of 10
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a professional planet hunter?
I'm already a planet hunter...oh look, Earth!
No, never
I've thought about it
It's my dream job!
...
Watching Through the Wormhole and achieving Brain Overflow typically results in subjects feeling a sudden need to be involved in the seemingly endless search for answers to mankind's most daunting questions about the universe and our existence. To those that answered A, Earth has already been discovered...and don't quit your day job.

Question 9 of 10
What is the Large Hadron Collider?
I have no earthly idea.
Some government conspiracy my neighbor says will destroy the planet.
A massive underground machine that smashes protons together in an effort to recreate the Big Bang.
A system of magnets that compresses large amounts of hydrogen in hopes to create a black hole on earth.
...
CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator. Two beams of hadrons — either protons or lead ions — travel around a large circuit at incredible speeds and eventually collide, theoretically replicating conditions present moments after the Big Bang. Warning: The LHC is not a toy. Unqualified operation of this machine will result in imminent annihilation.

Question 10 of 10
What cosmic substance is currently being used to create a timeline of our universe?
Stardust
Electromagnetic waves from the sun
Temperature differences of space radiation thought to be a remnant of the Big Bang
Gravitational force variations throughout the galaxy
...
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation is believed to be a remnant of the Big Bang. CMB can be seen by a radio telescope as a faint glow and is present in varying temperatures and densities throughout our universe.
