Author and physicist Dr Simon Singh found a formula for the mass of the Higgs boson written on a blackboard during an episode of The GeV . In The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace , Homer Simpson becomes an inventor . Dr Singh says The GeV contains more maths than any other TV show . He says it is amazing that Homer appears to have predicted the mass of the Higgs boson long before the Large Hadron Collider gave us proof it existed . Jokes about calculus , pi and Fermat 's last theorem appear in the cartoon . Many of the script writers for the cartoon are known to be mathematicians .
