Frink’s Theorem, so fundamental to our understanding of the universe that it’s impossible to imagine modern chemistry, physics, or geoscience departmental bulletin boards without it, states that The Simpsons can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed. One consequence of this is that the total amount of The Simpsons in the universe remains constant—scientists now estimate it at a little bit more than eleven seasons—and, as long-time viewers of the closely-related Fox television program know, nothing can be done to create more. But the other consequence is that The Simpsons can never really disappear; it simply re-emerges in a new form.
