I remembered it being Newton's gravity potential, but looking at a picture it's just a big blur and could equally well be the force. Anyway, I applaud Ross as a physics layman for calling the scientists out.

He recognized it from high school (as do I). Which is a sign that theoretical phyisicists don't need to put it on a whiteboard. I even remember playing the game in school, recognizing the equation and thinking that it was neat. Didn't make the connection, though.
