That cannot be related to Physics, right? Featured on Meta. Now live: A fully responsive profile. Version labels for answers. He terms these people as his sworn enemies and even has a list to document them.
The first of these is Barry Kripke, who antagonized Sheldon through all the twelve seasons — even in his last appearance. Lastly, we have Santa Claus of all beings, whom Sheldon despises more than anyone else for not returning to him his grandfather after his death.
His field of study is String Theory, which he lets go of for three years due to a lack of breakthrough. It turned out all those years he spent with String Theory did have merit, as Sheldon returned to the study and eventually won the Nobel Prize in physics after proving his theory on Super-Asymmetry on String Theory along with Amy.
It might sound boring, but to Sheldon there's no better job in the world; at least it beats being an Engineer, right? They end up spending a lot of time together as two best friends to help each other and give each other advice Penny helping to find a suit for Sheldon for an awards ceremony, or seeking Stan Lee 's address for him because he couldn't meet him as the other members of the group did; Sheldon teaching Penny physics to help her in her relationship with Leonard.
On a few occasions they also appear to share a sort of intimacy that Sheldon doesn't have with anyone else: they both take care of each other when they don't feel well; they stayed together in the flat, cranky and grumpy, as they had both caught the flu after a hug they had exchanged; Sheldon has an immediate, very nervous and alarmed reaction when he hears Penny calling for his help from her flat; they sing together "Soft Kitty" as a round in a kind intimate moment; Sheldon adds an amused "Bazinga" to one of Penny's jokes, to which she replies with a tender "Hmm Amy has shown jealously of this closeness between the two of them even after she moves in with Sheldon.
Sheldon acknowledges Penny as one of his best friends along with Leonard and Raj , while he considers that Howard is a "treasured acquaintance," though he has known him a lot longer than Penny.
Also, when Penny and Leonard break up, Sheldon still considers Penny a friend and makes dinner plans, which he tries to hide when Howard informs him that it is inappropriate behavior and "bros come before ho's.
In the end, Leonard and Penny in a way share custody of Sheldon, taking him to Disneyland and out to buy new shoes. The interaction between Sheldon and Penny has been praised by critics.
James Chamberlain of IGN wrote: "Cuoco and Parsons are great in their own right, but when put together, they truly shine.
Club wrote that they "made such an inspired odd coupling that at times, it seemed as though the entire show were about them" and their chemistry "has some of the rattle and rhythm of the great comedic duos". In " The Intimacy Acceleration ", Penny and Sheldon conduct a psychological experiment which should result in the couple instantly falling in love.
Sheldon wants to do it because he thinks its poppycock, and Penny does it because she gets to ask Sheldon a lot of personal questions that he has to answer honestly.
They admit a lot of truth about themselves like Penny wishes she were as smart as the others and that she uses comedy to cover up insecurities. Finally they stare into each other's eyes for four minutes and decide that they do have a new found intimacy though just as a brother and sister.
In " The Celebration Experimentation ", Sheldon ran into the bathroom after overwhelmed by the birthday party they were throwing him. Penny went into talk to him claiming that it was okay if he wanted to be there. She would probably have tortured him along with his sister and friends at his birthday party when younger, but now that she knows him, he is one of her favorite people.
Penny would be happy to spend his party in the bathroom with him. Sheldon doesn't want people think that that is weird. Penny explains that everyone things he is weird, but still loves him and came to his party anyway. Later at the party, Penny makes him hug her and he has upgraded his feeling toward hugs to being mildly irritating.
In " The Viewing Party Combustion ", Leonard get tired of the quarterly Roommate Agreement meetings where nothing important is ever discussed. Penny who has signed the latest on as an occupant of the apartment and wants to attend since she gets to lead them in the pledge. Leonard sulks about attending the meeting which makes Penny mad driving her and Sheldon over to her apartment breaking the group into two separate camps.
Penny often takes Sheldon's side due to her sibling feelings for him. In " The Bow Tie Asymmetry ", Penny organizes picking up the relatives and is overloaded by Amy's mother's comments and personality.
When the wedding is delayed due to the absence of the bride and groom she explodes when she finds them doing science instead of getting married. Sheldon agrees with Penny so the wedding starts. Penny is overwhelmed at the ceremony of her two best friends getting married. Sheldon and Raj's relationship is rather complicated, but they are best friends. He seems to be the person least annoyed by Sheldon's eccentric quirks.
Sheldon once offered help to Koothrappali by giving him a job under his supervision, which Raj reluctantly accepted to save him from getting deported back to India.
Raj is easily annoyed with much of Sheldon's antics, but has grown accustomed to them. Before the boys went with Sheldon on the Arctic Expedition, Raj explained to Howard that the reason he puts up with Sheldon is because of his religion; 3 months of suffering at the Arctic Circle with Sheldon would mean he Raj would be reborn in the next life as 'a well-hung billionaire with wings'. Raj, as much as he hates Sheldon's opinions on every certain situation and his behavior, considers Sheldon as a good friend.
Sheldon who loves rules and conventions immediately tells Raj that he can't go to Comic-Con this that year. Raj Was the 1st of Sheldon's friends asked to stand in series finale. Sheldon and Howard are best friends, but their relationship is extremely complicated. The relationship between the two has its ups and downs. Sheldon in turn often makes fun of Howard for not having a Doctorate, his clothes, going to MIT and being an engineer.
In " The Parking Spot Escalation ", they fight after Howard acquired Sheldon's parking spot which Sheldon didn't need since he doesn't have a car. Their fight escalated and Amy and Bernadette go after each other, with Penny being injured.
Finally Raj gets Howard to give up his space, but Sheldon, not wanting Howard to be the better man, lets Howard use it until he gets a car or a Batmobile. However, Sheldon has shown he cares for Howard at times, letting him sit in his spot in " The Apology Insufficiency " to make up for revealing details to the FBI that prevent Howard from obtaining a much needed security clearance, and insisting Howard had a beverage to help him after an argument with his mother.
Howard, much like Raj and Leonard, are quite used to Sheldon's inflated ego. Howard tried to help Sheldon learn to drive on a car simulator he created, and Sheldon has helped with Howard's creations.
In " The Friendship Turbulence ", the two admit that they respect each other as friends and their lives would be empty without each other. In " The Comic Book Store Regeneration ", when Howard's mother died, Sheldon surprisingly comforts Howard by reminding him he has friends who will be there for him, something Sheldon did not have when his father died.
These words cause Howard to smile at Sheldon and silently thank him for his words. In " The Application Deterioration " Howard isn't allowed to benefit from the profits of their mutually developed guidance system since he isn't an employee of Caltech.
Leonard and Sheldon decide to split all their profits three ways and Sheldon even gives a portion of his share to Howard's unborn child's college fund. He doesn't want the kid to end up an engineer. In " The Explosion Implosion ", Howard is worried about knowing enough to raise a boy, but then realizes that they could bond over launching model rockets. Sheldon also gets excited about it and they take a Saturn V model out to the desert to launch. The model rocket blows up disappointing Howard until Sheldon tells Howard that he thinks that he'll be a great father especially since Howard lost his.
In Sheldon's wedding, Howard got Mark Hamill for the latter's wedding and Sheldon was grateful to him. In " The Imitation Perturbation ", on Halloween at work Howard dressed up as Sheldon, but Sheldon was clueless as to the impersonation. After he realizes it, he sees that everyone is laughing at his idiosyncrasies. Later at the party, Sheldon and Amy show up dressed as Howard and Bernadette.
Bernadette is not happy with Amy's high squeaky voice and cracks about her small body. Later Sheldon does apologize to Bernie and the bond over both being small in high school.
Sheldon was only eleven. In " The Meteorite Manifestation ", the Wolowitzes are having a problem with their neighbors' new deck and the floodlights that light up their backyard. Sheldon helps them with the paperwork at the city zoning office and makes their neighbors tear down their deck. The Wolowitzes deny knowing who filed the paper work. Sheldon was not happy that he learned that they had made other home improvements without the proper paperwork. He decides to take friendship over the law for once.
He treats Howard's kids better than Beverly treated Leonard. Of the group, Bernadette is the most patient with Sheldon's quirks and personality and often knows how to handle him and they are best friends. This action is most likely due to her experience in dealing with stubborn children. For instance, in " The Einstein Approximation ", she is able to send Sheldon to bed with a few stern words, much to the surprise of the group.
On another occasion, she was able to help him overcome his ornithophobia in " The Ornithophobia Diffusion ", by persuading him to stroke the bird he was scared of. Finally, in " The Hawking Excitation ", when Howard was getting his own back on Sheldon by being mean to him, she argued that he was being mean himself and stated, "Sheldon doesn't know when he's being mean because the part of his brain that should know is getting a wedgie from the rest of his brain," before ordering him to stop with his actions, with the exception of using Sheldon to get out of having to go dress shopping with Mrs.
Sheldon gets tired of it and turns off the music. She also takes him to the mall so Sheldon can buy a present to get revenge on Amy for kissing him in public. The evil plan backfires and Amy loves it.
Sheldon also shows a great affection for Amy and admits that he loves her impressing Bernadette. Later, in " The Fermentation Bifurcation ", when everyone else is at a wine tasting in Napa Valley, Bernadette who was still pregnant at the time spends the day with Sheldon, and ends up having a great time. Sheldon visits to complain to Bernadette and she tricks him into doing all the chores that Howard should be doing. In " The Geology Methodology ", Bert asks Sheldon to collaborate with him on a dark matter project involving meteorites which Sheldon likes, but is embarrassed to tell others about.
When Bert learns this he stops working with Sheldon and replaces him with Leonard. Growing up, Sheldon idolized Wil Wheaton. Sheldon was such a fan that in , he traveled ten hours by bus to the fourth annual Dixie-Trek Convention in Jackson, Mississippi, wearing his Star Fleet Academy cadet uniform in order to meet Wil Wheaton and get him to autograph his mint in-package Wesley Crusher action figure.
However, his arduous journey, during which he had to twice violate his personal rule against relieving himself on board a moving vehicle, was for naught; although advertised to appear, he did not show up. It was at that moment, he vowed eternal hatred for Wil Wheaton.
During this tournament, Sheldon utters in Klingon to Wheaton from across the room, "Revenge is a dish best served cold. Sheldon explains logically what cards must be in Wheaton's hand and how he is able to beat them. After Sheldon informs Wheaton why he hates him, Wil claims his grandma had died.
Sheldon falls for the ruse and throws the game, only to learn shortly thereafter that he had lied, causing him to reaffirm Wheaton's status as his mortal enemy in a display of rage akin to Adm. During said game, Sheldon named his team "The Wesley Crushers". In this encounter, Wheaton also managed to cause Penny to break up with Leonard through deceit, by upsetting Penny who was on Sheldon's bowling team enough to make her leave the bowling alley, Wheaton's team would go on to win the bowling match over Sheldon's team.
Wheaton appears again in " The Second Excitation " at a showing of the movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," with 21 seconds of deleted footage. After Wheaton and his crew were allowed to cut in line by the security guard, Sheldon exclaimed with his impersonation of Patrick Stewart's accent, "As Captain Jean-Luc Picard once said, the line must be drawn here When Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Howard were eventually denied entrance to the theater, Sheldon stole the film cans containing the footage, resulting in an angry mob led by Wheaton chasing the four out of the theater.
Here, Wheaton gave Sheldon his last mint condition, autographed Wesley Crusher action figure. Data in Star Trek: Next Generation approached them, saying he "hadn't seen one of these Wesley Crusher Action Figures in ages," and proceeded to take the mint-condition-still-in-box action figure away from Sheldon.
After tearing the packaging, Spiner became Sheldon's new mortal enemy. Unfortunately, Wil Wheaton ends up getting the role of Professor Proton on the reboot which upsets Sheldon and he tries to get the guys to call in displeasure in hopes of getting the reboot cancelled but it doesn't work. Sheldon returns to Wil to demand that he turn down the role. Wil refuses and is on Sheldon's enemies list again.
During the rest of the series Wil Wheaton was friendly with the gang. Between his neurotically strict speech patterns, lack of social conventions, and attention to detail, Sheldon is the male equivalent of Leonard's mother Beverly Hofstadter though in many ways she surpasses him, as Sheldon can and does, admittedly rarely, show affection to others, while she never has. Sheldon did keep in touch by Skype, much to the confusion of Leonard.
Indeed, her inability to understand social conventions seems if anything to be somewhat more extreme and has to have some social concepts explained to her by, of all people, Sheldon though his explanations typically reflect his own, at best, incomplete understanding. It's therefore unsurprising that Sheldon and Beverly share an odd non-romantic attraction to each other.
They have a mutual interest in having their brains scanned and have even sung a duet of the Journey song "Any Way You Want It"; however, she did once kiss him passionately while intoxicated declaring afterwards that she'd "rather have the busboy". She apologized the following morning and Sheldon accepted as she was intoxicated he blamed Penny. Despite being equivalents, there are things that make Sheldon and Beverly different, like, for example: Unlike Beverly, Sheldon truly appreciates Leonard and is capable of love, which Beverly is severely lacking and near nonexistent.
In " The Conjugal Conjecture ", Beverly actually snaps at Sheldon when he acts crazy after hearing that her ex-husband is probably hooking up with Sheldon's mother, her maternal rival and then Sheldon actually talks back to Beverly taking offense of her calling his mother a Bible thumping bumpkin though he admits her analysis is partially correct. Robert Wolcott is a brilliant but reclusive topologist, noted for Wolcott's Theorem, who has made great strides in his work on nonlinear time while ignoring the rest of the world.
Sheldon Cooper has corresponded with him and is invited to his mountain cabin. The guys go with him at Amy's insistence. He lives off the land and ignores the world thus making great strides in his work. He recommends the life to Sheldon if he is really dedicated to science. Sheldon considers it, but he misses Amy and his cell phone which the paranoid doctor took from him. Sheldon still has a grudge against him because he said he would move to California with him, but stayed in Texas.
Tam didn't know that Sheldon was mad at him, but they made up just before he left. Of all the main characters of the show, Sheldon is presumed to be asexual and has displayed absolutely no interest in pursuing a sexual relationship with anyone.
He tries to avoid all human physical and emotional contact. He has, however, had a few opportunities to "get it on" - maybe more opportunities than the other characters. Being true to his personality, though, he never seems to realize it. The introduction of Amy Farrah Fowler has changed this aspect of him, at least slightly. Even though Amy used to be a girl, who was his friend, but not his girlfriend, and now is his girlfriend, she is the closest person who romantically-linked to Sheldon.
Though, their relationship used to be nothing more than that of friends, or, as Sheldon put it, "a relationship of the minds".
Eventually, they move in together and get married. Lalita was arranged to be married to Raj. They went on a date together which gradually deteriorated as alcohol made him obnoxious.
When Sheldon arrived at the bar, he thought she looked similar to an Indian fairy tale princess from a bedtime story his mother used to read to him when he was sick. When he told her, she was flattered and ended up dumping Raj and going out for dinner with Sheldon.
When he was asked about it the next day, he simply said that they ate and discussed dental hygiene. He didn't seem to realize that he technically was on a date with her. When Leonard asked him if he was going to see her again he looked puzzled and said "Why would I see her again? I already have a dentist". Ramona was a huge admirer of Sheldon and had an obvious crush on him, which he didn't seem to notice.
After that, she began spending more and more time with him, haunting the apartment night and day walking around like the T-X terminator from " Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. She prevented Sheldon from doing anything recreational like playing Halo, paintball or watching Battlestar Galactica so he could focus on his work that he was so enamored with. Eventually, he made a breakthrough. When she suggested they share credit, he simply responded "Get out!
In season 11 , she returns to Caltech pursuing Sheldon while Amy is away for the summer in New Jersey. Penny has to point out the romantic attachment she has. After Ramona kisses him, he runs to New Jersey to propose to Amy.
When Amy confronts Ramona, she thanks her for pushing him to propose, leading to an awkward hug. In " The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem ," after the affair with Ramona Nowitzki , there is a brief incident in the Caltech cafeteria that appears to be the beginning of the same kind of relationship with a different grad student, Kathy O'Brien.
Like before she is impressed with his work and want to talk with him. She agrees to bring over pizza to his apartment. And she already has his address. While Abby and Raj hit it off, Martha became interested in Sheldon. The two enjoyed a few stimulating discussions together at their second meeting, during which Raj and Abby, "were getting busy in the living room," Sheldon was either unaware or disregarded her interest in him before he went to bed.
Martha visited Sheldon's room in the middle of the night and she asked to come in, hoping for sex. Misinterpreting this, Sheldon went to sleep in Leonard's room and left Martha alone in his room.
Sheldon first met Amy via a dating site where Howard and Raj sneakily set up an account for him in the season 3 finale, " The Lunar Excitation ".
When they told Sheldon, he refused to do it, believing dating sites to be "hokum". He was blackmailed into doing it when Raj said he had hidden a dirty sock in his apartment and would not remove it unless Sheldon went on the date.
When they arrived, Sheldon had doubts until he met Amy, who acted exactly like Sheldon. She only agreed to come on the date as she and her mother have an agreement that Amy would date at least once a year. Sheldon had the same agreement with his mother about church; therefore, they bonded over their relationships with their mothers. Sheldon noted they had a lot in common and bought her a beverage of tepid water.
Raj and Howard regretted what they had done, with Howard saying, "Good God, what have we done? In the season 4 premiere, " The Robotic Manipulation ," Sheldon reveals that he has been talking to Amy for four months online and via text messaging, after they first met. Penny convinces Sheldon to go on a proper date with Amy first, before he actually decides to have a child. She ends up on the date with them, as she had to drive them to the restaurant. While there, Penny tries to make conversation, but fails.
After the subject of Sheldon's first date comes up, Sheldon calculates the number of men Penny would have dated. He ends up with , with 31 sexual encounters. Amy then innocently asks if Penny feels like a "slut" and reveals that she has had sexual encounters if you include stimulation of the brain to induce orgasm.
Eventually, Penny convinces Sheldon not to have a child with Amy by threatening to tell Sheldon's highly-religious mother; who would likely frown upon a test tube, surrogate, out-of-wedlock grandchild.
In episode 3 of season 4, " The Zazzy Substitution ", Amy and Sheldon breakup for a period of time after an argument over whose field of science is superior. This results in Sheldon buying a clowder of 25 cats, which worries Leonard.
So he calls Sheldon's mother , who is unusually surprised at what she sees with Sheldon. She then calls Amy and uses the technique of reverse psychology which Leonard instantly picks up on, but Sheldon is completely oblivious to. She tells Sheldon that it was a good thing he and Amy broke up because they are completely incompatible.
In episode 5 of season 4, " The Desperation Emanation ", Amy requests Sheldon to meet her mother , which terrifies him after Leonard tells him that their relationship has stepped up.
He tries many ways to avoid her, as he thinks she has fallen in love with him. Sheldon freaks out Amy's mother a bit, which is what Amy wanted him to do, when they tell her about their "fake" sex life. Her relationship with Sheldon is complex; it began as a purely intellectual friendship which consisted solely of text messaging, but at some urging from Penny, develops into a platonic friendship with dynamics similar to a romantic relationship, although not sexually intimate.
They later pretend to have had a sexual encounter the made-up details of which included Amy becoming pregnant as an experiment to see how long it would take the gossip to spread throughout their social circle,. She invites him in and, after advising him on how to deal with Priya, flirts with and then kisses Sheldon to which he responds "fascinating".
After she throws up and passes out, Sheldon puts a towel under her head as a pillow and leaves before doing this he regulated Amy's kitchen timer, which was making him go crazy. The next morning, a hungover Amy video-calls Sheldon, and he informs her of the kiss, and when Amy admits she is unsure where to go from there, they agree to pretend the entire events of the evening never occurred.
Amy invites Leonard to a wedding, explaining that she'd invited Sheldon before, but he "acted like a child. Sheldon bops Leonard rather hard on the shoulder, and states very firmly that Amy is not Leonard's She is not for you; not for you!
In " The Isolation Permutation ", Amy got depressed after Penny and Bernadette went bridesmaid dress shopping without her and Sheldon ended up comforting her. While she didn't work at Caltech with the guys, she did get transferred there for a few weeks to do a study.
She has also mentioned doing work at UCLA's lab as well, which could be where she worked full-time as a researcher. By the end of the series, Amy's knowledge of neuroscience helped Sheldon with his work in physics, which ultimately won the two of them a Nobel Prize.
Stuart's business is a main location on the series. As the owner of the comic book store, Stuart had a hard time getting his business off the ground but it finally paid off later in the series. It's not known if he had a real passion for owning a store, but his degree from Rhode Island School of Design proved that he enjoyed comic book illustrations. It was great for fans to see his business finally make a profit by the end of the series.
