Theoretical Physicists are definitely smart, even some of the smartest minds on the planet, but Engineers deserve as much respect, for being able to bring theories and equations of Physics into real life applications. There are many things Engineers have to know and understand that Physicists don't need to.
@Carlos Sendra thats a fact but its a misleading one. Its just semantics, the tradespeople who do those jobs are called engineers and so are the higher level engineers that require a degree. Its just semantics, its not 'what everyone thinks they do'. Salaries are kinda low but thats just the UK in general. Google tells me labourer wages are on average ~£8/hr, which is fine, but starting graduate salaries tend to be 25-30k, way higher than the labourer one (unless youre working 60 hours a week).
It is just a joke to make the show funny. Everyone thinks that engineers are just as clever as physicists. I do not know why people are so serious about defending engineers’ side.
Bernedette did it once before they were like "we're gonna make her part of the main cast"...honestly, it could've been an amazing running joke, but it would've been problematic if she had that much control over Sheldon on a regular basis I guess. Or it could've been hilarious. We got what we got though
@@rocketmom60 they just don't wanna deal with it because no matter how hard you try, Sheldon isn't gonna budge. So they just choose to let him do what he wants to unless he pisses them off too much
Raj did. Howard a little bit but it was outside of knowledge. And leonard i wished he had more because he looks like an idiot compared to the rest of them.
🤣🤣🤣 Tell me how is an engineer able to find the deep secrets of the cosmos, how is he able to interpret with his 6 years study in the same way a guy with 10 years of study and then a life of study does? Physicists are above engineers.
To be totally honest Sheldon's attitude is very indicative of what PHD Physics professor's think about Engineers taking graduate level Physics classes.
You might have just had an obnoxious professor. But a master engineer would have taken very high level physics courses. Only cutting off at the Quantum part. But many would keep going.
I may not have been in the workplace long, but even from my somewhat brief tenure, I know that although being the “idea guy” is easy, but they NEVER match reality and it’s the people on the ground that often have to work around such ideas, not with them.
@@courier6960 Being the "idea guy" when the project being worked on is discovering the mathematical and physical underpinnings of the universe is much much harder than being the "idea guy" in other places. Theoretical physicists can't just come up with ideas, they come up with ideas based on observation and have solid math to support their models, and then make testable predictions to invalidate or validate their models. It's the hardest "idea guy" job in the world after being the "idea guy" in mathematics.
It's a warm summer evening, circa 600 BC. You've finished your shopping at the local market, or agora... and you look up at the night sky. There you notice some of the stars seem to move, so you name them planetes or wanderer...
This was my life in college when I hung out with the physics students. They'd always nag on me for being an engineering student. Interestingly enough, though, on all classes we took together, I had higher grades than them.
@@akshaynatu1084 you are absolutely wrong. Space travel brings MANY benefits to every day life on earth. Stuff that is common place now like wide bandwidth connection was originally developed for the space program. As well as simple stuff like aluminum foil or more efficient solar panels. And that's not even counting the future benefits it brings, like the ability to reach other planets where we could colonize or obtain resources that are scarce on Earth. Saying that there is no benefit to going to space would be like saying that there was no benefit in Christopher Columbus voyage that resulted in discovering America. Yes, I know he didn't really discover it, there were other explorers who arrived here before, like Leaf Erikson and some Portuguese explorers, but he was the first one that someone gave a sh*t about at that time (which is unfair, but that's life).
@@akshaynatu1084 that's probably the most naive statement about space travel I've heard. Space travel is funded out of a hope of figuring out newer, more efficient and durable resources, expansion of human civilisation and growth in the knowledge of human origin and future which would help solve mysteries which affect our progress.
If you ask me, Sheldon had it coming! No one has the right to make someone else feel like they're less than worthy just because they think they're smarter than you! Keep in mind here that Sheldon was picked on as a kid and for being smart, so there's little to no reason why he should be harassing someone who's not as smart as him but just as qualified to take his class! The whole purpose of a classroom is to take people who are trying to become smarter anyways and give them something to work on! (that's probably not the actual reason but for all intents and purposes, let's say that it is for the sake of argument!)
Dat Tran no, I had bullies picking on me for other reasons! My name, my glasses, my appearance in general! But never for being smart! Don't get me wrong, I am smart, just not THAT smart
You assume Howard is not as smart as Sheldon but on what grounds? Sheldon may appear to be more knowledgeable about physics than Howard, but that doesn't make him smarter; being knowledgeable and being smart are not the same. If someone encounters a problem no one has ever seen, being knowledgeable isn't enough. The truly smart person can solve problems despite never having seen anything like them before; such a person can figure out new things, make new connections, see things from different perspectives, etc.
Sheldon has proven over and over, over the past 9+ years that he is the smartest of them. Then, in decreasing order are Amy, Leonard, Raj, Howard, Bernadette, and like... 100 levels later, Penny. The only person who was smarter than him, was the north korean kid, who's now too busy getting high with his gf's hippie group. And, of course, Hawking.
not true, howard show he can build stuff something shendon cant do, howard had a few good idea, that Sheldon thought where impressive, so did leoard, and that guy that talk funny. so Sheldon I really not any smarter then his friends.
This. This is what the show needs to be about. Not about drama and relationships and trivial things. But about science. And being gigantic dicks to each other. Sheldon is the backbone of this show and that's precisely why he must stay like this, otherwise this is worse than any other generic sitcom these days. That is the big bang theory formula. That is why older seasons are much more watchable and enjoyable than newer seasons. Remember the episode where they built a robot? When are we gonna get a Monte 2.0?
+Alex Gu Science is not for everyone, and was never meant to in the first place. Drama on the other hand... If you do find science to be "boring", then why are you wasting your time on this show? Oh, let me guess. Too busy getting off to the dumb blonde chick with big boobs (Nothing wrong with Penny, but Amy is far more pleasant to watch. At least she has a brain.)
Science may not be for everyone, but how long does a show have to go over one thing? Explain that to me. If you have a disdain for drama, keep that to yourself. Take your own advice of what you gave to me so ....
Alex Gu One thing? This show has gone through a lot of topics and people. It's not all Einstein and E= Mc2. We had Physics, Chemistry, Engineering (and many of it's variants), Astronomy, Astrophysics, Computer science, Philosophy, Newton, Hawking, Curie... But sure, just keep telling what's only convenient to you, and skip other things that other people are apparently not smart enough to see. You may fool others, but you are not fooling me. The immense majority of people, like you, consider it boring, while others, like me, consider it fascinating and one of the few things that make life interesting. Where would we be without science? Eating grapes and hunting animals in our underwear with sticks and stones. Now that would be truly boring. So, do consider to give up on the show when it goes back to it's roots, if it ever does, since you deem the science part of this show "boring" and not worth watching if it's not full of babies, drama, break ups and more cliche things like that. Everyone does the same thing. At least Big Bang tried to be different. And big surprise, it was a major success. "Little drama". That's basically the core of this show since season 6, and that was their biggest mistake. They no longer focus on science stuff, why don't just turn them into popular man that gets all the pussy and the whole stereotypical nonsense? Just let them all move to Beverly Hills, get wasted, have orgies and participate in American Idol (Thank god that show is finally over, for the record). Also, Right back at you. If you have a disdain for science, keep it to yourself dipshit. But no, you had to comment just because you didn't like my statement. You know what? I will follow my own advice. And you should too, unless you really have nothing better to do with your life than bitch over meaningless shit with a stranger on the internet. P.S: You're welcome. P.P.S: And yes, this show is also about watching Sheldon slowly turn from a cold robot into an actual human being. I never had any complaints with that.
Sergmanny Rolic Whoa, whoa, whoa... I must say, you're comin' off a tad pretentious. I think science is awesome, by the way, and though drama has its place, I agree it's not for the BBT. Basically, I agree with you, but ya don't have to be so over the top, unprovoked.
lmao integrate x^2e^-x That's a fairly simple first year engineering problem. Also pretty sure Euler-Lagrange Theorem is second year. of course Howard would know those
I'll admit. If this is the kind of sitcom the show wants to present itself as, I'd actually watch it again. But something tells me this is just a break from the drama and the bullshit.
TBBT has gone downhill since season 4. The drama has continually increased, most of the characters have no real role anymore, more scenes are 2 people not as a group like in early seasons while the comedy overall has decreased.
I'd say that the downfall started since season 6. I do admit that watching Sheldon gradually changing into an actual human being instead of keep being a robot is something. After that, yes it's all downhill. By the way, you're not wrong. This scene between Sheldon and Howard is just a diamond among a pile of coal (referencing your "this is just a break from the bullshit"). The rest is not worth watching.
I agree. Season 4 was to me a breaking point. When I ended wacthing it, i felt something had changed, something was missing. Just got worst in the 5. Even more Ridiculous further later. But thinking this very carefuly, there was a moment in the 3º season, the show took a path entirely new. I can't say what but I felt. It gone downhill after that.
The real problem with shows like this is that it's impossible NOT to start adding in some drama, because not doing so just isn't realistic. Without the drama, though, then you just have the same episode over and over, but with new jokes... so, basically, a subpar cartoon where characters age but never change.
For God's sake Howard has a master's from MIT....it's no joke! And he works with THE NASA and is an Astronaut..... C'mmon Sheldon you're just jealous! Plus anyone remember that episode where Howard gets upset and leaves the team just before the robot fighting match with kripke? Sheldon thought he would survive quite easily without Howard.....and then when sits with the broken robot....he didn't know the first thing as to how to repair it...
😆 I agree and like amy said that sheldon will always be a genius while Howard's accomplishment is done already. That is malarkey at its finest of all the 3 Howard's is the only one who has contributed to science that time if you think about it sheldon is just wasting university resources to
Physics and engineering are notably different domains. While engineering relies on theoretical physics we have a completely different "science" that's used to get the theories rolling in practice. That's why we have engineers in the first place
@@moarz__1888 Just because physicists don't work for NASA, go to space, or making robots does not mean they are not contributing to science. A lot of scientists contribute to science by publishing papers. Sheldon wouldn't be able to keep his position if he didn't constantly publish papers in peer-reviewed journals. Especially, that he wasn't tenured in the first few seasons.
@@FBCDC Theoretical physics and astrophysics are more pursuits of curiosity than practicality. Finding the god particle had no practical relevance to any of our lives.
@@baltaco5244 Shut up! I'm trying to typing on teh interwebs in RUclips comments section and tell random people to shut up for no reason! Jajajajajajaja!
Howard has been through grad school level engineering. He has probably seen the difference between ineffective teachers on an ego trip and true mentors who are trying to get you to help them put cool shit in space. So for post grad, he is prepared for either and has the solutions already formulated for dealing with them.
Wait, wouldn't the correct answer to sheldon's question about the cookies and scientist be Leibniz. He discovered calculus(and published his findings before Newton) independently and has a cookie nambed after him, leibniz biscuits.
+Jeevan Devaranjan he published his finding before newton but newton knew it all before him, in fact the gravity rules by newton were built by the concept of limit (and the famous apple story) imply that newton used calculus to develop the 3 laws of gravity ("acceleration of the apple when it fell was increasing" he measured the position and the distance of the fall, and after that he took the derivative of distance to get speed and the derivative of the speed to get the acceleration). and this idea was developed before finding the gravity laws, but Leibniz is credited for developing the integration rules and he employed integral calculus for the first time to find the area under the graph of a function y = ƒ(x).
+Mohamed AL sudani You are somewhat correct about Newton's notion of the limit. He used a simillar concept to provide a solution to Zeno's Paradox. Now a when it comes to calculating the motion of objects such as projectiles, Newton's ideas are not required(such as the apple). The study of motion, Kinematics, existed before Newton and these equations are used to calculate and predict such phenomena(such equations are taught in high school). One of Newton's contribution to physics was Dynamics. Everybody knew how the apple fell and at what velocity, but nobody knew why? Newton solved the Kepler problem using dynamics as he was able to explain WHY the planets orbited in ellipses and followed Kepler's laws. Kepler already knew how planetary motion worked but didn't know why. This is crucial because in order to find out how things work, you sometimes need to know why(many problems in dynamics are like this). We don't know if Newton knew about calculus before him(I think he did) but in the modern age Newton's methods and notation are rarely used. The concept of the limit(as you know it) did not exist in the time of Newton and Leibniz. They used the ideas of infinitesimals. This posed many philosphical problems(though Abraham Robinson proved that they didn't) and were replaced by limits that were developed by Cauchy and Weirstrauss. Also Leibniz's calculus is more elegant. None of the methods of Newton's calculus is used today(his notation is sometimes used, but not as much as Leibniz's or Lagrange's) and British mathematics lagged behind continental math due to its inferior notation and execution of calculus. This problem was eventually fixed when Leibniz's methods finally entered the country though mathematicians such as Hardy, Babbage and Cayley and caused a new golden age of mathematics in the country. Ever since then nobody has ever looked back, and Lebiniz's notation is the standard. Another benifit of lebiniz's notation is that it can be expanded in to multiple dimensions(such is partial differentiation).
I agree with all what you said, except the part about the apple story, because people were thinking that the apple fall was in the same acceleration from the first point in the fall until it touched the ground, the fact that newton didn't want to accept, and when the concept of limit was released, the principals of calculus were easy to be found after that just like the derivative.... etc. and to top it off, newton used calculus in various ways to discover amazing things, just like his method to find an approximate solution for equation of any power.
+Mohamed AL sudani Oh by no means am I denying the genius of Isaac Newton. Although people portray him as a practical scientist Newton furthered many branches of mathematics with the binomial theorem, newton-raphson method and analytic geometry. And you are correct about the apple part(just made me wonder if Newton could think of the inverse square law with an example where it barely makes a difference) and admit my mistake. The one thing that I don't agree with is the foundations of calculus. Even though Newton and Leibniz had layed out the foundations of calculus, well to be honest they really didn't. They in a sense are responsible for the motiviation and idea of calculus rather than its foundations. When calculus was first discovered it was riddeled with holes. The method Newton and Leibniz used to calculate derrivatives are very different from the ones we use today. Calculus was even attacked by other figures, most notably by Berkley in the Analyst. The foundations of calculus, limits, was layed out by Cauchy and Weirstrauss through the Epsilon Delta definition. Remember the concept of a limit didn't really exist in the time of Newton and Leibniz, and they justified their arguments with infinitesimals(leibniz used the d prefix to denote infinitesimals, thats why a dx trails an integral and a derivative can be written as df/dx).
+Jeevan Devaranjan That's brilliant! Since the question was "which scientist both helped to develop calculus and..." it doesn't matter who discovered it first. And the contribution of Leibniz was, without a doubt, no less important than Newton's.
Howard said the truth about all the hard professors with General Eds classes that we kinda don't care about at all like if you aren't a good Proffesor we'll drop the class lol
+residentevilfreak500 In my school if the professor is crappy we have to deal with it and get external resources if we actually care about his/her class. After all, if you depend on a professor to learn you're not going to be anything extraordinary. The student is always the one in charge of his/her own learning, what you've said is just applied in highschool or lower. Anything at a professional level is up to you.
residentevilfreak500 Oh, sorry, it was so funny I forgot to laugh! Jk, I'm having a bad day and I like to take it out on yt comments. Don't take it personal.
As a mechanical engineer myself, I do agree that the physics we use is slightly less dense than what physicists are more familiar with but engineering is all about physics mathematics and yes, even chemistry and I have never seen a physicist ever insult an engineer like Sheldon does But it is hilarious how Jim Parsons pulled off the character of Sheldon so well 😂
Not to that extent but I have certainly seen physics teachers belittle engineers, albeit not face to face. There is some truth to it because engineers spend so little time on math and physics that there is no time to truly understand it so there are some pretty baffling gaps in knowledge (this is coming from an engineer). Off course it doesnt make it right. But to be fair, the same thing happens toward economists in engineering circles
John M Indeed it is, although I didn't ask you why you do it, I said that the way you mentioned it implied that it was a different method than the one OP said, while it's not, it's just integrating by parts with a quicker notation.
Sheldon: "Are you familiar with the Brachistochrone Problem?" Me: (after watching 1 video about it on Vsauce, but not understanding a single word from it) "Yes! Yes I am!!! 😃" Howard: "Yes, it's an inverted cycloid" Me: (Knows what "inverted" and "cycloid" means, but putting the two words next to each other make me realize just how stupid I am) " *NVM!!!!* 🙃" (flips table)
"Oh come on. You might've gone to school for a couple more years than me, but guess what: Engineers are just as smart as physicists!" *Gasps* "You take that back!" *Snyde response with attitude* "No." Yeah Sheldon, you can just shove it.
don't universities require a certain number of people (or at least more than one person) to sign up in order for it to be recognized as an official class?
+joshfactor1 I was in classes/seminars with just 2-3 other people , one that I took the teacher would allow us to leave the second half because the material was not mandatory for the exam, only one dude would stay so it was a private class for him lol
+joshfactor1 It all depends on the level of the class and the type of class that you are teaching. 1. I can easily have an independent study course where a professor and one student work together for course credit 2. Typically graduate classes are small, but I have taken multiple graduate level courses which 3-4 people enrolled. 3. Summer courses can be taught with a limited amount. However, different universities will require you to have X amount of students before you can be paid in full for them. One university I worked for required 9, another required 15. However, I did have a class of 4, and I was prorated the salary, but still was able to teach 4. Some of this is moot point if the administration cannot allow your class to go forward. As long as it's approved by the department and you (As a professor) are SACS accredited, there is a large width in what you can teach. So you can allow yourself an opportunity to teach a wide selection of courses. However, if the class doesn't "make", it doesn't carry forward. Which means that Sheldon would not have a class by the time the semester started, and would have most likely received an e-mail the semester before that his class didn't make and he wouldn't be teaching it in the upcoming semester. Especially if he had an enrollment of zero. Again, those rules do bend for graduate school, or in Howard's case, an independent study in graduate school.
it depends in the university. some have a note at the time of registration that some classes might require a minimum number of enrollees for the class to go forward.
Ayan Mukherjee that's season 8 man, almost near the actual new ones that are still coming out. You didn't say much since it's s8 of 9 seasons released in total :p
lol you don't need to wait till season 9. i thought it already went downhill from season 8. season 7 was the last season that wasn't boring and cringey
1:52 ...Integration by parts? Sheldon probably meant \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}, which would require a ~tricky method, such as "Feynman's trick." Had Howard responded that way, it would have made for a nerdier and more deeply satisfying joke. To this end, I find it disappointing that the math/physics rivalry hasn't been milked to a large extent on this show.
I count my years in physics by the amount of jargon I knew from this ep. So far I've encountered bullets 1-3 on Sheldon's whiteboard and understood all of Howard's answers
I really respect the part at 2:09 where the writers used exceptional academic logic to determine that most theorems, "competing models", and even most types of experiments usually come up with the same outcomes, and thus have exceptional reliability as well as external and internal validity. Even though most "geniuses" have to make the claim that their model is better than all the others...
***** In Laymens terms, you can answer many questions through surveys, experiments, field studies, and field experiments, and they will largely come up with the same results. However, since the methodology for some scientists are more important than the question, they reject any theory or method that mostly says the exact same thing that theirs did. For example: Media Framing and 2ndd level agenda setting largely say the exact same thing: That journalists find interesting themes, within a story, and they have the capacity to largely write similar stories. Both theories confirm this, but they have idiosyncrasies that divide people like the presidential election. Whereas, Thomas Kuhn, a science historian stated that their are no competing models of science, but rather they fit in their own little puzzle, making a much stronger whole than its parts. How's that?
Well in this case, my mind worked like this: You asked about my comment, and I had something pressing at the time at work, so I didn't respond and then forgot about it. Then, when you replied again, I remember you'd asked about it, so I responded.
No. Sheldon said yes to teach him. He even said yes to not be an unreasonable teacher, and then Howard is just a mssive asshole. Fuck him. Fuck him hard up the ass with an asteroid. I don't think he just put those headphones on for the comment about the test being in 8 minutes. It looked like it was planned.
Integrating x^2 e^-x with Feynman's trick: We start with int e^tx dx = 1/t e^tx and differentiate with respect to t. This gives int x e^tx dx = (x/t - 1/t^2) e^tx. Differentiating again gives int x^2 e^tx dx = (x^2/t - 2x/t^2 + 2/t^3) e^tx. Now set t = -1 to get int x^2 e^-x dx = (-x^2 - 2x - 2) e^-x + c. Of course, the usual way is with integration by parts. But they must all be fans of Feynman, being physicists at Caltech...
4:33 in a 5th grade I had a similar situation. One student was arguing with the other at class and one spit in others mouth from arm's length when the other opened his mouth. I've never heard that many obscenities from a kid in front of a teacher in my life 🤣
The thing that baffles me is how Howard knows about the calculus of variation but is fuzzy about the Euler-Lagrange theorem. Isn't he an engineer who makes rockets into space?
Didn't use to be like that. Back in the day, they used actual real life formulas, ongoing researches, theories and developed them as research naturally advanced. Now, it's all Mr and Mrs hofstader, Howard's son, etc etc.
@ Issac Sakata - Actually no, he's not an engineer who "makes rockets into space" as you put it. If I remember correctly, the biggest contribution Howard made was when he designed a space toilet for use on the ISS. He also made a tiny retractable "shelf", which earned a mocking comment from Sheldon. That's about it. Hardly groundbreaking stuff.....except for the toilet which literally broke, forcing the crew to take "an unscheduled space walk". Good god, I miss the episodes before they were ruined by forced "character development".
Don't know if it's been done before, but with all of Sheldons social learning I'd like for him to face a problem such as trying to build something and failing and needing to seek Howards guidance. Could be a good character development.

Physicists are above engineers.
To be totally honest Sheldon's attitude is very indicative of what PHD Physics professor's think about Engineers taking graduate level Physics classes.
Not true
You might have just had an obnoxious professor. But a master engineer would have taken very high level physics courses. Only cutting off at the Quantum part. But many would keep going.
That is most definitely not true.
I may not have been in the workplace long, but even from my somewhat brief tenure, I know that although being the “idea guy” is easy, but they NEVER match reality and it’s the people on the ground that often have to work around such ideas, not with them.
@@courier6960 Being the "idea guy" when the project being worked on is discovering the mathematical and physical underpinnings of the universe is much much harder than being the "idea guy" in other places. Theoretical physicists can't just come up with ideas, they come up with ideas based on observation and have solid math to support their models, and then make testable predictions to invalidate or validate their models. It's the hardest "idea guy" job in the world after being the "idea guy" in mathematics.

And that's not even counting the future benefits it brings, like the ability to reach other planets where we could colonize or obtain resources that are scarce on Earth.
Saying that there is no benefit to going to space would be like saying that there was no benefit in Christopher Columbus voyage that resulted in discovering America.

If you ask me, Sheldon had it coming! No one has the right to make someone else feel like they're less than worthy just because they think they're smarter than you! Keep in mind here that Sheldon was picked on as a kid and for being smart, so there's little to no reason why he should be harassing someone who's not as smart as him but just as qualified to take his class! The whole purpose of a classroom is to take people who are trying to become smarter anyways and give them something to work on! (that's probably not the actual reason but for all intents and purposes, let's say that it is for the sake of argument!)
Dave Orr you don't know how it feels to be a smart kid, do you?
Dat Tran
no, I had bullies picking on me for other reasons! My name, my glasses, my appearance in general! But never for being smart! Don't get me wrong, I am smart, just not THAT smart
You assume Howard is not as smart as Sheldon but on what grounds? Sheldon may appear to be more knowledgeable about physics than Howard, but that doesn't make him smarter; being knowledgeable and being smart are not the same. If someone encounters a problem no one has ever seen, being knowledgeable isn't enough. The truly smart person can solve problems despite never having seen anything like them before; such a person can figure out new things, make new connections, see things from different perspectives, etc.
Sheldon has proven over and over, over the past 9+ years that he is the smartest of them. Then, in decreasing order are Amy, Leonard, Raj, Howard, Bernadette, and like... 100 levels later, Penny.
The only person who was smarter than him, was the north korean kid, who's now too busy getting high with his gf's hippie group.
And, of course, Hawking.
not true, howard show he can build stuff something shendon cant do, howard had a few good idea, that Sheldon thought where impressive, so did leoard, and that guy that talk funny.
so Sheldon I really not any smarter then his friends.
This. This is what the show needs to be about. Not about drama and relationships and trivial things. But about science. And being gigantic dicks to each other. Sheldon is the backbone of this show and that's precisely why he must stay like this, otherwise this is worse than any other generic sitcom these days. That is the big bang theory formula. That is why older seasons are much more watchable and enjoyable than newer seasons. Remember the episode where they built a robot? When are we gonna get a Monte 2.0?
Sergmanny Rolic the whole show has been Sheldons development into a real person.
+Alex Gu
Science is not for everyone, and was never meant to in the first place. Drama on the other hand...
If you do find science to be "boring", then why are you wasting your time on this show? Oh, let me guess. Too busy getting off to the dumb blonde chick with big boobs (Nothing wrong with Penny, but Amy is far more pleasant to watch. At least she has a brain.)
Science may not be for everyone, but how long does a show have to go over one thing? Explain that to me. If you have a disdain for drama, keep that to yourself. Take your own advice of what you gave to me so ....
Alex Gu
One thing? This show has gone through a lot of topics and people. It's not all Einstein and E= Mc2. We had Physics, Chemistry, Engineering (and many of it's variants), Astronomy, Astrophysics, Computer science, Philosophy, Newton, Hawking, Curie... But sure, just keep telling what's only convenient to you, and skip other things that other people are apparently not smart enough to see. You may fool others, but you are not fooling me.
The immense majority of people, like you, consider it boring, while others, like me, consider it fascinating and one of the few things that make life interesting. Where would we be without science? Eating grapes and hunting animals in our underwear with sticks and stones. Now that would be truly boring.
So, do consider to give up on the show when it goes back to it's roots, if it ever does, since you deem the science part of this show "boring" and not worth watching if it's not full of babies, drama, break ups and more cliche things like that. Everyone does the same thing. At least Big Bang tried to be different. And big surprise, it was a major success.
"Little drama". That's basically the core of this show since season 6, and that was their biggest mistake. They no longer focus on science stuff, why don't just turn them into popular man that gets all the pussy and the whole stereotypical nonsense? Just let them all move to Beverly Hills, get wasted, have orgies and participate in American Idol (Thank god that show is finally over, for the record).
Also, Right back at you. If you have a disdain for science, keep it to yourself dipshit. But no, you had to comment just because you didn't like my statement.
You know what? I will follow my own advice. And you should too, unless you really have nothing better to do with your life than bitch over meaningless shit with a stranger on the internet.
P.S: You're welcome.
P.P.S:
And yes, this show is also about watching Sheldon slowly turn from a cold robot into an actual human being. I never had any complaints with that.

I'll admit. If this is the kind of sitcom the show wants to present itself as, I'd actually watch it again. But something tells me this is just a break from the drama and the bullshit.
TBBT has gone downhill since season 4. The drama has continually increased, most of the characters have no real role anymore, more scenes are 2 people not as a group like in early seasons while the comedy overall has decreased.
I'd say that the downfall started since season 6. I do admit that watching Sheldon gradually changing into an actual human being instead of keep being a robot is something. After that, yes it's all downhill.
By the way, you're not wrong. This scene between Sheldon and Howard is just a diamond among a pile of coal (referencing your "this is just a break from the bullshit"). The rest is not worth watching.
I agree. Season 4 was to me a breaking point. When I ended wacthing it, i felt something had changed, something was missing. Just got worst in the 5. Even more Ridiculous further later. But thinking this very carefuly, there was a moment in the 3º season, the show took a path entirely new. I can't say what but I felt. It gone downhill after that.
Watch it until season 4, then stop
The real problem with shows like this is that it's impossible NOT to start adding in some drama, because not doing so just isn't realistic. Without the drama, though, then you just have the same episode over and over, but with new jokes... so, basically, a subpar cartoon where characters age but never change.

"That's not gonna be on test, as I cannot do that again!"

I agree and like amy said that sheldon will always be a genius while Howard's accomplishment is done already.
That is malarkey at its finest of all the 3 Howard's is the only one who has contributed to science that time if you think about it sheldon is just wasting university resources to
Physics and engineering are notably different domains. While engineering relies on theoretical physics we have a completely different "science" that's used to get the theories rolling in practice. That's why we have engineers in the first place
@@moarz__1888 Just because physicists don't work for NASA, go to space, or making robots does not mean they are not contributing to science. A lot of scientists contribute to science by publishing papers. Sheldon wouldn't be able to keep his position if he didn't constantly publish papers in peer-reviewed journals. Especially, that he wasn't tenured in the first few seasons.
Howard is more successful in his field than Sheldon until the finale. Sheldon is just a pretentious and egocentric prick for most of the show

Howard has been through grad school level engineering. He has probably seen the difference between ineffective teachers on an ego trip and true mentors who are trying to get you to help them put cool shit in space. So for post grad, he is prepared for either and has the solutions already formulated for dealing with them.

Wait, wouldn't the correct answer to sheldon's question about the cookies and scientist be Leibniz. He discovered calculus(and published his findings before Newton) independently and has a cookie nambed after him, leibniz biscuits.
+Jeevan Devaranjan he published his finding before newton but newton knew it all before him, in fact the gravity rules by newton were built by the concept of limit (and the famous apple story) imply that newton used calculus to develop the 3 laws of gravity ("acceleration of the apple when it fell was increasing" he measured the position and the distance of the fall, and after that he took the derivative of distance to get speed and the derivative of the speed to get the acceleration). and this idea was developed before finding the gravity laws, but Leibniz is credited for developing the integration rules and he employed integral calculus for the first time to find the area under the graph of a function y = ƒ(x).
+Mohamed AL sudani You are somewhat correct about Newton's notion of the limit. He used a simillar concept to provide a solution to Zeno's Paradox. Now a when it comes to calculating the motion of objects such as projectiles, Newton's ideas are not required(such as the apple). The study of motion, Kinematics, existed before Newton and these equations are used to calculate and predict such phenomena(such equations are taught in high school). One of Newton's contribution to physics was Dynamics. Everybody knew how the apple fell and at what velocity, but nobody knew why? Newton solved the Kepler problem using dynamics as he was able to explain WHY the planets orbited in ellipses and followed Kepler's laws. Kepler already knew how planetary motion worked but didn't know why. This is crucial because in order to find out how things work, you sometimes need to know why(many problems in dynamics are like this). We don't know if Newton knew about calculus before him(I think he did) but in the modern age Newton's methods and notation are rarely used. The concept of the limit(as you know it) did not exist in the time of Newton and Leibniz. They used the ideas of infinitesimals. This posed many philosphical problems(though Abraham Robinson proved that they didn't) and were replaced by limits that were developed by Cauchy and Weirstrauss. Also Leibniz's calculus is more elegant. None of the methods of Newton's calculus is used today(his notation is sometimes used, but not as much as Leibniz's or Lagrange's) and British mathematics lagged behind continental math due to its inferior notation and execution of calculus. This problem was eventually fixed when Leibniz's methods finally entered the country though mathematicians such as Hardy, Babbage and Cayley and caused a new golden age of mathematics in the country. Ever since then nobody has ever looked back, and Lebiniz's notation is the standard. Another benifit of lebiniz's notation is that it can be expanded in to multiple dimensions(such is partial differentiation).
I agree with all what you said, except the part about the apple story, because people were thinking that the apple fall was in the same acceleration from the first point in the fall until it touched the ground, the fact that newton didn't want to accept, and when the concept of limit was released, the principals of calculus were easy to be found after that just like the derivative.... etc. and to top it off, newton used calculus in various ways to discover amazing things, just like his method to find an approximate solution for equation of any power.
+Mohamed AL sudani Oh by no means am I denying the genius of Isaac Newton. Although people portray him as a practical scientist Newton furthered many branches of mathematics with the binomial theorem, newton-raphson method and analytic geometry. And you are correct about the apple part(just made me wonder if Newton could think of the inverse square law with an example where it barely makes a difference) and admit my mistake. The one thing that I don't agree with is the foundations of calculus. Even though Newton and Leibniz had layed out the foundations of calculus, well to be honest they really didn't. They in a sense are responsible for the motiviation and idea of calculus rather than its foundations. When calculus was first discovered it was riddeled with holes. The method Newton and Leibniz used to calculate derrivatives are very different from the ones we use today. Calculus was even attacked by other figures, most notably by Berkley in the Analyst. The foundations of calculus, limits, was layed out by Cauchy and Weirstrauss through the Epsilon Delta definition. Remember the concept of a limit didn't really exist in the time of Newton and Leibniz, and they justified their arguments with infinitesimals(leibniz used the d prefix to denote infinitesimals, thats why a dx trails an integral and a derivative can be written as df/dx).
+Jeevan Devaranjan That's brilliant! Since the question was "which scientist both helped to develop calculus and..." it doesn't matter who discovered it first. And the contribution of Leibniz was, without a doubt, no less important than Newton's.
This was one of the funniest jokes ever "Is this gone be on the test, because I dont think I can do that again". Hahahahahaha!

Not to that extent but I have certainly seen physics teachers belittle engineers, albeit not face to face. There is some truth to it because engineers spend so little time on math and physics that there is no time to truly understand it so there are some pretty baffling gaps in knowledge (this is coming from an engineer). Off course it doesnt make it right. But to be fair, the same thing happens toward economists in engineering circles

don't universities require a certain number of people (or at least more than one person) to sign up in order for it to be recognized as an official class?
+joshfactor1 I was in classes/seminars with just 2-3 other people , one that I took the teacher would allow us to leave the second half because the material was not mandatory for the exam, only one dude would stay so it was a private class for him lol
+joshfactor1 Summer classes as well as online courses can teach via 1-on-1 sessions (sexual puns intended).
+joshfactor1 No, I know a guy who was taking a class on mathematical logic and he was the only student taking the course!
+joshfactor1 It all depends on the level of the class and the type of class that you are teaching.
1. I can easily have an independent study course where a professor and one student work together for course credit
2. Typically graduate classes are small, but I have taken multiple graduate level courses which 3-4 people enrolled.
3. Summer courses can be taught with a limited amount. However, different universities will require you to have X amount of students before you can be paid in full for them. One university I worked for required 9, another required 15. However, I did have a class of 4, and I was prorated the salary, but still was able to teach
4. Some of this is moot point if the administration cannot allow your class to go forward. As long as it's approved by the department and you (As a professor) are SACS accredited, there is a large width in what you can teach. So you can allow yourself an opportunity to teach a wide selection of courses. However, if the class doesn't "make", it doesn't carry forward. Which means that Sheldon would not have a class by the time the semester started, and would have most likely received an e-mail the semester before that his class didn't make and he wouldn't be teaching it in the upcoming semester. Especially if he had an enrollment of zero.
Again, those rules do bend for graduate school, or in Howard's case, an independent study in graduate school.
it depends in the university. some have a note at the time of registration that some classes might require a minimum number of enrollees for the class to go forward.
once upon a time when Big bang theory was funny :)

1:52 ...Integration by parts? Sheldon probably meant \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}, which would require a ~tricky method, such as "Feynman's trick." Had Howard responded that way, it would have made for a nerdier and more deeply satisfying joke. To this end, I find it disappointing that the math/physics rivalry hasn't been milked to a large extent on this show.

I really respect the part at 2:09 where the writers used exceptional academic logic to determine that most theorems, "competing models", and even most types of experiments usually come up with the same outcomes, and thus have exceptional reliability as well as external and internal validity.
Even though most "geniuses" have to make the claim that their model is better than all the others...
In Layman's terms...
I see. Unable to use simple terms to communicate your jibber jabber to the world. Disappointing.
***** In Laymens terms, you can answer many questions through surveys, experiments, field studies, and field experiments, and they will largely come up with the same results. However, since the methodology for some scientists are more important than the question, they reject any theory or method that mostly says the exact same thing that theirs did.
For example: Media Framing and 2ndd level agenda setting largely say the exact same thing: That journalists find interesting themes, within a story, and they have the capacity to largely write similar stories. Both theories confirm this, but they have idiosyncrasies that divide people like the presidential election.
Whereas, Thomas Kuhn, a science historian stated that their are no competing models of science, but rather they fit in their own little puzzle, making a much stronger whole than its parts.
How's that?

Oh, and now you show up, only after I asked in the impolite form. I'll never understand how people's mind work.
Well in this case, my mind worked like this: You asked about my comment, and I had something pressing at the time at work, so I didn't respond and then forgot about it. Then, when you replied again, I remember you'd asked about it, so I responded.
The only two things I wish the show had did before it ended was Howard getting a PhD and Raj finally getting married.
Simon amazes me with his many talents! He can imitate and mimick. His timing is impeccable. He really deserves his own show
4:03 had me in stitches 😂
I've had a professor like this before. The students that passed did so despite him, not because of him
2:31 - best Sheldon's reaction 😂
2:24 sheldon's reaction tho
I would have signed up. I LOVE Sheldons dry humor. He' fits me so well.
Sheldon Cooper to Howard Wolowitz - " HAH" " I KNEW IT" Always hilarious!!!!! LOL 😆🤣😂
Nice shot, Howard.
No. Sheldon said yes to teach him. He even said yes to not be an unreasonable teacher, and then Howard is just a mssive asshole. Fuck him. Fuck him hard up the ass with an asteroid. I don't think he just put those headphones on for the comment about the test being in 8 minutes. It looked like it was planned.
an engineer who doesn't know about the euler lagrange equations...?
+giannisniper96 I was thinking that same. They teach Euler Lagrange Theorem in Pakistan in high school.
+giannisniper96 well in his defense he said he was a bit fuzzy on it so im sure he knows it just doesnt fully understand it
ken knowles he should own it. You can't pass second year of engineering if you don't understand that, at least on my faculty.
oh well i wouldnt know im a freshmen engineering student
He could have lied so Sheldon would go crappy teacher mode
Integrating x^2 e^-x with Feynman's trick:
We start with int e^tx dx = 1/t e^tx and differentiate with respect to t. This gives int x e^tx dx = (x/t - 1/t^2) e^tx. Differentiating again gives int x^2 e^tx dx = (x^2/t - 2x/t^2 + 2/t^3) e^tx. Now set t = -1 to get int x^2 e^-x dx = (-x^2 - 2x - 2) e^-x + c.
Of course, the usual way is with integration by parts. But they must all be fans of Feynman, being physicists at Caltech...
2:24 Howard struggles to keep from laughing too
that moment when you understand what they say FeelsGoodMan
IKR xD
i didn't get it
Mete Başdemir the moment when you feel stupid because you didn't.
4:33 in a 5th grade I had a similar situation. One student was arguing with the other at class and one spit in others mouth from arm's length when the other opened his mouth. I've never heard that many obscenities from a kid in front of a teacher in my life 🤣
I’ve never really super acknowledged Howard as a character but this just changed my mind. I think he is now one of my faves
That spitball scene…😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Howard’s got some bad @$$ accuracy.
The thing that baffles me is how Howard knows about the calculus of variation but is fuzzy about the Euler-Lagrange theorem. Isn't he an engineer who makes rockets into space?
I find that weird too. Always thought there was simplicity in Euler-Lagrange...
The writers don't know the first thing about physics. They just use big words they find in physics textbooks and hopes the audience is none the wiser.
Didn't use to be like that. Back in the day, they used actual real life formulas, ongoing researches, theories and developed them as research naturally advanced. Now, it's all Mr and Mrs hofstader, Howard's son, etc etc.
BryceBryceBaby Wrong! They have an adviser who's physicist (David Saltzberg) ;)
@ Issac Sakata - Actually no, he's not an engineer who "makes rockets into space" as you put it. If I remember correctly, the biggest contribution Howard made was when he designed a space toilet for use on the ISS. He also made a tiny retractable "shelf", which earned a mocking comment from Sheldon. That's about it. Hardly groundbreaking stuff.....except for the toilet which literally broke, forcing the crew to take "an unscheduled space walk". Good god, I miss the episodes before they were ruined by forced "character development".
Don't know if it's been done before, but with all of Sheldons social learning I'd like for him to face a problem such as trying to build something and failing and needing to seek Howards guidance. Could be a good character development.
Ocurre algo asi cuando necesitan construir un robot y Sheldon no sabe siquiera como se abren la caja de herramientas
The Ornithophobia Diffusion -- sheldon asks howard to finish building his death ray.
2:30: 😱You take that back!😠
Howard: No.😏
"Ahhhh.... you take that back!!!"
😂😂😂😂
I do love the throwback to Newton when Sheldon was teaching Penny about what Leonard does and she assumed the same thing.
