He never wanted one after that, until his friends threw him an enjoyable birthday party in " The Celebration Experimentation ". In or , Sheldon's father died due to weight problems.
This creates a continuity error in the episodes " The Thanksgiving Decoupling " S7E9 and " The Proton Transmogrification " S7E22 cause Sheldon mentions to Bernadette's father Mike and to the ghost of Professor Proton , respectively, that his father died when he was When Sheldon graduated from College at 14, he got accepted into Caltech. Though he was planning to move in together with Tam , Tam found a girlfriend and decided to stay in Texas instead. This is why Sheldon hasn't spoken to Tam for a long time.
It's unknown when he moved into the apartment with Sebastian before he drove him out and he met Stuart and the comic book store. Sheldon and Leonard need to get a Fractional T1 Bandwidth Connection, they decide to finance it by going to a sperm bank; however, they change their minds because Sheldon thinks that they are committing genetic fraud Pilot Episode.
Back at their apartment, they meet their new neighbor, Penny and try to get her stuff from her ex boyfriend, Kurt. He meets Amy in the final episode and the two are forced to have a drink together after an attempt by Raj and Howard to get Sheldon a date.
Sheldon eventually gives up on his research on String Theory and starts to pursue a different field. Sheldon gets more serious in his relationship with Amy, even admitting that he loves her " The Prom Equivalency " , and secretly revealing a family engagement ring " The Commitment Determination ". Sheldon also creates a new scientific theory with Leonard and begins his studies on Dark matter. Amy withdraws from Sheldon. Sheldon pushes Amy to make up her mind about their relationship, but goes too far and insults her to her face, causing her to break-up with him and causing everyone except Howard and Stuart to leave the room " The Matrimonial Momentum ".
Sheldon and Amy reconcile in " The Earworm Reverberation " and in the next episode " The Opening Night Excitation ", Sheldon has coitus with her as his birthday present to her. After Amy's apartment is flooded in " The Cohabitation Experimentation ", she and Sheldon move into Penny's apartment, an arrangement that becomes permanent in " The Veracity Elasticity ".
In the season finale, Sheldon travels to New Jersey to see Amy and pops the question. In " The Proposal Proposal ", Amy says yes and Shamy becomes engaged as they start to plan their wedding. Sheldon and Amy continue to work on their Super-Asymmetry Theory together.
At the end of the series, Sheldon and Amy are awarded the Nobel Prize for their theory which they once mistook for false but realized was true. The last scene of the series is them eating with their friends. The "Hot Beverage of Comfort" would become my go-to method of dealing with someone in emotional distress.
And it always worked. Except when my wife was in labor, where it was suggested I throw it in my own face. Sheldon Cooper is a former senior theoretical particle physicist at the California Institute of Technology , focusing on string theory and its alter ego M-theory.
He held this position for three-and-a-half years at the outset of the show and up until the eighth season. As he was being paid under a grant to specifically research string theory, he is then promoted to junior professor in order to change his field of study to dark matter , with the stipulation that he'd teach a graduate-level class on analytical mechanics.
He returns to string theory research in the eleventh season. His doodle of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface was the basis of his postdoctoral fellowship. He believes string theory better unites quantum mechanics with general relativity than does loop quantum gravity. He neither gives credence to the notion that quantized space-time will manifest itself as minute differences in the speed of light for different colors as he expects matter consists of tiny strings nor that only loop quantum gravity calculates the entropy of black holes.
Nonetheless, he is solely responsible for the university's six-loop quantum gravity calculations. Sheldon's work on string theory is concentrated in several different directions. Notably, Sheldon has refocused his research from bosonic string theory to heterotic string theory. He wrote a paper on the decays of highly excited massive string states and illustrated mirror symmetry in the footnote of a publication. He determined that three-dimensional string-nets provided a unified picture of fermions and gauge bosons and reconciled the black hole information paradox with his theory of string-network condensates following a breakthrough in showing how neutrinos emerge from a string-net condensate.
He also designated time for solving the space-time geometry in higher spin gravity and worked on time-dependent backgrounds in string theory, specifically quantum field theory in D-dimensional de Sitter space. Moreover, Dr. Cooper's research spans particle physics in particle cosmology and studies the interplay between particle physics and cosmology during the Physical cosmology of the Universe.
With Rajesh Koothrappali , he explored the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, Theories of Supersymmetry breaking, string theory implications of Gamma rays from weakly interacting massive particles as dark matter annihilations, and considered Dark matter detection methods of optimizing a particle detector for giga-Gelectronvolt Weakly interacting massive particles to this end. At a San Francisco conference, he tried to initiate a collaboration with Nobel Prize-winning physicist George Smoot by presenting him his paper on astrophysical probes of M-theory effects in the Chronology of the early universe.
The famous physicist Stephen Hawking reached out to him during a lecture stay at Caltech after Sheldon's brilliant mind was revealed in a reading of his fascinating, though wrong, paper positing that the Higgs boson is a black hole Entropy accelerating backwards through time. Sheldon also maintained a correspondence with cosmological physicist Elizabeth Plimpton for years about their mutual interest in effects of a passing gravitational wave signatures of inflations in the Chronology of the early universe.
When Caltech received a new open science grid computer, he attempted to schedule a time to run computer simulations of structure formation in the early universe. He was thinking about how one could use the fact that a rapidly rotating mirror turns virtual photons into real ones as a method of observing dark energy.
However, he no longer preoccupies his time with investigating why the Zero-point energy and predicted mass of the quantum vacuum has little effect on the metric expansion of space. Sheldon has redirected his work to the nature of dark matter. In addition to studying the Weakly interacting massive particles as dark matter, a particle physics point of view, he also considered the scalar field dark matter, an observable large-scale structure of a geometric point of view. This led him to attempt a full mathematical proof of the Riemanni Penrose Conjecture.
Bridging theory and experiment, Sheldon is active in the field of particle physics phenomenology at high-energy colliders such as the LHC. Sheldon came close to figuring out why the Large Hadron Collider had yet to isolate the Higgs boson particle. Though, he was refused clearance for a very prestigious government research fellowship at a secret military supercollider , located beneath a fake agricultural station In a similar capacity, Sheldon has made advances in theoretical plasma physics, studying turbulence and Turbulent diffusion, and how it might be reduced to improve fusion reactor designs.
Consequently, Sheldon worked with colleague Barry Kripke on the Grant proposal for a new fusion reactor, as the university was only allowed to submit one proposal. From nuclear physics, he was thought to have discovered a method for synthetic element. Despite the fact that a Chinese research team at the Hubei Institute for Nuclear Physics ran a test on a cyclotron with extremely promising results and reportedly found the element, his calculations were wrong; the table from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics , in which he looked up the nuclear reaction rate rates of chemical elements such as mendelevium, was in units of square centimeters cm 2 , which he misread as square meters m 2 , meaning he was off by a factor of 10, Sheldon surmised there must be some atomic particle and molecular resonance between the elements he did not consider.
In fact, someone from the Chinese research team added simulated signals to the data files, as Leonard Hofstadter re-ran the tests in his lab and disproved Sheldon's theory. Sheldon additionally engages in condensed matter physics research on occasion and has lectured on topological insulators, as well as given a seminar on thermodynamic fluctuations.
He discovered that electrons traveling through a graphene sheet on hexagonal pathways possess zero effective mass since they coincidentally exhibit the same dispersion pattern as Dirac fermions and must be considered as a Fermionic field wave.
In addition, he had a minor epiphany regarding the polymer degradation phenomenon. From a philosophical perspective, Sheldon has grappled with Gedankenexperiments i. He produced four out of the five Gedankenexperiments he thought necessary for a cogent restatement of the quantum measurement problem, before the information was lost. For his contributions to theoretical physics , he won a Caltech Chancellor's Award for Science. In the experiment, he detected what he believed was a significant magnetic monopolar magnetic charge, validating string theory, one of the chief predictions of superstring theory.
Though Sheldon publicly announced he had confirmed string theory and would receive a Nobel Prize, he learned that the charge detected was actually static electricity from the others' electric can opener, forcing Sheldon to issue a retraction to his announcement and severely damaging his reputation at the university.
Soon after, National Public Radio with Ira Flatow from Science Friday interviewed him by phone from his office , regarding the recent so-called discovery of spin ice and magnetic monopoles in spin ice. Based on his supposed discovery of a new stable superheavy element which was actually a blunder , Sheldon appeared on Science Friday twice wherein a possible Nobel Prize in Chemistry was mentioned, had an article written about him in Physics Today and the National Science Foundation NSF wanted to give him a substantial grant.
Based upon a theory from Leonard, Sheldon wrote a paper detailing a theory that space-time is like a super-fluid. The paper was well received by the scientific community that included Professor Stephen Hawking. In " The Anxiety Optimization ", Sheldon is trying to increase his working efficiency by keeping a high anxiety level while driving everybody crazy. The only good point is that he wants his friends to annoy him. Extremely tired, both Penny and Leonard put him to bed singing " Soft Kitty ".
Leonard gets an idea to compare the universe to the surface of an Nth dimension sphere which he describes to Sheldon who finds the theory interesting. He works out he math. Together they are praised, lecture on their discovery and get an award.
Howard comes up with the idea to turn it into a working guidance system which is patented and Howard builds a working prototype by the end of season 9. In the 11th and 12th seasons, Sheldon and Amy work together on a Super-Asymmetry for string theory which is published and widely applauded. After a couple of Fermi-Lab scientists accidentally prove their theory, all of the are in competition for a possible Nobel Prize.
Sheldon locates an emergency VHS tape made by him when he was eleven for, according to him, the day they stopped making Star Wars movies. His character from Young Sheldon tires to give him a pep talk but it was recorded over by his father with one of his football games.
Amy keeps watching it and then finds his father's halftime pep talk which does help Sheldon. His father tells the team that they're not going to win this game, but that that does not make them losers. They can learn from failure as much as they can learn from success. Sheldon is encouraged and even thanks his dead father in the end.
At the ceremony, Sheldon puts aside his self-centered speech and realizes that his achievement isn't just his but also his family and friends who encouraged him and tolerated him. Sheldon introduces his friends to the world and tells them how much he loves them even calling him his other family in the last moments of the show. Aside from his characteristic idiosyncrasies, unpragmatic obsessions and extreme narcissism, Sheldon doesn't understand why humans are illogical and attempts to be logical himself.
Even though, in reality, he's actually significantly more illogical than most people in so many ways i. He possesses an eidetic memory and an IQ of , though he claims his IQ cannot be accurately measured by normal tests further ascertaining his egotism. Sheldon has a generally excessively extensive knowledge of most philosophical principles of certain topics of interest, such as shown by his comments regarding various details of anecdotal knowledge for instance, about the introduction of the fork into Thailand.
He can remember everything he's exposed to. He told Raj that he automatically sees prime numbers as red and that twin primes appear pink and smell like gasoline. These are characteristics of people with synesthesia.
Sheldon also has qualities associated with being a prodigy, such as an inflated ego, social ineptitude, and an inability to relate emotionally with other people. Despite his intelligence, he has a distinct lack of emotional maturity and is often baffled by even the most common social interactions. He not only fails to understand the simplest sarcastic jokes made by his friends but also regards their sadness over problems with blatant confusion.
Eventually he has begun to understand the concept of sarcasm, attempting unsuccessfully to employ it himself towards Penny in the second season, and successfully employing it towards his other friends in the third season. He appears to have a complete disinterest in romantic relationships, and his eccentricities, direct remarks and demanding nature put him at odds with his own friends and especially Penny. For a few years he also showed a disinterest in being romantic with Amy.
Up til " The Empathy Optimization ", Sheldon never seemed to have any sense of remorse or guilt. Perfect examples of this include when he ratted out Leonard, Raj and Howard for sexual behavior to Human Resources just cause he thought he did nothing wrong when, in reality, he talked to his assistant about sexually transmitted diseases and when he puts down Amy by not treating her accomplishments like they were a big deal. Sheldon's extremely arrogant, narcissistic, selfish, and utterly self-righteous.
According to Sheldon's Meemaw , it's strongly implied that Sheldon takes after his grandfather, Pop-pop , who was known for being "a stubborn, egotistical man". When he doesn't get the Ring, he constantly tries to retrieve it, to the point of invading his own friends' privacy and boundaries and effectively stealing it off them e. This particular example shows that his great love for a fictional movie or rights cause him to be extremely obsessed with things that don't really matter in the context of the real world.
In conclusion, it can be axiomatically ascertained that Sheldon will try to achieve, retrieve or maintain anything if it meant that he would seem fictionally or genuinely superior to "everyone" else. Sheldon adheres to The Roommate Agreement constantly when things don't go his way and interestingly, Sheldon's styled the roommate agreement so that everything goes his way. Sheldon Also officiates in said agreement that he settles all ties, increasing the likelihood that he gets what he wants.
That being said, when a clause of the Roommate Agreement applies to him to not do something, he will treat it like it's ridiculous - in the process, hypocritically violating the agreement despite constantly chiding Leonard when he apparently violates it. At one point, when Leonard headed a project for the group, Sheldon labelled him as simply the founder, while he was chief or head of absolutely everything else, making him in charge.
He also tried to make the project named after himself, even trying to get by naming the project with his name spelt backwards. Sheldon is revealed by Priya to have repeatedly violated the roommate agreement, and the several demonstrations of this cause deep discomfort and even despair in Sheldon, who becomes vengeful and deliberately damages Leonard and Priya 's relationship through blackmail afterwards.
Sheldon does not see fault in absolutely anything he does in his life, to such an extent that he doesn't think that, when he commits a serious crime, he is doing anything wrong. He, at one point, insulted a judge while in court, simply because of his belief that his job and status was superior to the judge's, which landed him in jail for his trouble.
Sheldon also stalked President Siebert just to get a simple answer out of him, to the point of following him to his home and then calling him anonymously. Sheldon is willing to steal to get what he wants, and bully anybody to do so as well. A prime example is when he deliberately puts all of Penny's clothes on the telephone wires without acknowledging, or even probably noticing, that this was outright bullying of somebody without any moral reasons other than self-righteousness and phenomenal delusions of authority on his part.
When he finds out he's wrong, he just replies, "Oh! He sees it as his absolute right to interfere with something that does not involve him, and alter it so that it benefits or pleases him, shown at one point when he interfered with Leonard's dating another woman despite it not concerning him at all. Another example is when Penny, after an argument with Leonard which upsets Sheldon, says that "this really isn't about you", his only strained response - after a very long pause - is "I don't follow", showing that he doesn't understand why he cannot be priority one in situations that don't even involve him.
Sheldon also doesn't realize at all that he's an immense burden to everyone around him due to his controlling, condescending, and demoralizing behavior - he rather sees himself as a true privilege to his friends simply out of egomania. Sheldon is openly pompous and condescending towards people like Howard, treating him like a simpleton - to say the least - constantly.
His incredible sense of pomposity is so widespread that he immediately places himself in a position of absolute power, credit, benefit, or authority in whatever project, ambition, or situation which is discussed within earshot of him. He will also meet every single opposition to his authority with immense melodrama - he describes Leonard's control of one notable project as 'Leonard's reign of tyranny', despite being a dictator himself.
He's also completely taken off guard when he is excluded from the project, because he's absolutely incapable of seeing anything he's done as a bad thing. He does not do any amount of personal labor if he could avoid it, shown by how he is seen with Howard and Raj both carrying huge workloads of Christmas presents, whilst he is only carrying a small cylindrical present in one hand and eating an ice cream cone with the other.
He appears completely indifferent, if not apathetic, to the fact that they are on the edge of collapsing from exhaustion and could be crushed under the weight. Another supreme example is when he realizes that Amy is going to work at the same university as he is, and says " You can't work where I work ", thinking that he has complete jurisdiction over where she works.
Another key example of Sheldon's selfishness is when he's ill. Sheldon demands that everyone else take care of him, even if they're occupied with other tasks or could be hurt or ill themselves due to never having been ill alone before. He also believes that being ill entitles him to be rude to others as shown during " The Empathy Optimization ", Sheldon was completely ungrateful and insulting to his friends and did not realize this until Leonard made him remember.
Though not confirmed, Sheldon appears to have extreme megalomaniacal tendencies - when he was a child, the kind of pet he wanted would be one that was capable of killing at telepathic command. He also, at several points in his childhood, tried to build devices and technologies that would enable him to kill or avenge himself on people who had done him wrong.
At several points in his life, he fantasizes about "rising to power", gaining a planet that he can rule with an iron fist, even declaring that he will, one day, have a robot army at his disposal. In addition to this, Sheldon constantly brags that he will, one day, gain a Nobel Prize and suggests to several people that their contributions to his life will earn them a mention in his memoirs entitled "You're welcome, mankind". He also sees himself as a world-renowned physicist with an unparalleled understanding of the universe and that he's on the precipice of advancing mankind's understanding of the universe, ignoring the fact that there are some aspects of even science that he has some lack of understanding of, and he is notoriously able to make scientific mistakes - he was rendered absolutely speechless by an equation in a physics bowl which he didn't know the answer to, and was so angry that he couldn't figure it out that he denied the correct answer when it was provided.
What this means generally is that he believes that mankind owes him big time, and has done so his entire life. Sheldon's opinion of his own profession is overly heavily ego-oriented, to the point where, if he sees any occupation of someone else's that's unrelated to his, he tacitly and implicitly admonishes them and boasts about his own.
This is exemplified by his extremely low opinions of Howard's profession as an engineer he constantly scorns Howard's intellect based on him not having a Ph. However, despite scorning engineering as unimportant, he is shown to be somewhat extremely knowledgeable in the subject himself in terms of general knowledge certainly not field work and therefore only condescends the subject because he finds the information and premise "inferior" to that of physics.
Sheldon has remarked that it is his dream to be an astronaut, and that he was secretly stunned at Howard being chosen to go into space, stating in his own words that it showed him "they'd just send 'anyone' up there". Sheldon's expression of his more advanced intelligence has gotten him fired from his job, and even Leonard is surprised to learn that Sheldon is conceited enough to believe that Isaac Newton is intellectually inferior to himself.
Sheldon hates it when someone stops him when he is trying to explain something. If he is, a violent tic starts on his face until he can complete what he wants to say, as in " The Friendship Algorithm " when he is prevented from explaining why tapioca pudding is a "jiggling bowl of potential death".
He cannot and will not drive, and thus someone must always drive him unless in an extreme circumstance like when he drives Penny to the emergency room in " The Adhesive Duck Deficiency ".
Sheldon has done some questionable things, such as when he discovered that Penny's apartment was messy, he sneaks in during the night and cleans it up because he can't stand being in the same hallway with something so disastrous.
He refuses to sit anywhere other than his designated spot on the couch and follow set routines, and the running gag of the show is that when he knocks on Penny's door , he has to say Penny's name every three knocks he does this thrice every time.
It was never specified why Sheldon does those things by the series creator. Sheldon occasionally uses slang in a very unnatural fashion , and follows jokes with his catchphrase " Bazinga! Despite his ego-centrism, Sheldon appears to be somewhat aware of his social ineptitude, particularly his lack of understanding of sarcasm.
He mentioned that he keeps a record of his daily conversations after Penny snapped at him and Leonard asked him why, to which he suggested that Leonard check his conversation records "to see if I messed up anywhere. In " The Toast Derivation ", Sheldon was revealed to have criticized Bill Gates for focusing on his charity work rather than Windows Vista, a remark that earned him a punch in the face. Sheldon also possesses some understanding of other religions such as Hinduism and corrects Rajesh when he says cows are gods, when they are actually like gods and was also knowledgeable about other Hindu beliefs however despite being raised in an extremely religious household, Sheldon possesses no faith in Christianity and even after moving back to Texas and planned to teach the religious types evolution and only moving back when his mother calls evolution opinion.
Sheldon deems karma as "nonsense" and was left baffled when Rajesh compared it to Newtonian. Sheldon is extremely germaphobic and is very extreme in his methods to avoid catching an illness such as sterilizing his mouth with whiskey after sipping from Leonard's glass.
Sheldon does his best to avoid any human contact; however as the series continues he became more if not a very slightly affectionate person such as hugging Leonard after he returned from Professor Proton's funeral and kissing Amy on board a locomotive. He does not mind Amy touching as their relationship progresses. Sheldon does show, on rare occasions, interest in relationships, which was most prominently seen with Amy Farrah Fowler ; however, he does not express it directly, instead of developing strange behavior patterns such as buying cats or refusing to open discussion to the matter.
Despite this, however, Sheldon remains completely clueless to sexual innuendos which were present during his and Amy's anniversary and she became intoxicated which causes her to unbutton her blouse and asks that they skip to dessert for Sheldon to reply "I just had cobbler.
When Raj, Leonard, Howard, and Sheldon were competing over The One Ring and Penny appears with "a bag from Victoria's Secret", Sheldon and the rest all look at Leonard, he either understood what Penny meant or was looking cause everyone else was.
Eventually, he does have coitus with Amy but it's only cause that's what she'd want for her birthday. Afterwards he admits that he enjoyed more than he thought he would. Because of his eccentric and arrogant behavior, Sheldon isn't well-liked by many people. Due to his belief that he's intellectually "superior", he's not ashamed to insult his own friends, like Leonard , whose work Sheldon deems derivative and who never appreciated his overbearing mother ; Howard, who's merely an engineer and not a real scientist, and also doesn't possess a doctorate despite the fact that engineering has more practical real-world applications, as well as more related jobs, than theoretical physics does, a fact that Sheldon doesn't take into account ; and Penny, who Sheldon considers and in some ways, is the polar opposite of an intellectual.
He often mocks her for having once dropped out of a community college. In " The Thespian Catalyst ", Sheldon makes a speech to a class of bored and disinterested grad students, reminding them that they will never be as smart as he is.
Teaching is something else that Sheldon fails at having no social skills. Sheldon's obsession with routine constantly causes friction with him and his friends. In " The Dumpling Paradox ", he has an issue with Penny sleeping on the couch, because he wants to watch Doctor Who and Penny is sleeping in his spot. Leonard offers some alternatives, but Sheldon refuses to accept them, because they're not part of his routine.
In the same episode, he states that he, Leonard, and Raj can't order Chinese food without Howard. Sheldon's routine is even written for everyone to view, except for to in the afternoons, where he spends some recreational time in a storage room in the Caltech basement. Even his recreational time is planned and he spends it doing the same thing—playing keepie uppie with a hacky sack.
Sheldon's also been shown to have issues with closure. An example of this is when he has a near meltdown when he learned that one of his favorite sci-fi shows, Alphas , had been cancelled after a cliffhanger. Amy tries to break him out of it using several exercises.
Sheldon seems to overcome his closure issues, but after Amy leaves, he finishes all the exercises. Also, due to his lack of emotion and his inability to understand sarcasm, Sheldon never seems to realize when he's in trouble. When other people get mad at him, he blames them their inability to "properly" understand the situation or the fact that they can't control their emotions. Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

His winning streak continued over the next few years, with him taking home three more Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in , and The popularity of his quirky character led to the creation of the spinoff Young Sheldon in , with Iain Armitage starring as the nine-year-old version of Sheldon in high school, and Parsons involved as the show's narrator.
In August it was announced that The Big Bang Theory would sign off the following May, after airing its 12th season finale.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the show was ending largely due to the wishes of Parsons, who was looking to move on from playing Sheldon Cooper. The Big Bang Theory wrapped its long run with episode No. During production breaks on his hit sitcom, Parsons pursued other creative opportunities.
He surfaced as the human version of the puppet Walter in The Muppets , and in he appeared in Zach Braff's dramatic comedy Wish I Was Here and lent his voice to the lovable alien Oh in the animated movie Home. Following his role in the dark thriller Visions , Parsons was among the cast of the Oscar-nominated biopic Hidden Figures He then co-starred with Claire Danes in the indie drama A Kid Like Jake , as a parent adapting to having a transgender child.
The following year he delivered a well-received turn in the Netflix miniseries Hollywood as Henry Willson, an agent with mafia ties who helped launch the screen careers of closeted gay stars like Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter.
A gay man, Parsons found working on the play to be especially appealing. In he joined another celebrated Broadway production with the role of Michael in The Boys in the Band , a revival of the groundbreaking play about the lives of gay men.
In April it was announced that Parsons and the rest of the Broadway cast would join a Netflix adaptation of the play. Show Caption. Hide Caption. The couple have been together for 14 years. View this post on Instagram.
