Title Reference: Sheldon's attempt at solving his problem by working in a menial job, comparing it to Albert Einstein's discoveries while working at the Swiss patent office.

For those not even remotely versed in science, this episode makes perfect sense. This shows an incongruous understanding of the main subject matter by both Sheldon's peers, including Bernadette, and the writers of the show.

As a physicist with a doctorate, Sheldon should not be trying to figure out that electrons move as not only matter but also waves for an entire episode as this simple concept is learned in high school level physics or chemistry.

The writers should get a lot of credit for the effort they put into their plots.Yet another fun episode exploring a clever comic creation and his interaction with the world.' - The TV Critic's Review He uses food, he uses marbles, he uses a ball pit, he uses a white board. Instead of saying he has tried everything to find the answer, Sheldon really does try everything. 'Like Sheldon, the writers focus pretty simple-mindedly on one plot and for someone like me who appreciates logic the results are good.

Story: Lee Aronsohn, Dave Goetsch & Steve Holland.

Teleplay: Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro & Eric Kaplan.

Melissa Rauch as Bernadette Rostenkowski.

Later on, after taking Leonard, Howard and Raj's orders, Sheldon accidentally drops a pile of plates, but realizes that he's been looking at his problem all wrong and that the electrons move through the graphene in waves, and rushes off to solve his problem, leaving Penny to take care of his mess.Įventually, Raj pressures Howard to go disco roller-skating with him, much to Raj's joy and Howard's annoyance. Although he is never hired, the restaurant appears happy to let him continue with his work (presumably as he is not asking for pay).

Sheldon quickly realizes that being a waiter is more menial than being a busboy, and quickly trades positions, excelling at waiting. Sheldon is eventually removed from the center by security, and decides to work as a busboy without pay with Penny and Bernadette at the Cheesecake Factory. The next day, Sheldon goes to a job center and tries to apply for several menial jobs, but quickly angers the clerk he talks to. Sheldon keeps popping up and shouting ' Bazinga!', which only further frustrates and angers Leonard.Ī few hours afterwards, Leonard and Penny are asleep again, but Sheldon wakes them up and tells them that his solution to his math problem is working in a menial job, much like how Albert Einstein did when he was working at the Patent Office in Switzerland and discovered special relativity. When Leonard tells Sheldon that they have to go home, Sheldon immediately hides under the balls, leading to Leonard chasing him through the ball pit with difficulty. When Leonard arrives at the mall, he finds Sheldon in a ball pit building carbon atoms out of plastic balls. In the middle of the night, Leonard and Penny are awakened to a phone call from a security guard at a local shopping mall. Bernadette realizes that Sheldon is overtired, and makes him go to bed by verbally intimidating him, and reminding him that a lack of REM sleep leads to impaired cognitive function. Both Leonard and Penny slip on the marbles falling on their butts. When Leonard, Howard, Penny and Bernadette return to the apartment after roller skating, they find Sheldon sitting on a stool with hundreds of marbles all over the floor, still stuck in the problem. Raj declines to come and makes a bitter remark to Leonard and Howard. To Raj's disappointment, Leonard and Howard immediately decide to bring Bernadette and Penny to make it a double-date. Raj tells Leonard and Howard about Disco Night at the Moonlight Roller Rink in Glendale and asks if they want to come. That day, at the cafeteria during lunch, Sheldon tries to build a physical diagram of his problem by using Raj's Lima-beans and Leonard's peas, but to no avail as Raj soon takes a large handful of his Lima beans back. Sheldon tries other methods of trying to understand, but eventually takes Leonard's advice of starting fresh by wastefully throwing the whiteboard out the window and consequently causing a car crash. Penny and Leonard walk out, and Sheldon reveals that he's been up all night working on his problem.

Sheldon trying to engage his superior-colliculus by quickly whipping his head back and forth at a whiteboard full of equations to create a fleeting peripheral image. Sheldon's search for the answer to a physics problem (Why electrons behave as if they have no mass when traveling through a graphene sheet) keeps him awake for several days and he becomes obsessed with trying to solve it acting crazier than normal.
