Okay, maybe Sheldon can be forgiven for getting schooled at science by the worlds smartest man.. When Sheldon is given a chance to meet one of his heroes, he presents Stephen Hawking with one of his thesises hoping to impress the professor. Stephen Hawking points out that Sheldon made an arithmetical mistake on page two and called it "quite the boner". Is it too harsh to criticise Sheldon for his mistake? It takes a genius of the very highest order to match scientific theories with Hawking, but at the very least Sheldon could have taken the time to proofread the paper before handing it over to one of the few people on the planet he actually respects.
