Big Bang Theory Quote
Sheldon: This is the very copy of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics in which I looked up the reaction rates of mendelevium and...
Amy: And what?
Sheldon: No. No, no, no, no.
Amy: What's wrong?
Sheldon: I've made a horrible mistake.
Amy: What are you talking about?
Sheldon: This table. It's in square centimeters. I read it as square meters. Do you know what that means?
Amy: That Americans can't handle the metric system?
Sheldon: Amy, I was off by a factor of ten thousand.
Amy: But the Chinese team found the element.
Sheldon: Well, they shouldn't have, my calculations were wrong. There must be some resonance between the elements I didn't know about.
Amy: So, you just got lucky?.
Sheldon: Sheldon Cooper does not get lucky!
Amy: (mutters) You and me both, brother.
(aloud)
Amy: It doesn't matter. The element was found because of you and that's ground breaking.
Sheldon: What matters is the greatest scientific achievement of my life is based on a blunder. I'm not a genius. I'm a fraud.
