The Big Bang Theory - Who is smarter: Howard or Sheldon? S08E02 [HD]

Strength of Matetials is not always measured in Young's Modulus. It depends on which strength are we talking about. It can Tensile/Compressional strength, Torsional stength, Bending Strength, Thermal strength etc. For a high school teenager, it was a good question but not for physicist-Engineer debate.
.
& Flow of water through pipe is again not as simple as given in basic standards. We need to first find out whether its a Laminar or Turbulent flow and only then we can apply any concepts.
.
Eddy current was a basic one. But there are chances that some Electrical engineer may find some inaccuracies in that answer too.

Sheldon maybe have high iq but howard have eq higher thsn everyone in group. practical knowledge.

The real test would have been in having Sheldon apply his knowledge to Howard’s devices, no? I remember a college mate telling me that Engineering is straight forward until you have to engineer what you put on paper.

Either Sheldon is Autistic or he is the world's biggest ass hole, maybe in human history.

All 3 of them are 12th grade physics

Thanks

9 yrs later,I'd say: put howard in china, he's average
get sheldon to china,he's still a genius

Why did he ask Sheldon physics and mechanics questions? Thats not the most difficult engineering questions. Ask him about how to set up a robotic system and make it move without googling

The covert satanists in alcoholics anonymous are desperately trying to prove they are smarter than me. This is why Jep keeps asking me "do you know what this means"? His goal is to prove to everyone that he is the alpha in the room.

Last scene was so wholesome, they celebrating each other

so do they all get the cadbery cream egg or...?

Natural flavor means an human flavor. Get it yet?

Knowing what we know about Howard, I can well understand Sheldon’s paranoia over catching an STD from that spitball.

The black shirt 😂

I’m an engineer and that was wayyyy to piss easy.

You need to go into molecular thermocfluids and that’s all it takes

Howard, he can drive a car.

I'm not even an Engineering Major (CS), but those questions were pretty damn easy even for me. These were supposed to stump Sheldon?

Sheldon was impressed when Howard became an astronaut. At least that’s one cool thing Sheldon can’t say he ever did.

Smart isn't about what you know, it's about what you do with what you know.

Howard should've asked him how to use a tool box!🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣

Showard and Heldon.....

Both the first and the second questions were fairly easy for a physicist. Poorly written to be fair.

I never understood the trope of the Hollywood Nerd. One can be very smart while also working out and looking well.
It was the case for me as a teenager, and I inspired many others to do the same. What I don't get is why people are so lazy and afraid of success.

That like asking whats better the original or the sequel star wars movies

Started out as a fight, but then would end up with them just having fun. Fight forgotten.

First of all, questions asked by Howard were very fundamental. Something we studied in 8th grade. He is an aerospace engineer, and he was asking about transformers. i am sure none of the physics would be able to answer an electrical engineer with just bachelors.

Should've asked sheldon, how do you fight 12 angry bullies who are morally justified in kicking your annoying sorry ass?

Is Sheldon part cat?

12th level physics questions

Young's modulus is literally a high school topic, Howard is supposed to have a Master's degree in engineering. Shit writing.

Those questions are soo high school level

Flow rate and diameter and Eddy current theory questions are taught in undergrad physics 😂😂

Howard was roasting Sheldon! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i miss Big Bang Theory

A high schooler from India can answer all the questions asked by Howard regarding Engineering😅

The great time for a nerd, is senior year in high school.
When they get great scholarships , or accepted to top ten university, while the idiot bullies face a future at Burger King..
I had many friends in the nerd group.
One of them is now a leader in optics technology.. He lectures , leads a think tank . Another is a dean of nursing for a leading nursing school.
Strange, I had brilliant friends, and didn't really know it lol. they were just sweet funny kids I hung out with..
I am the oddball of the group... sing for a living

An astrophysicist should know about Young's Modulus!
(Constructive criticism)

Young's Modulus describes the elastic response of a material assuming it has linear elastic behaviour. Strength iis the maximum stress in can take. This does not correspond even to its maximum elongation at break and in most cases is within a non-linear plastic region. The question becomes more interesting when we consider strain rate effects (viscoelasticity). Not to mention anisotropy and heterogeneity. So, Sheldon and Howard are so wrong that it makes me want to examine every "science" statement they made!!

I've always wondered how Alex (from Modern Family) would have felt among this group

Laminating doesn't prevent Eddie currents lol

Funnily enough, Young's Modulus does NOT say a lot about the strength of a material

“How does a flow rate of a pipe depend on its diameter?”

I might not know the law Howard cited here, but wow, seeing Sheldon just as stumped as I was here was so delicious. Especially after what he pulled in the class.

He would of known to just ask him questions about relationships with women

I love me a rhombicisododecahedron

He didn't mention the critical point that the transformer laminations must be perpendicular to the eddy current flow lines, not parallel them.

Why were the questions howard asked so basic? Flow rate in a pipe and Young's modulus are basic concepts covered in even the worst freshman level physics course. And the lamination of core material is the kind of factoid that requires no understand or interest in the underlying subject matter, just merely having come across it.

If Howard wanted to out Sheldon in the spot to test his engineering skills he shouldn’t have asked questions, but make him built something just as he does

The funniest part from this episode is that no lesson was learned here

Sheldon has a higher IQ but that doesn't make him smarter. Sheldon works in theoretically physics while Howard is an engineer. It is impossible to know if Howard is as smart as Sheldon since he didnt have the schooling that Sheldon had. He never took theoretical physics.
