Sheldon's smarts

A few ponderings. Feel free to answer any or all.
1.Is the reason that Sheldon has so much trouble these days solving physics problems because the writers are trying to show us chinks in his genius armor or because they are unsolvable and physics really is a bunch of dead ends these days?
2.Does it bother you when the writers show Sheldon making mistakes (like "finding" a new element and then realizing it was a mathematical error) or not being able to solve equations repeatedly in the past 2 seasons? Wasn't he supposed to be our Nobel-bound genius?
3.Is Sheldon just good at reproducing what others have already discovered and spitting it out due to good memory skills, but unable to come up with anything new on his own?
4.Would it thrill you at this point if he does win a Nobel prize before the series finale? Would that make the show seem too unrealistic?

That's the main reason I do not watch it live (although I did watch the season opener), Sheldon's behavior makes me angry, and I can't see watching a show that makes me angry. I watch the reruns on a local channel and mute it when Sheldon is the focus.

Wrong. The element was STILL discovered , and his research partially responsible. His mistake was using the wrong reaction rates because he used the wrong units in calculation.
How could the discovery of an element be a "failure" in any way shape or form? Did you actually watch the episode?

I don't think you actually watched the episode which doesn't surprise me. Nothing turned out "false" , he simply used the wrong calculations and got lucky.

His mistake still led to an element being discovered. Hard to call that a failure.
The point of that episode wasn't that he screwed up, it's that he can't accept luck as a reason for success because he thinks luck is beneath him.
Amy even confirmed the Chinese team found the element, and unsuccessfully tried to console him since Biologists experience accidental discoveries all the time. Sheldon of course rebukes any comparisons to Biologists.

You guys all missed at least one episode. His "discovery" was disproven even by Leonard. The Chinese were faking it.
Season 7 Episode 10 – The Discovery Dissipation
I know how much it will pain you to admit it, but I am right.

I didn't see that episode. You got this one Knixon!

You're too kind.
I don't think Sheldons all that smart.
He admitted that Kripke is smarter.
He admitted that he couldn't figure out a solution to that military project.
He didn't know that soup could be delivered.
I'm sure there are others but I've been into the Romulan ale.
The thing is that Sheldon has an eidetic memory and a Texas sized ego. He gives the appearance of being smart. He has a high I.Q. but that only shows what you know and the eidetic memory covers that.
Personally, I would love to see Leonard get the prize, maybe with Kripke.

Kripke was making more progress in his area than Sheldon was in his own line of research, which Sheldon took personally but it's not really the same thing as being "smarter." That was before Sheldon decided that string theory was a dead end and switched to dark matter.
At first he said he couldn't, but he did solve the problem apparently in less than a year when they told Col Williams it would take 2 years - and even found a way to go farther - which is how the project first succeeded and then was taken over by the military.
Probably true, although he blamed it on being feverishly ill.
Kripke would be good, but it would probably be more crushing to his ego if Amy got it. And then, unlike what Sheldon would do, DOESN'T lord it over him forever.

But Tim! I wanted Sheldon to be very, very, VERY smart! That is the information which I was presented in the early seasons. That was one of the things that made him so unique. (Hands on hips, foot out at an angle in front of me, chin jutted out.) Oh well, I guess he's still kind of unique anyway. He's quirky, that's for sure. I guess I'll just have to relish in his quirkiness.

I will grant you that he is a unique quirk, but he is not all that smart. And stop standing like that......it causes unrest.

You mean, it's people like her what cause unrest?

Standing like that? Heck Yes! And even in a Lempunzel outfit? Even more so.
