Okay, I just rewatched that scene about the cat.
I'm either very tired or missed what the joke was.
Well, you have to know what "Schrödinger's cat" is for there to be a joke - and not everyone does.
Basically it is a thought experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in the 1930s to illustrate some of the odder implications of quantum theory. He came up with it during an exchange of letters with Einstein and others. Modern quantum theories are still interpretted and compared based on how they deal with this famous feline.
Obviously both the joke and the sweetness of the moment derive from Penny's even trying to explain The Cat to her boyfriend. It shows how much of the guys has rubbed off on her, even if only through osmosis, and also that maybe she's smarter than they (and we) give her credit for.

I actually never thought of Penny as being dumb, she happens to live across the hall from two geniuses and any average person with average intelligence would seem like Forrest Gump by comparison lol.
It was quite the sweet moment to hear her try to explain the theory, though.

But in Sheldon's defense he gave no indication that he didn't know that information, he was merely pointing out that at these festivals they put 'Ye Olde' in front of things which they do.
Just because he didn't verbalize the correction doesn't mean he didn't know it, he just didn't say it.

He appeared to be an expert in all things from that period (including how to create linen underpants). So you'd think he'd know better.
But, for the joke to work, he had to say "yee." It succeeded because of its brevity. Elongating it into an expansion on the mispronunciation of the character "Y" would have drawn on the bit longer than it needed to keep the story itself moving forward. For what it is worth.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2
Loved the Three's Company-style misunderstanding moment with Leonard outside of Sheldon's door.
Sheldon was actually quite sweet towards Penny in this episode...up until he tired of her lol. During all of his plots to get rid of her I was thinking "Yeah, you have a hot blonde showing you all sorts of attention...you MUST put a stop to that!".
Sheldon is so lovably clueless that he transcends any negativity and it makes everything he does seem oddly charming.
BTW, how much you wanna bet that Sheldon eventually ends up with Leslie? They just have that rivalry going on that's dripping with repressed sexual tension between them lol.

Mix corn starch with water to make the "non newtonian fluid" -- we made that in college, but didn't know about the speaker trick. It's a fluid until you stir it and then it dramatically solidifies. If you've got kids, you've got to show them!
I thought it was pretty funny, especially Penny being obsessed with the MPORPG. Sheldon trying to comfort her at the beginning and then trying to stay away from her was hilarious. In fact, Jim Parsons was on fire tonight.
The part where the guys were standing around watching the liquid become a solid was great, especially when Leonard said that Penny need to get a life and then he turns around and puts the stereo back on so that the four of them can stand there and keep watching the transformation.
Caught this episode while waiting for How I Met Your Mother to start and I was rolling in laughter. Can't believe I never knew this show existed before. Nice to see Sara Gilbert and Johnny Gilecki (sp?) together again.
Penny: "I looked too Midwest for the part. What the hell does that even mean?"
Sheldon: "Well the American Midwest was mostly settled by Scandinavian and Germanic people...they have a characteristic bone structure."
Penny slouched down and crying
Sheldon: "There...there."
Speaking of Leslie and Sheldon maybe getting together in the future.
I think it would be funny in a future episode that Leslie has a sex dream about Sheldon.
I liked video game nerd Penny.
Hanging around Sheldon and Leonard is slowly getting Penny to act like or becoming one of them.
LOL
