The Big Bang Theory was a smash hit of a sitcom for twelve seasons and nearly 280 episodes, but delivering the laughs for viewers doesn't mean that all of the science in the show was accurate. Of course, most viewers aren't going to be physicists who can fact check Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), and Raj (Kunal Nayyar), but one real-life doctor applied his qualifications to the characters' ailments and injuries over the years. And honestly, the whole thing is way more fascinating than I expected.
