This is one of the reasons worthy scientists working for companies often get passed by.

So the correct answer forThe Big Bang Theoryis whoever published first.

I always found the show so true to life that it was hard to watch.

My wife became completely addicted to it.

So the show isnt really ending!

It will live forever in little corners of the world such as the one I inhabit.

A lot of thought, and work, goes into it!

Its happened several times.

Theres no way that would happen just because some lab director or university president suggested it.

I think historically the Nobel Committees have preferred experimental results to theoretical ones.

Sometimes its very hard to assign credit for an experimental discovery, too.

Who in such a large team deserves credit?

It would take intimate knowledge to really know.

In the case of Sheldon and Amy, they are the ones who know the best.

So Sheldon and Amy are not the only ones with a problem!

If we go on past form, the discoverers which would be the experimentalists get it.

My personal preference is for everyone to share in the prize and break convention.
