The Vengeance Formulation

⇓

Factual error: Sheldon's voice becomes squeaky when helium is pumped into his office. But if the room contained enough helium to make his voice squeaky just by breathing, Sheldon would actually be suffocating due to lack of oxygen.

The Large Hadron Collision

⇑

⇓

Factual error: At the very end of the show, Leonard and Raj arrive at the hotel, which is supposed to be in Geneva, Switzerland, to visit CERN. If you look out the "hotel" window, it looks like they're half way up Matterhorn, but in Geneva there are no big/rocky mountains anywhere near the city itself.

Revealing: In the scene where Sheldon visits Leonard and Penny in bed, towards the end of the scene, Leonard turns off the light. As he does, if you look carefully, you can see that the light turns off before he hits the switch.

The Gothowitz Deviation

⇑

⇓

Continuity: When Penny is making French toast and Sheldon walks into shot, the edges of the toast are not covered in egg whilst the rest of the toast is. About 30 seconds later, Penny asks Sheldon if he wants French toast and the edges are still not covered in egg. The shot cuts to Sheldon. In this shot we can see Penny's hands to the far edge of screen and fully raised showing us that she hasn't dipped the edges of the toast in egg yet. But in the next shot, we can see the whole of the toast is covered in egg, including the edges of the toast that were clear a moment earlier.

Character mistake: When Howard says they should put the time machine in the lift in 1-14 "The Nerdvana Annihilation", Leonard states the lift had been broken for two years. But in this episode we found out the lift broke seven years earlier.

The Einstein Approximation

⇑

⇓

Character mistake: When working in the Cheesecake Factory, Sheldon says "Bonne appétite". He should know that this is incorrect and would be the first to remind others that the correct phrase is "Bon appétit" (appétit is masculine and the t at the end of the word is not pronounced). He may be confusing the phrase with the German "Guten appetit" or the Italian "Buon appetito", but this is unlikely as using the French "Bon appeéit" is the standard English phrase. Minor character mistake for most people, but not Sheldon.

The Vengeance Formulation

⇑

⇓

Factual error: In order to get vengeance on Kripke, Sheldon mixes a solution of hydrogen peroxide, saturated potassium iodide and liquid soap, creating a large foam blob. This is easy to replicate, and what you will get (and look carefully, it is what Sheldon gets) is a huge, aerated foam mass consisting almost completely of bubbles. It is barely heavier than air, and if dropped from a ceiling as we see later in the episode it would float harmlessly about the place. Whatever it is that drops on Kripke and his visitors later, it isn't the foam mixture we see earlier - it looks like some sort of custard mix.
