The Countdown Reflection (season 5, episode 24)

⇑

⇓

Factual error: There is not a snowball's chance of Howard becoming an astronaut. He suffers from Intermittent Cardiac Arrhythmia, something about which he is completely open. This is easily detectable by a simple electrocardiogram, which is a fundamental part of the many medical examinations a potential astronaut will have to pass. He wouldn't even be allowed to start basic training.

The Beta Test Initiation (season 5, episode 14)

⇑

⇓

Factual error: Penny picks up a hand gun, pulls back the slide to ensure the chamber is empty and then loads a magazine into the butt of the weapon and hands it to Leonard. He starts to smooch her and shoots himself in the foot. Problem is, Penny would have had to work the slide again to get a bullet from the magazine into the chamber for this to happen. She pulled the slide far enough back that if there had been a bullet in the chamber already it would have ejected.

The Hot Troll Deviation (season 4, episode 4)

⇑

⇓

Factual error: During the final scene of this episode, Sheldon steps out of his office wearing a gas mask and engages Leonard in conversation where he then states he is making hydrogen sulphide gas (more commonly known as H2S). Leonard correctly identifies this as highly flammable. However, this gas is far more dangerous and is harmful to the human body at as low a concentration as 20 parts per million (ppm), can cause permanent damage at 100ppm and is fatal after two breaths at 500ppm. So for Raj (and his bird) to be completely unharmed in a high concentration of H2S (noted by the fire) is impossible.
