The Big Bang Theory

The Bat Jar Conjecture - S1-E13

Trivia: When Leonard, Howard and Raj are contemplating who to have as the fourth member of their Physics Bowl team, Raj says, "You know who's apparently very smart is the girl who played TV's 'Blossom'. She got a Ph.d in Neuroscience or something." The girl he's referring to is actress Mayim Bialik, who plays Amy Farrah Fowler in later episodes of The Big Bang Theory. Interestingly, she is the only recurring cast member on the show that actually does have a Ph.d in real life.

The Dumpling Paradox - S1-E7

Trivia: Sheldon tells Penny not to sleep with her head close to the door because a headboard is always oriented away from the door; yet in later episodes, we see Sheldon in the exact sleeping spot that he told Penny not to sleep in. At this point I am referring to Pennys' sleep over whilst on Sheldons' couch.

Suggested correction: Sheldon's headboard (and head) is against the wall on the wall opposite his door.

The original poster could be referring to one of the many times we see Sheldon sleeping somewhere else other than his bed. Perhaps an example from the original poster?

Correct on the couch when she had the sleepover.

Mistakes

The Countdown Reflection - S5-E24

Factual error: There is not a snowball's chance of Howard becoming an astronaut. He suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, something about which he is completely open. "Transient" or not 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. Note also that during his basic training he shows signs of severe stress and trauma which would inevitably trigger a cardiac episode. Even if it didn't the fact that he was falling apart at the seams would have him removed from the programme for his own good.

Stephen Hawking: Do you like brain teasers?
Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I love brain teasers.

Questions

Show generally

Question: How come Raj has no problem speaking to his mother, but, when around other women, such as Penny, he immediately stops talking? Also, why does he have to whisper in someone's ear if he wants to ask Penny something?

Answer: Because Raj's selective mutism seems to be caused by women that Raj sees (on some sort of conscious or subconscious level) as a potential sexual partner. An attribute that wouldn't apply to either his sister or mother.
