Who is Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory?
The theorist with a spot and a roommate agreement · Apartment 4A
Sheldon Cooper (The theorist with a spot and a roommate agreement) is a character in The Big Bang Theory, part of Apartment 4A. Dr Sheldon Cooper — two doctorates, a master's, an IQ he'll quote and an eidetic memory he'll demonstrate — is a theoretical physicist at Caltech and the immovable object of Apartment 4A. He has a spot on the couch (it is the singular locus of his comfort; do not sit in it), a roommate agreement with the force of constitutional law, and a knock that comes in threes. East Texas raised him on church and football; he responded with string theory. Human beings remain his weakest subject, studied dutifully, like a disappointing branch of biology.
