Young Sheldon S02e10 M4b: [top]

“Of course it’s not,” he sighed. “It’s a joke. A reference you wouldn’t understand. The real answer is a Bessel function of the first kind, order zero. You were going to get there. You were just… being nice.”

Sheldon typed. The calculator whirred. The program worked. He got the answer. young sheldon s02e10 m4b

Dr. Sturgis wept with joy. “You’re both brilliant! Brilliant! I’m going to go home and hug my laminator in gratitude!” “Of course it’s not,” he sighed

For the next week, Sheldon was obsessed. He stopped eating his oatmeal in precise, measured spoonfuls. He forgot to organize his comic books by publication date. He lay awake at night, replaying Paige’s derivation. The real answer is a Bessel function of

“Sheldon, thank Boltzmann you’re here,” Sturgis said. “I’ve tried everything. Pencil doesn’t write on laminate. My own tears just bead up and roll off.”

Sturgis squinted. “It’s a second-order partial differential. The term should be negative, but I made it positive. That changes the neutron star’s magnetic field decay from exponential to… growth. It would imply a star that gets brighter and brighter until it explodes with the force of a billion supernovas.”

He looked up.
