Not that I know anything about physics but I just Googled 'soldering' and 'liquid helium' and there is a link... Something about using soldering to create a cryogenic seal to contain liquid helium (or other similar substances). Could be that this episode is based around Leonard and Sheldon's work.

If I remember correctly, someone in this forum said that one of the greatest difficulties to implement as a Real Word application Howard's idea was just to find a way to keep liquid helium at very low temperatures. Maybe they  solve that problem in this episode...

10 Burning Questions About The Big Bang Theory's Biggest Mysteries, Answered

When 20 million people are watching a show every week, there are bound to be thousands of fan theories (and fiction) running rampant on the Internet that dissect every plot point, continuity issue, and spoiler. And for a show that has run as long as The Big Bang Theory has, viewers are bound to get impatient with the little things that seemingly never get answered or revealed.

So last week, before the cast and crew of The Big Bang Theory gathered to celebrate 200 episodes (you can watch that video here), I took to social media to ask what burning questions you were dying to know. You all delivered and then some (my Twitter feed went bonkers). So, in between asking the cast if they knew how to spell Koothrappali and which character they'd want a secret one-night stand with, I grilled executive producers Steve Molaro and Bill Prady with as many questions as possible. Here you go: the 10 biggest questions about The Big Bang Theory's mysteries!......

They asked 10 questions and got 10 vague non-answers par for the course

That's a pretty hardcore outfit to solder something.  Welding perhaps?

solder would match the lettering on this weeks script.  Johnny may have "borrowed" a prop welders helmet, for the picture.

I like your "on cable" reference, very old school. Why am I in Italic? Damn those new computing machines!

...its because you are talking about racy cable programming--automatically defaults to italic.....

I do like the word "racy", very old school. The Italic thing was just a keyboard malfunction (I blame Bill in stead of my fat fingers).

My point was that the things you stated about Shamy were incorrect. They weren't a couple right away and coitus wasn't an issue for five years. They were originally just friends too, they broke up too and eventually got back together, they aren't completely different from Lenny in that aspect. 

Only because Amy wanted to have sex, doesn't mean that she was ready. Her view of sex seemed pretty immature for quite a while. You can still argue that Sheldon was the sole reason it didn't happen until recently, but it it had happened before, it wouldn't have been convincing nor fair to either characters. That was not just Sheldon's fault. Also, I don't think that "coitus dilemma" was the only interesting thing about Shamy.

Did I say they were a couple? I said...

"... I thought it was about: Sheldon has a girl, what will he do with her, and  will the inevitable happen, or won't it. The audience was teased for years..."

I meant that to be read as Sheldon, who never was interested, was presented with the circumstances that made it possible for him to be interested, and then we watched to see what happened.  OR, TPTB added a reactive agent to a previously inert substance (metaphorically) and let the experiment run. And people responded positively, waiting for the inevitable to happen.

To your second point, it could have as easily be written quicker, if the show hadn't been so successful. They dragged out the suspense.  To be fair it may not have been the only thing that might have engaged audiences but I suspect from the millions of Shamy posts that it  was a major thing. And the inevitable didn't  have to be sex... but hey, it turned out that way. Tick that box. Now, let's  watch for the next tick. Coming s11 probably, when they wrap and go their own ways.

(or they all continue to live in the commune until Ep400 ....lol )

Less Lenny? By that point theyll be in my lounge lol. Can't get anymore smaller.  I mean the show is missing out on a huge comedic possibilities of Sheldon interviewing prospective roommates. And ultimately Amy takes Leonards room lol . Just like in s3 prob my fav ep where Sheldon meets Leonard. It gave the show a backstory. Which was criticised for. Staircase Implementation. This time tho. Amys their going ya no Sheldon that's too much of a demand lol. Guy comes out after failing to meet said demands. Leonard sees him oh did you fail the procreation question. You said preserve procreation. Oh that's gotta suck.

Everybody is using both appartments. We see scenes in both. It's useful for the action to have two dwellings so close together. I can't see them changing the arrangements until there's a child to consider. It would be a good laugh if it turned out they'd bought houses next door to each other. Meanwhile the group games and takeaway nights will probably gravitate to the Wolowitzes' house.

[JE7]

No, no and no they won't they will keep that in 4a they won't change it

But Lenny 99% of the time are in 4a. Only prob 3 scenes isolated just them. So just saying prefer Lenny at 4b most of the time. THEY can still sleep at 4a without changing too much.

[Chrismo]

They have spent more screen time in the 4a kitchen than 4b. I think Leonard would need a tour of 4b to jog his memory.

[3ku11]

I dont get it Friends reference coming lol. THEY changed living arrangements all the time. In one ep it changed several times when Phoebe and Rachel were living at Monicas and Joeys. Did anything change? Nope why? Because next door wasent greenland. Sheldon is Sheldon. But I dont see why Lenny can't move out. Is it just me but im going crazy. That's the difference I think between the two shows the writing. Rachel quit as a waitress in s3. Eventually found a career in fashion. Penny quit in s7. And found a career in selling drugs lol. Rachel moved out in s6. In this show, Leonard is married to the hot girl next door. And its coming on s10 and he's still living with ThAt crazy guy. This show truley is like watching glaciers or icebergs seperate.

I completely agree with this. The living arrangements will only change when Shamy get married or a child is factored in the Lenny relationship. Until then, the characters will remain exactly where they are...in limbo (or purgatory, depending how you look at it :D.).

I'm 100% sure that Shamy and Lenny are going to buy houses next to each other with a complimentary underground tunnel. It would certainly reinforce Sheldon's god-like omnipresent abilities :D

I would also like to have more scenes with just Lenny in 4b, but a. from what I understand, they spend most of their time in 4a since they still live with Sheldon and b. Sheldon lives in 4a so, you know...

not quoting you 3kull.... but it won't let me delete it... the quote system here sucks bigtime.... lol

anyway the next time we probably will see a leonard and penny plot will be when penny gets some movie role ....then leonard whines about it....penny gets irritated instantly and goes to Sheldon for advice.....and this time she gets the part and actually takes it....and then leonard whines even more about it....finally penny has enough.......... and then.... I think it is self explanatory......lol

I know, I meant how everything has to revolve around Sheldon.
