The big bang theory is all about the four kings of nerds who spend their time on science, playing video games, watching sci-fi movies, and reading comic books.
Nerd No. 01: Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper, B.S., M.S., MA, Ph.D., and Sc.D., OMG, right?
I’m not crazy. My mother had me tested.

He strongly dislikes Babylon 5; and is highly obsessed with Nicola Tesla and Mr. Spock from Star Trek.
Nerd No. 02: Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, Ph. D.
We’re here to see Koothrappali, not kill Batman.

He is from a family filled with accomplished scientists in New Jersey and he attended Princeton University, where Albert Einstein too studied. He has a very complicated relationship with his mother which led him to wet the bed well in his teens and expertise in hugging a machine. Being Sheldon’s best friend, and he is the main “Tool”’ that Sheldon uses in his daily routine.
Nerd No. 03: Dr. Rajesh “Raj” Ramayan Koothrappali, Ph. D.
If I had a nickname, mine would be “Brown Dynamite”
Season 5, Episode 15 – “The Friendship Contraction”
He is the best friend of Howard, hangs out at Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment, and has his own apartment named the “Raj Mahal”. He is Originally from a well-rich family in New Delhi. Raj has an Indian English accent and loves cricket. his father is a gynecologist, drives a Bentley, and has a house full of servants. He has a psychological condition, selective mutism, which does not allow him to talk to women without alcohol.
Nerd No. 04: Mr. Howard Wolowitz, M. Eng.
Koothrappali’s going to wet himself, I’m gonna throw up, Sheldon’s gonna run away and you’re going to die. Shall we synchronize our watches?
Season 2, Episode 14 – “The Financial Permeability”
Howard is a Jewish Mechanical engineer and a one-time astronaut (payload specialist). As the best friend of Rajesh Koothrappali, Howard hangs out at Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment with him. He has a master’s degree in Engineering from MIT and designs “important” devices like the “space commode” for the ISS. He is the only member of the group without a doctoral degree. Howard is confident in trying to woo women which he most of the time gets embarrassed with his creepy jokes. He has an overbearing mother and she has influenced his disturbing behavior greatly.
Coming into the Lives of the Nerds
This nerd planet started shifting when a cute young waitress named Penny moved into the apartment across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment. She used her outgoing personality and social skills to improve the personalities of those nerds. Even though Penny does always appear to have a terrible IQ, the geeky guys tried their best to charm her with their limited social skills her looks, and willingness to befriend them. Later, additional two female characters named Amy and Bernadette joined the sitcom as wives of Sheldon and Howard, while Penny and Leonard finally marry after many breakups, which the other nerds refer to by quirky names.
The Big Bang Theory was a show that was made for families to sit down and have a laugh with a ragtag group of friends. As people with great enthusiasm for science, we all should give a try watching The Big Bang Theory, widely regarded as the best sitcom out there. It features many relatable characters, endless, memorable and hilarious moments, and an unforgettable ongoing story.
The rise in popularity of physics appears to be due to a range of factors, including Brian’s [Brian Cox] public success, the might of the Large Hadron Collider and, we’re sure, the popularity of shows like The Big Bang Theory.
