"The Big Bang Theory" guy Jim Parson is reputed to be one of the most mindful figures in the industry. Much of the credit goes to the impression that fans form out of his extraordinarily high-IQ character on the show, Physicist and Nobel Prize Laureate Sheldon Cooper.
After about 1 year of wrapping up the long-running TV show, Parsons' Sheldon Cooper is being remembered again for his intelligence. It's not sure if Parson's real-life personality is quite a departure from the reel-life personality, but as a TV sitcom character, he did give a great idea that's in line with what the "Tenet" runs on.
It would ask for some digging, but it’s not that difficult to see how Jim Parsons made the prediction. In episode no. 18 of season 2, Sheldon played by Parsons, becomes Penny’s (Kaley Cuoco) helping hand to help her make 1000 hair barrettes for an LGBT Alliance group. In a bid to help her with the hectic task, Sheldon drank a lot of coffee and gets unusually tipsy.
That’s because Sheldon isn’t at all a coffee guy, he despises the idea of taking caffeine that coffee is fraught with. Newly introduced to caffeine, Sheldon feels the effects of the drink very hard. So much so that towards the end of the episode, he turns into The Flash. Well, no introduction is needed as to what The Flash does – he does everything with the speed of the light and that’s exactly what Sheldon Cooper did.
In one of the scenes, Sheldon explains a very elaborate concept. He says, “Let’s reconsider the entire ideology entropy reversed and effect preceding cause, so you are thinking of a universe, not expanding from the center, no, it is retreating! From a possibility space! BAM. A space, where we are all essentially Alice Through the Looking Glass standing in front of the Red Queen.”
It’s not very tough to see where we are heading with this.
Those who have watched the "Tenet" might have guessed that Nolan’s masterpiece also explores similar concepts of physics. Few concepts of the movie revolved around the idea of bending the time. For example, in the movie, the team discovers a time inverting device called The Turnstile.
The idea is pretty weird, but it has helped the movie rack up loads of praises and has turned into a phenomenal piece of cinema in a jiffy, just like The Flash would do. Nolan’s brainchild is one of the biggest superhits of this unusual year.
